Today's episode of Hawkeye felt a little like filler at times, but it went a long way towards deepening the relationship between Clint Barton and Kate Bishop. That was particularly the case during a pre-Christmas celebration, though the trauma suffered by the Avenger when Natasha Romanoff died ultimately leads to him pushing his unlikely new ally away.
Clint, Kate, and Pizza Dog can all be seen enjoying the festive period in these stills from the Disney+ series, while those returning LARPers also receive the spotlight.
We also see the archers meeting with Eleanor Bishop and Jacques Duquesne, though many fans have expressed disappointment with the latter being little more than a petty crook in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yes, he's skilled with a sword, but with no shared history with Clint, it appears we can forget about seeing a comic-accurate take on Swordmaster. You never know with the MCU, of course, so that could always happen down the line!
Conspicuous by her absence is Yelena Belova; she returned at the end of this episode of Hawkeye, and will likely be highlighted next week in more stills and perhaps a character poster. We'll stay on top of that for you, but there are still plenty of great shots to be found here.
