Koby Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye is the latest member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to line up his own Disney+ series. Disney’s upcoming streaming service is officially developing a limited series based on the archery ace Marvel character with Renner attached to star. The project is said to be an adventure series in which Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye, will pass the torch to Kate Bishop. Bishop is a Marvel Comics character who took up the Hawkeye mantle after Barton. She is also a member of the group known as the Young Avengers. Renner has been a part of the MCU since he first appeared as Hawkeye in an uncredited cameo in “Thor.” He has since played the role in “Avengers,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and “Captain America: Civil War.” He will next appear in “Avengers: Endgame,” which hits theaters on April 26. Renner is also known for his Oscar-nominated roles in “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town” as well as films such as “American Hustle,” “Arrival,” and “Wind River.” As previously reported, there are also Disney+ limited series in the works that will focus on MCU characters like Falcon and Winter Soldier, as well as Loki, Vision, and Scarlet Witch. The series are expected to be six to eight episodes. The series on the Disney+ will be produced by Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige, who has headed up the MCU for years. The shows are also expected to have large budgets compared to other television projects. Netflix previously had its own Marvel TV universe, consisting of the shows “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist,” (which all fed into “The Defenders” miniseries) and “The Punisher.” However, with the imminent launch of Disney+, all of those shows have been canceled within the past few months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 This has potential . Hope that the hype of Disney+ and all the series that are in the works will be well worth it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I hope it's good. He seems to be a solid actor, and given the character's arc in the MCU, it'd be nice to see him retire (instead of being killed off) and live with his family. I wonder who else will be joining the Young Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareTyme Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm actually really excited for the direction that Disney+ is taking the Marvel television franchise. Though it is sad to see some of the much loved shows go (Like Netflix's Dardevil and Jessica Jones) its going to be interesting to seem the put all their works and characters in one continuity. I'm especially excited for Kate Bishop, and the start of the New Avengers era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyouju Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I'm actually really excited for this and the Loki show with Tom Hiddleston, when they first announced their streaming platform I was skeptical, but it looks like they actually will have stuff to interest me.

Stuff123 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 This seems pretty interesting. I liked Kate in the Young Avengers comics and it might be cool. I hope it does expand into a Young Avengers series. It'll be nice to see some new Marvel shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
