The new MCU Disney+ show Hawkeye <\/em>recently continued filming in New York City, sparking discussion and anticipation around Marvel\u2019s favourite archer. Although part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a> since 2011\u2019s Thor<\/em>, Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner)\u00a0has never had a solo project. He is also rarely called \u201cHawkeye,\u201d the moniker being used on a handful of occasions like quickly during the battle of The Avengers <\/em>or offhand by his wife in Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em>.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0What You Need to Know Before Watching WandaVision<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of an independent superhero, Clint is introduced as a specialized S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent guarding Thor\u2019s hammer Mjolnir when Thor (Chris Hemsworth) tries, and fails, to retrieve it. This was only a minor introductory cameo \u2013 Renner was only cast during reshoots \u2013 that teased Hawkeye\u2019s bow and arrow, but didn\u2019t give him a chance to use it. Clint was once again on guard duty in The Avengers <\/em>watching over the Tesseract, making scientist Dr. Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard) to comment \u201cthe Hawk? Up in his nest as usual.\u201d Although soon afterwards Loki (Tom Hiddleston) teleports into the base and steals the Tesseract, mind-controlling both Selvig and Clint with his Spectre (later revealed to be the Mind Stone<\/a>) in the process.<\/p>\n

Clint\u2019s first full appearance therefore has him working against the newly formed Avengers as Loki\u2019s second-in-command.\u00a0This brainwashing does enable Clint to demonstrate his deadly skillset and impressive marksmanship, including accurately hitting the side of S.H.I.E.L.D.\u2019s flying Helicarrier with an explosive arrow. The Avengers <\/em>would also show how Clint electronically cycles through his \u201ctrick arrows\u201d with a specialized quiver. Plus, Clint\u2019s personal S.H.I.E.L.D. experience gave Loki intel of the Avengers Initiative, and especially Black Widow, who Clint had originally recruited for S.H.I.E.L.D. On the Helicarrier, he and Natasha fight and she manages to override Loki\u2019s mind-control with a \u201ccognitive recalibration,\u201d aka hitting him hard on the head. Both of them joined the other Avengers to stop Loki and the invading army in New York.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Despite his help in saving the world, in the aftermath of The Avengers<\/em>\u2019 enormous success Hawkeye was often made the butt of jokes. SNL made an entire sketch about how \u201cuseless\u201d and underpowered Hawkeye was. Plus, his time being mind-controlled meant Hawkeye was not present for the Avengers\u2019 bickering and bonding. Renner himself felt Hawkeye was underutilized, and even compared to the other non-superpowered S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, Black Widow, Clint seemed somewhat inessential to the Avengers.<\/p>\n

This was course-corrected in Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em>. Not only did Hawkeye explicitly refuse to be mind-controlled again \u2013 blockading Wanda Maximoff\u2019s attempts while saying he\u2019d \u201cdone the whole mind-control thing. Not a fan\u201d \u2013 but his \u201cordinariness\u201d is highlighted as a key asset. After Ultron\u2019s first attack, the Avengers retreat to Hawkeye\u2019s homestead, where he lives with his children and (pregnant) wife Laura off-the-record.<\/p>\n

While recuperating, Laura assures Clint that the other Avengers, these Gods and Monsters, \u201cneed him\u201d in order to ground them and keep them together. Later, Hawkeye himself would pass down this advice to a reformed Wanda. While she is overwhelmed by Ultron\u2019s forces, Hawkeye tells her how \u201cthe city is flying, we\u2019re fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense.\u201d But Clint tells Wanda how you have to accept the actions and responsibilities of the present. Although Clint does also promise his wife that after this mission, he would retire.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

However, Hawkeye isn\u2019t able to stay out of the game for long. In Captain America: Civil War<\/em>, the Sokovia Accords, and Captain America\u2019s returned war-buddy-turned-assassin Bucky \u201cThe Winter Soldier\u201d Barnes, divide the Avengers. Clint is officially \u201cretired\u201d at first and stays neutral on this topic, but later assists Captain America by rescuing\/recruiting Wanda from her house-arrest, sarcastically saying he was \u201cdisappointing [his] kids.\u201d Hawkeye\u2019s reasoning is not given much screen-time, but he does say he \u201cowe[s] a debt\u201d to Wanda, especially after seeing her twin brother Pietro die in Age of Ultron<\/em>. Like most of Cap\u2019s allies he gets apprehended after the airport battle, and imprisoned in the Raft.<\/p>\n

Civil War <\/em>does end with Cap freeing them all from the Raft, but both Hawkeye and Ant-Man decline to re-join Cap\u2019s \u201cSecret Avengers\u201d and instead make an FBI deal that places them on house-arrest probation instead. Therefore, neither of them are part of the action in Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>, meaning Clint is taken completely by surprise when his entire family suddenly disappear due to Thanos\u2019 Snap, shown during Avengers: Endgame<\/em>\u2019s cold open.<\/p>\n

Clint is devastated by this loss, so much that he dons a new moniker of \u201cRonin\u201d to track down and murder criminal gangs who survived the Snap. Black Widow manages to retrieve him for the surviving Avengers\u2019 plan to time-travel and steal back the Infinity Stones, although many are concerned Clint is too far gone. He and Black Widow are sent to retrieve the Soul Stone on the planet Morag, only to discover a human sacrifice is required. Both Clint and Natasha fight to sacrifice themselves before the other one, although Black Widow eventually \u201csucceeds\u201d in throwing herself off the cliff.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

With the Soul Stone and other Infinity Stones returned, the Avengers were able to resurrect everyone vanished in the Snap, including Hawkeye\u2019s family. Yet Endgame <\/em>also addresses that since Black Widow\u2019s death was instrumental to gaining the Soul Stone, her death cannot be reversed<\/a>. So, alongside the death of Iron Man, Hawkeye and Wanda share a separate moment where they mourn the sacrifice of Natasha and Vision.<\/p>\n

The Disney+ Hawkeye <\/em>series will reportedly expand upon Clint\u2019s time during Endgame <\/em>as Ronin. But although Black Widow makes more references to her shadowy past, Hawkeye\u2019s own backstory as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent is largely unknown. The series also draws heavy inspiration from Matt Fraction and David Aja\u2019s acclaimed Eisner-winning 2012-2015 run<\/a> of the character, from the title-logo stylization to the appearance of Lucky the Pizza Dog.<\/p>\n

Fraction and Aja\u2019s series itself was slightly influenced by Renner\u2019s first Avengers <\/em>appearance, as comics Hawkeye traded in his flamboyant purple costume with a stripped-down purple-arrowhead T-Shirt. Mostly the comic series was a stylized and sharply comedic showcase of Clint fighting \u201cstreet-level\u201d crime. The first issue revolves around Hawkeye trying to save a dog, and the major arc is defending his tenement building from the \u201ctracksuit mafia,\u201d all the while building up his relationship with \u201cthe other Hawkeye\u201d Kate Bishop (who will be played by Hailee Steinfeld<\/a> in Hawkeye<\/em>).<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Hawkeye <\/em>will likely show Clint passing the mantle onto Bishop, although in the comics<\/a> she actually took it up herself when Hawkeye was dead (he got better). Indeed there are many differences between the MCU\u2019s Hawkeye and the original comics, Renner\u2019s version being closer to the Ultimate Marvel incarnation. In the main comics, Hawkeye was never a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent but an orphaned circus performer who became a petty criminal with (the supervillain) Black Widow before joining the Avengers. Hawkeye was also far more contentious, clashing with Captain America for leadership of the team.<\/p>\n

He also does not have a family. In the MCU he has a slight mentorship role with Wanda, but in the comics, there is a minor romantic tension between the two (complicated by the fact Wanda is the one who killed and resurrected him). He did marry S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Mockingbird (played in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/em><\/a> by Adrianne Palicki), although the two later divorced. The Hawkeye <\/em>show will likely feature how the MCU\u2019s \u201cfamily man\u201d can handle his own spotlight, particularly after the complicated grief of Endgame<\/em>. But his high skillset and long experience should let Clint fare fine on his own, even if he is yet again being pulled out of retirement.<\/p>\n

Hawkeye <\/em><\/strong>will be available for streaming on Disney+ in 2021.<\/p>\n
