Today's episode of Hawkeye took us on quite a ride, culminating with the Marvel Cinematic Universe debut of a classic comic book villain who could change the very landscape of this shared world.
With only one instalment of the Disney+ series left, there's an awful lot Marvel Studios needs to cram into the finale next Wednesday. That includes actually showing something of that big bad in action, the story behind the Rolex, Clint Barton and Kate Bishop finally freeing themselves from the Tracksuit Mafia's sights, and making Yelena Belova realise that Hawkeye didn't kill her sister.
Oh, and we can't forget the small matter of setting up that upcoming Echo spinoff series!
We're keeping everything crossed that Hawkeye is able to deliver a strong finale after what's proven to be a superb five episodes of television thus far. It's hard to imagine the ball will be dropped now, especially with Rhys Thomas - who helmed the first two - returning to direct. Based on the way the story has played out, though, don't be surprised if things wrap up with a season two announcement. After all, there's clearly a lot more that can be done with this unlikely duo in the MCU.
