Marvel Studios is reportedly aiming at growing a Hawkeye Season 2 with Clint Barton and Kate Bishop in a plot impressed by The Raid.

Grab your quiver of trick arrows and prep a boxed Macaroni and Cheese pot as a result of Kate Bishop and Clint Barton might return for Hawkeye Season 2. A goal with a rumor at its bullseye is making the rounds at present, with whispers of Marvel growing a follow-up to 2021’s Hawkeye collection on Disney+. The rumor comes from trade scooper @MyTimeToShineH, who says Marvel plans to place Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton on the heart of an outrageous plot with The Raid-like components.

Okay. The final time somebody informed me one thing would really feel like The Raid, we received 2021’s Mortal Kombat, which was enjoyable, however saying it’s like The Raid is loopy speak. So, pardon me if I’m skeptical. Anyway, @MyTimeToShineH says Hawkeye has been renewed for a second season, with Clint’s brother, Barney, enjoying a major position. “The season will be inspired by The Raid, with Kate and Clint stuck in one location,” in accordance with @MyTimeToShineH.

The Hawkeye Season 2 rumor follows Marvel’s announcement that it’s scaling again its manufacturing of Marvel content material. Bob Iger had lengthy pledged to scale back the variety of tasks Marvel and Star Wars produce. According to Variety, in the corporate’s quarterly earnings name earlier this month, the CEO mentioned, “We’re slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two, or a maximum of three. And we’re working hard on what that path is.” Iger acknowledged that Marvel Studios has “a couple of good films in ’25 and then we’re heading to more Avengers, which we’re extremely excited about. Overall, I feel great about the slate. It’s something that I’ve committed to spending more and more time on. The team is one that I have tremendous confidence in and the IP that we’re mining, including all the sequels that we’re doing, is second to none.”

In the comics, Barney Barton is the older brother of Clint Barton, whose introduction got here in 1983’s Hawkeye #1. While rising up in an abusive dwelling, Barney taught Clint learn how to defend himself from their alcoholic, violent father. Barney taught Clint learn how to hearth arrows and enhance his purpose. When their dad and mom died in a automotive accident, Barney and Clint joined the Carson Carnival of Traveling Wonder as roustabouts. The boys later turned part of the present, with Clint taking heart stage. Frustrated with his life’s path, Barney joined the Army. He needed Clint to hitch him, however the brothers turned like two ships passing at evening. The brothers ultimately cross paths and even struggle alongside each other, although their dynamic has modified. If Hawkeye Season 2 is legit, and Barney is part of the story, he might carry some large familial drama to the superhero-centric motion.

Do you suppose Marvel is growing Hawkeye Season 2? Would you prefer to see Clint and Kate trapped in a Raid-like state of affairs? Let us know in the feedback part under.
