Marvel Is Giving The Most Underappreciated Avenger A Spin-Off Show

Avengers, assemble! Wait, no, just you, Hawkeye.


Variety reports that Marvel is bringing a new solo Hawkeye series to the Disney+ streaming platform, giving one of the Avengers' most underappreciated heroes some time in the limelight.


The new Hawkeye series is mentioned to star Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton (Hawkeye). It will also feature Kate Bishop, the next person in the Marvel Comics universe to take on the Hawkeye moniker, however there's no word on who will take on Bishop's role just although. The series would explore Bishop's time as Hawkeye, as she learns the ropes from Barton and gets acclimated to her new role as a hero before joining the Young Avengers. So it sounds a lot like Matt Fraction's celebrated Hawkeye run, and if that's the case then this is fantastic news.


Neither Disney nor Renner have commented on the potential series, nevertheless if the show does happen to take off, it's likely that Renner will reprise his role. The actor has been playing Hawkeye since the opening Thor movie, and has appeared in Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Captain America: Civil War.  Although he was curiously absent in Avengers: Infinity War, he will appear in Avengers: Endgame any time it premieres later this month.


There are countless Marvel Cinematic Universe shows in the works for the Disney+ platform, including programs that will supposedly concentrate on characters like Loki, Falcon, Vision, Winter Soldier, and even Scarlet Witch, all of which are mentioned to last around six to eight episodes with their own big-budget production teams in back of them.


Neither Marvel nor Disney have seen fit to illuminate fans on what these series might entail, however new series centering on specific heroes should act as a band-aid for those left reeling from the Netflix cancelations of Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and The Punisher. There's no word on whether those shows will be resurrected as soon as Disney+ debuts.


so far, Hawkeye fans can look forward to seeing the hero once Avengers: Endgame drops on April 26.
