After time-travelling in Endgame and returning to the life of a family man after leaving vigilantism behind, the long underdeveloped Hawkeye will finally be getting his own solo entry in the MCU with the eponymous Hawkeye, streaming on Disney+.
This new series centers around Jeremy Renner back again as Avengers veteran Clint Barton who’s tracked down by a young sharp-shooter fan Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Steinfeld. While Barton tries to focus on his family, he finds himself having to team up with Bishop as they’re under attack by local criminals during Christmas in New York City (Die Hard vibes, anyone?). While Barton attempts to return home to his family before Christmas, Bishop is looking for guidance on how to become a superhero like Barton.
