HAWKEYE Deleted Scene Takes Us Back To Clint Barton's Childhood - And He Was Always A Crack Shot!

Another sequence that didn't make it into Marvel's Hawkeye has been shared online, and this deleted scene takes us back to Clint Barton's childhood. It seems The Avenger was always a great shot...

We're not sure where these came from, but several deleted scenes from Disney+'s Hawkeye have been shared online (you can check out two featuring The Kingpin here), and even though most of them are fairly uneventful, some are definitely worth a watch.

This latest sequence takes us back to Clint Barton's childhood for the first time, as the future Avenger picks a pocket or two with his young (teenage?) mother at the fair. After swiping a watch, Clint demonstrates his skills at the duck shoot, proving that he was always an adept marksman.

The scene gives us an intriguing glimpse into Barton's past, as the budding archer's mother teaches him that it's okay to "do bad things to bad people." Of course, we know Clint would go on to join S.H.I.E.L.D. as an elite assassin, and it seems his willingness to take human life when necessary may have had it routes in that car with his mam.

You'll find more scenes in the thread above, and while a few do feature some fun character moments, it's not hard to see why the majority were cut.

What did you guys think of Hawkeye overall? Would you like to see a second season?

I have no idea where this particular scene would've fit in the show, but it is a fun watch. Wonder how many more scenes if a young Clint are, and why none of them made it into the show.

@Superheromoviefan - this version of Jacques was ridicilous enough to randomly wear the helmet. Kinda bummed now that he didn't

That was one element of this show that I thought was missing: they had a perfect opportunity to explore Clint’s backstory in the MCU and just…didn’t. I get that they had only so much story to tell and so many episodes, but I was disappointed by that. I was also VERY disappointed that they had set up Swordsman in this show and completely ignored his relationship with Clint in the comics. There’s not even an allusion, nothing.

@Kurban - they dropped the ball with exploring Clint’s past and his relationship with Swordsman

I was hoping the show would have more origin-y stuff

Wish this was included. Still have no idea where he comes from really abs what makes him tick. Wasted opportunity.

Why didn’t we get this? Are they restricted by the way too short showtime lengths? That’s my biggest gripe with these shows & this format. I don’t understand why they drip content to us 40 minutes at a time if we’re lucky. I think especially since these shows are supposed to be more cinematic should be at minimum an hour long. Some are 36 minutes with 4 minutes of credits. There’s so much to explore, was hoping these shows would get us that. Loki was my favorite, but even that felt shortchanged with the short shows.

One of the biggest faults with Hawkeye as a show is I left knowing nothing more about the character than I did going into it.

Just make Jack into a secret half-sibling of a more comic-accurate Swordsman and problem solved.

Overall, Hawkeye kicked ass.

I think we should get a S2. The fact that they held onto this scene indicates to me that maybe they do wanna explore Clint's past later in the future. Could do a Trickshot as the villain for S2.

This would have been awesome on the show.

I mean of course they cut a majority of Clint from the Hawkeye show...

Why does every deleted scene and scrapped idea for this show sound better than what we ended up with? It felt very superficial and a waste of a concept. Hopefully they can course correct in an hypothetical season 2. Easily at the bottom of my ranking of the MCU shows.

that clip was amazing, i can see why they decided to release it.

would have loved to see more of hawkeye and his beginnings. maybe a season 2.

i really liked the relationship between him and his mother, by the sounds of it they may have been going to reveal she was jailed at some point. shame since she clearly loved him but they had to get by somehow.

id like to see all of this brought up in season 2
