Hawkeye is fast approaching, and a new promo for the Disney+ series aired on television last night.
There are only a few snippets of fresh footage, but the key reveal here is that Clint Barton is using Stark Tech to create what looks an awful lot like trick arrows. Previous sneak peeks have confirmed that these more powerful arrows will come into play (much to Kate Bishop's delight), and this seems to be where they originate from.
While Clint has kicked plenty of butt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since his 2011 introduction in Thor, it feels like this Disney+ series will better explore what he's capable of as a hero. Though the stage is seemingly being set for Kate to take over the mantle, we're hoping this show doesn't mark the end for the original Hawkeye, because there's no doubt more of his story to tell.
The review embargo for Hawkeye lifts on November 23 at 9am PT, and we'll share our verdict with you then. For now, you can check out this TV spot - and our social media reaction - below:
"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!
