The mentor - mentee relationship between Jeremy Renner ’s Clint Barton and Kate   is arrange to be the focus of the series , which   will nibble up after the events ofAvengers : Endgame .

For a retentive time , Natasha Romanoff ( Scarlett Johansson ) and Clint Barton   were the only two Phase 1 grinder who had been denied their own standalone property . stage 4 is addressing that , first with Natasha’sBlack Widowmovie and now with theupcoming Disney+ series , Hawkeye . While there ’s no preexisting   story it ’s closely sticking to and adapting , the serial seems to be borrow heavily from writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja’sHawkeye : My Life As a Weaponcomic Word streak .

With any fate , Fraction and Aja ’s lowkey vibe will interpret over to the Disney+ serial . Hawkeyewill celebrate exactlywhy Clint ’s the worst Avenger – which is honestly what make him great . Of course , it look on how the word " bad " is translate here . If judging   the Avengers by major power , unearthly accomplishment , superhuman abilities , or thaumaturgy , then , yes ,   Clint is by far the worst Avenger . He does n’t have any major powers or abilities . He does n’t have billion - one dollar bill gadgets . He ’s not even an enhanced human being like Natasha . He ’s just human   –   even if some sports fan want to argue otherwise   – which is ultimately his strength .

Clint get it on it , too . InAvengers : Age of Ultron ,   the only moviein the Marvel Cinematic Universeto   offer a glimpse of   Fraction and Aja ’s   iteration of Hawkeye so far , Clint is   very much mindful he ’s all too human .   On the surface , his skill are idiotic when stacked up next to demigods , crack soldier , hi - technical school billionaires , and a   legion of unstoppable droids lead by an harebrained robot . " The city is flying and we ’re fight an army of robots . And I have a bow and pointer , " he says with   the   unmistakable   deadpan and ego - deprecating wit of Fraction ’s representative .

The trailer for   theHawkeyeDisney+ series looks set to tend into that deadpan humor as Clint Barton quip his direction through dangerous military action sequence all juxtapose to debonaire Christmas music . By exploring this side of the theatrical role , Marvel will finally be able-bodied to give Clint his due .   More , it will embrace precisely that which makes him the worst Avenger but arguably the with child hero : his humans .   Clint   spends the comic script series banged up , flaming , and nursing some accidental injury or another .   Many of the panels show him with a bandage on some part of his body ,   along with his on - again , off - again try help . It underscores what makes Hawkeye great . It ’s easy to be heroic and run headfirst into a fight when you ’re good - indestructible or have top-notch - strength or a flying suit of armour . But it ’s beyond brave to run into that same fight when you ’re a human whose bone can easily break and whose only protection is a recurve bowknot and some put-on arrows . Hawkeyeis set to research the conclusion and bravery that drive Clint   to do what he does despite the danger .

The MCU Phase 4   may also show another side of Clint rarely seen with comic book heroes : their downtime . The Marvel flick have arguably dived deeper into type development and off - superhero time of day better than any other enfranchisement . Theparty   prospect inAvengers : Age of Ultronor the raw , grief - take conversation between Natasha and Steve Rogers inAvengers : Endgameboth natural spring to mind . Even for the MCU ’s willingness to humanize its character , however ,   the moving picture simply do n’t spend a lot of time with them when they ’re not in Avengers musical mode . The format ofHawkeyeas a series on Disney+ will give Marvel more meter to explore the case . The show seems particularly ready to be given into this as the Barton menage is determine to be a key factor of the show , seeing Hawkeye juggling training Kate Bishop , divvy up with international crime rings , and trying to get home to his family in time for Christmas . All of this   offers the chance to   see Clint not when he ’s   being a hero , but when he ’s just being a human seek to get by . in the end , everyone ’s favorite worst Avenger will be fete as he deserves .
