2021 may be nearing its end, but Marvel Studios is by no means finished yet. Eternals arrives in theaters this Friday, while Hawkeye lands on Disney+ starting November 24. From there, all eyes will be on Spider-Man: No Way Home, but we'll be spending the weeks before then familiarising ourselves with the Marvel Cinematic Universe's newest hero: Kate Bishop.
While Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton will also be the focus, it feels a lot like the passing of that "Hawkeye" mantle will be by far the biggest part of the latest Phase 4 TV series.
Those of you familiar with Kate will know she's a true hero, and in two newly revealed stills, we see a badass shot of her taking aim in full costume. The second, however, shows the future Young Avenger looking a little more discreet...despite carrying her bow. It does look like Clint will have his hands full showing Kate the ropes, but the trailers point to her being a very capable archer.
"Set in post-blip New York City, former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. Possible? Maybe with the help of Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer with dreams of becoming a Super Hero," reads the synopsis for the series. "The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton’s past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit."
Starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Hawkeye also features Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d’Arcy James and newcomer Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez. Helmed by Rhys Thomas and directing duo Bert and Bertie, Hawkeye is set to debut exclusively on Disney+ on November 24, 2021...with the first two episodes!
