HAWKEYE's Premiere Featured A Blink-And-You'd-Miss-It Cameo From The Incredible Hulk

The season premiere of Hawkeye took us back to the events of 2012's The Avengers, but did you notice a cameo from a certain Green Goliath? Find out exactly where to spot The Hulk after the jump...

Hawkeye's premiere opened with a flashback to the events of 2012's The Avengers, revealing that the young Kate Bishop's life was unknowingly saved by Clint Barton while he battled the Chitauri. 

During a recent interview with before & afters, ILM Visual Effects Supervisor Vincent Papaix revealed, "Marvel was saying, 'Can we include Iron Man? Can we have people from Avengers?' We managed to actually hide one Avenger that nobody has found yet. I won’t tell you where it is in there, but there is one Avenger somewhere in episode one."

Well, The Direct decided to do some digging, and managed to find a tiny Hulk leaping through the sky before getting blasted by the alien invaders. Papaix was asked for confirmation and responded, "It is indeed Hulk jumping from building to building and getting a blast from a Chitauri weapon."

As Easter Eggs go, this is one of the coolest we've come across. Marvel Studios isn't loading up its Disney+ TV shows with cameos for the sake of it, but a moment like this only serves to drive home the fact that these small screen stories are tied to the movies, and every bit as important. 

That wasn't the case with Marvel Television's shows because even though they'd reference what was happening elsewhere, Marvel Studios rarely collaborated with the now-defunct production house. This is why the likes of Daredevil and Jessica Jones appeared to be stuck in that post-Battle of New York period rather than referencing the Sokovia Accords and other key events.

Wow. It's so unexpected that hulk would cameo in an action scene we already know he was in.

@Waddles - shocking cameo. John f Kennedy can be seen in umbrella academy season 2 where the whole plot is them traveling to the time he died and it's centered around his death.

@Origame - What's more shocking is that i saw that the first time it aired yet the studio guys think no one had noticed it... apparently it just wasn't worth commenting about... until this desperate need for yet another article.

@dragon316 - So, then it wasn't obvious to you if you thought it was Hawkeye?

I don't know, to me now it's not anymore even a thing to consider those stuff as easter eggs or cameos. It's just the narration style for this content. I mean, if in a comicbook some X-Men or Fantastic Four member walks into the Avengers HQ it's not like a big deal if some frickin Avenger pops out in the background, right?

Oh that’s who it was thought it was Hawkeye falling off building two different prospective Kate and Hawkeye angles

Guys, I don't know if you noticed, but in that scene you could also see Hawkeye too. It was a nice easter egg. We are talking about obvious things, right?

@Turogalh - you probably didn't notice avengers tower, that girl is a young Kate bishop, or the fact aliens are flying around.

Why is everything an Easter egg? That was a battle Hulk participated in. Also I saw him immediately.
