One of the many details that was nearly front and center from the trailer for Marvel’s Hawkeye was a major surprise in the form of the MCU’s first musical, an in-universe Broadway show based on Captain America called Rogers: The Musical. Seemingly a parody of Hamilton and other musical hits, shots of ads for the show are seen in the street on Hawkeye while some bits of a performance can also be seen in the trailer. Speaking in a new interview, series head writer Jonathan Igla revealed how the idea came about and considering what it’s a parody of the answer probably will not surprise you, especially if you’ve been in New York the past six years.
#Hawkeye showrunner Jonathan Igla explains the origin of the show’s Captain America Broadway musical: “We would drive by a ‘Hamilton’ billboard every morning on the way to the writers’ room. One morning I just thought ‘Rogers: The Musical.’” https://t.co/PosK7Daguf pic.twitter.com/lfJhL1OJuy
