Hawkeye: Marvel TV show about superheroes with conman syndrome
Written byTimes Magazine
Who is the best avenger? Unfortunately, there are no shadows, but you probably won't find many people who prefer the bow and arrow guy in Marvel movies. But that's one of the things explored in the new Disney+ TV show Hawkeye, where the Avengers shooter is finally in the spotlight.
The series marks ten years for Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye/Clint Barton. "I love the idea that Clint is a man who has been elevated to Avengers status, but he's a man, and I think he feels that uncertainty and reality," director and executive producer Rhys Thomas told Radio 1 Newsbeat.
"This is a person who cares about his worth and is almost an element of the cheating syndrome. "That's part of the fun - going in and wrestling with the eagle eye identity that sets you apart - but knowing the reality inside."
In cheater syndrome, people constantly doubt their skills, experience, and accomplishments - usually despite evidence that they are pretty good at what they do. Jeremy says that's why Hawkeye is such a good character for fans of the franchise.
"I've always enjoyed how he anchors the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fantasy because he's a superhero without superpowers," Jeremy told Newsbeat. "That's why they fight first and foremost - because he has his family and children."
This time around, while the infamous Avengers are absent, Hawkeye reunites with newcomer Hailey Steinfeld, who plays the notorious Kate Bishop. Kate is a huge Hawkeye fan and archery herself.
Looking back at the beginning of the first episode reveals that as a child, Kate witnessed the events of the first Avengers film and saw how Hawk's Eye helped save New York from an alien invasion. Actress and singer Hailey Steinfeld makes her Marvel debut in Hawkeye
Kate Bishop was a character in Marvel's 2005 Comics and ended up taking on the role of Hawkeye in several of the storylines. "I enjoy this character, this world, this job, and the blessings you get with it," he said. "There are a lot of twists and turns in this type of story, and I certainly don't need Haley to feel like a fish out of water.
