Caffeinated Clint
A new mini-series featuring Hawkeye, the ‘Avenger’ that shares the phizog of Jeremy Renner, is headed to Disney’s streaming service.
While Renner’s Clint Barton will appear in the series, seems it’ll only be long enough for him to pass the torch to a protege.
Says The Hollywood Reporter, “The miniseries is planned as a jumping-off point for Barton to be able to pass on the Hawkeye mantle to his young protege Kate Bishop, who in the comics is a member of the Young Avengers and has starred in the Hawkeye series from Matt Fraction and Alex Aja. That comic book series, which launched in 2012, earned an Eisner nomination and centered on the student-teacher relationship between Barton and Bishop.”
Renner has played Hawkeye since 2011’s “Thor” and will next be seen wielding the bow in this month’s “Avengers : Endgame”.
The “Hawkeye” series joins a number of other Disney+ series based on Marvel properties, including a ‘Loki’ series, a Vision and Scarlet Witch series, and a Falcon/Winter Soldier series.
