Production

Development

By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing several limited series for its parent company Disney's streaming service, Disney+, to be centered on "second tier" characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films who had not and were unlikely to star in their own films.[9] By April 2019, development of an adventure series starring Jeremy Renner as his MCU film character Clint Barton / Hawkeye had begun. The plot was expected to follow Barton as he bequeaths the mantle of Hawkeye to Kate Bishop. Feige was set to produce the limited series, which would run for six to eight episodes.[1] Renner had originally signed on to star in a standalone feature film focused on his character, but agreed to star in a series instead after Feige decided to redevelop the project for Disney+.[10] Feige officially announced Hawkeye at San Diego Comic-Con in July.[11]

In September 2019, Jonathan Igla was revealed to be serving as the series' head writer.[12] Amy Berg had also been a contender for head writer.[13][14] In July 2020, Rhys Thomas was hired to direct a block of episodes for the series, and to serve as an executive producer, with filmmaking duo Bert & Bertie hired to direct another block.[15][6] Borys Kit at The Hollywood Reporter felt hiring these directors indicated the series could have a "light-hearted tone", given the past work from each.[15] Budgets for each episode were reported to be as much as $25 million.[16]

Writing

Katie Mathewson and Tanner Bean serve as writers on the series.[17] When officially announcing the series, Feige and Renner said the series would follow Barton as he teaches Bishop to be a "superhero without superpowers", and would explore more of Barton's time as the vigilante Ronin that was first shown in Avengers: Endgame (2019).[2] In October 2019, executive producer Trinh Tran said that the series would explore Barton's past,[18][3] and confirmed that the mantle of Hawkeye would be passed to Bishop.[3] Hawkeye is influenced by Matt Fraction's run with the character in the comics.[18] The series features Lucky the Pizza Dog, a golden retriever who is a companion to Barton and Bishop,[3][19] and set photos showed Barton with a hearing aid, indicating his hearing loss would be explored in the series; Fraction's run featured both Lucky and the return of the character's hearing loss.[19]

Casting

With the series' official announcement in July 2019, Renner was confirmed to be starring in the series as Barton.[11] By early September 2019, Hailee Steinfeld had been offered the role of Kate Bishop,[20] but had not yet signed on for the series a month later. Variety reported one reason for this was a non-compete clause in her contract with Apple TV+ for starring in the series Dickinson, something Variety felt Steinfeld would be able to negotiate out of. No other actresses had been approached for the role of Bishop.[21] When asked about her starring in the series shortly after, Steinfeld said it was "not something that's necessarily happening".[22] By August 2020, Liana Ramirez was cast in an undisclosed role.[8] Steinfeld was confirmed as Bishop in December 2020, along with the announcement of Vera Farmiga as Eleanor Bishop, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova / Black Widow, Fra Fee as Kazi, Tony Dalton as Jack Duquesne, Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez / Echo, Zahn McClarnon as William Lopez,[4] and Brian d'Arcy James in an undisclosed role.[6] Pugh reprises her role from Black Widow (2021).[4]

Filming

Filming began in early December 2020 in New York City,[23][24][25] with Bert & Bertie and Rhys Thomas directing,[15] and Eric Steelberg serving as cinematographer.[26] The series is filmed under the working title Anchor Point.[27][28] Filming was previously scheduled to begin on October 5, 2020.[8] Filming took place in Downtown Brooklyn including at the Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets subway station,[23][29][30] and in Manhattan in Washington Square Park,[31] Midtown, Hell's Kitchen,[24] the East Village,[25] and the Lotte New York Palace Hotel.[32] Set photos also indicated the series would occur during the Christmas season and feature a Christmas party.[33] Additional filming took place at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.[28][27]

Marketing

Concept art for the series featuring designs for the characters' costumes are included in Expanding the Universe, a Marvel Studios special that debuted on Disney+ on November 12, 2019.[3] In January 2021, Marvel announced their "Marvel Must Haves" program, which reveals new toys, games, books, apparel, home decor, and other merchandise related to each episode of Hawkeye the Monday following an episode's release.[34]

Release

Hawkeye is scheduled to debut on Disney+ in late 2021.[6] It will be part of Phase Four of the MCU.[35]
