'Hawkeye' Miniseries Starring Jeremy Renner in the Works at Disney+

The actor will reprise his role as Marvel archer Clint Barton.

Jeremy Renner's time as Hawkeye is not ending with Avengers: Endgame.

A Hawkeye miniseries is in the works for the upcoming Disney+ streaming series, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The series will center on Clint Barton, the superhero archery expert Renner has played in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2011's Thor. 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, launching in 2012, earned an Eisner nomination and centered on the student-teacher relationship between Barton and Burton.

Renner, who is repped by CAA, last appeared as Hawkeye in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, and returns to the big screen April 26 with Avengers: Endgame.

The Hawkeye miniseries would join a number of Disney+ projects starring Marvel's big screen talent. Tom Hiddleston is set to star in a Loki series, while Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen are playing Vision and Secret Witch in their own project. Meanwhile, a Falcon/Winter Soldier miniseries would see Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan team up for their own adventures.

In addition, Disney+ has two unscripted Marvel shows in the works that were unveiled Wednesday. They include a series with the working title Marvel's 616 — an anthological docuseries set at the intersection of the comic giant's stories, characters and creators and everyday people — and Marvel's Hero Project, which explores the positive change several young heroes are making in their own communities.

The Disney+ expansion plans come as the MCU is poised for a shakeup and to say goodbye to some of its key players with Endgame. It also follows Netflix canceling its Marvel shows as the competing streaming service nears launch.

Variety first reported the Hawkeye news.

This sounds better than the Scarlet Witch and Loki ones, but I'm a Renner fan in general.

I'm always interested in Hawkeye's character being expanded upon but Scarlet Witch is where its at for me.

[Rodney-2187]

Well, it’s happening. Pretty soon I won’t have time to watch anything but Disney. I’m not complaining. Resistance is futile.

[cynatnite]

This makes me happy.

[kevin87]

I'm not sure I'll keep Disney+ full time, but the more stuff they get to pad their offerings, the more I might resub when I have enough to watch lol

[Gaius Marius]

If they can adapt the Fraction/Aja comics, that would be great! Love that story, and the interaction between Barton and Bishop are entertaining.

[UniSol GR77]

Give the guy the Hawkeye mask. You know...

[Tony208]

This gonna cover the time he was playing tag while Thanos wiped out half the universe?

[imsounoriginal]

Nah but it might cover that Budapest mission lol

I don't know how to feel about these shows. At the end of the day a 10, 45 to 60 minute episode, will result in a longer run time then a 2 to 3 hour movie. Therefor all these secondary characters, minus Widow, will more than likely have more screen time then the Avengers.
I say its a shame they couldn't have pulled off an Avengers series. A 10 episode season would easily surpass just one 3 hour long movie.

Jeremy Renner is sex incarnate. This news makes me, uh, very pleased.

[Rodney-2187]

It’s a sitcom with his wife and kids.

The Barton’s

I’d be glued to it.



I can see the opening credits and hear the theme song now.

[Darkstream]

What about the Lady Sif series?

[Sawasdee1983]

I think that will be the only new MCU Series I will probably watch. I like Renner

I don't see how that's a bad thing

Having the supporting characters be leads of their own series is great as they don't necessarily have enough development in the main films.

Besides, an Avengers TV series with the big name A-Lister's (Downey, Evans, Hemsworth, Ruffalo, etc) would be way too damn expensive.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. In a perfect world we could have an A-List mega series.

With how much actors get paid money shouldn't ever be an issue.

I know that's how the world works and all but if you can get the secondary characters/actors to headline their own shows then why couldn't we get something bigger?

Film making should be about the passion not the paycheck. Having RDJ, Evans, Hemsworth, and Ruffalo agree to do something like that for a smaller paycheck to give the money to the production of a series would be insane.
