“This is the first Christmas we’ve had together in years.”
An ominous first line in the long-awaited official trailer! Clint is on the run, but Hailee Steinfeld’s new character, Kate Bishop, is in the spotlight.
Clint Barton didn’t handle “The Snap” well. When Thanos erased Clint’s family along with half the life in the Universe during Avengers Infinity War, he went of the grid and became “Ronin” a ninja clad vigilante that targeted crime syndicates and killed indiscriminately.
And in those five years, Clint made a huge amount of enemies throughout the criminal underground, now they are looking for payback!
Intro self-styled “The World’s Greatest Archer.” Kate Bishop (Hailey Stansfield) a 22-year-old protege on her own mission for retribution playing Robin to Clint’s grizzled Crusader, and both getting thoroughly walloped and gloriously dishing out comic book pain in the process of reuniting the Bartons for Christmas. The show looks like “Die Hard” meets “TDKR” which is kinda bad ass if you think about it!
Hawkeye was created by Jonathan Igla (Mad Men), who is also the series’ head writer. The series will be directed by Rhys Thomas (John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch) and the duo Bert and Bertie (Troop Zero). The series also stars Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez, aka Echo, a young Deaf woman who can perfectly mimic people’s movements, and Vera Farmiga as Eleanor Bishop, Kate Bishop’s mother.
Starring: Jeremy Renner; Hailee Steinfeld; Vera Farmiga; Fra Fee; Tony Dalton; Zahn McClarnon; Brian d’Arcy James; Alaqua Cox
It’s an upbeat, chaotic, violent joyride filled with Russian crime syndicates sporting matching tracksuits, Ninjas, comic book villains, and the unluckiest dog in the world named of course “Lucky”.
With the new wrinkle that Yelena Bolova, Natasha’s sister in the Red Room and the new Black Widow (Florence Pugh) believes Barton is responsible for Nat’s death. This makes the upcoming Disney Plus Exclusive Series must-see tv!
Check out the show when it premieres on November 24th!
