Marvel fans started panicking yesterday when a report surfaced claiming that
Hawkeye had been delayed "indefinitely" after some changes in how the studio is prioritising its Disney+ slate meant it may not meet its July 2020 production start date. Well, it didn't take long for that to be debunked!
According to
The Verge's Julia Alexander, Disney told her that the report was
"completely inaccurate" and that sources within the studio have
"vehemently denied it."
Honestly, it always seemed like something of a stretch because even if
Hawkeye doesn't start shooting this year, it's a big leap to say that the show been "indefinitely" delayed when a 2021 start date seems likely. There have been rumblings that Marvel is looking to create some distance between reports about Jeremy Renner's personal life and this series, but that's mostly been forgotten now anyway!
It also appears as of Hailee Steinfeld's deal with Apple TV is causing issues with her being cast as Kate Bishop, so if there did turn out to be a delay. at least it would give Marvel Studios the opportunity to sort that out.
With any luck, we'll get some more positive updates about
Hawkeye soon.
