Hawkeye Head Writer Teases Many Marvel Callbacks In The Series

The head writer on Marvel’s Hawkeye discussed some of the ways the Disney+ series will include callbacks to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Audiences learned in the opening minutes of Avengers: Endgame that Clint Barton’s family were dusted in the event known as the Blip, when Thanos used the Infinity Stones to wipe out half of all life in the universe. The Avengers successfully resurrected everyone, meaning Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye could finally retire from the superhero life. Enter Kate Bishop, who teams up with her idol for a new adventure. The cast and crew of Hawkeye attended a red carpet premiere, where showrunner Jonathan Igla was asked how they planned to handle these MCU callbacks.

#Hawkeye showrunner Jonathan Igla explains how he approached sprinkling MCU callbacks throughout the series: “We want the show to be accessible to new fans and also to reward the longtime fans. It is a tricky balance, especially as the universe expands and expands.” pic.twitter.com/leK9YBOpfe
