Hawkeye first reactions: Marvel fans praise ‘phenomenal’ new Disney+ series
The first reactions to Jonathan Igla’s new Marvel series Hawkeye are rolling in.
The series, which stars Jeremy Renner as his MCU character Clint “Hawkeye” Barton and Hailee Steinfeld as his new protégé, is set to arrive on Disney Plus this month.
In the trailer which was released in September, fans saw Hawkeye begin to settle back into family life after the events of Avengers: Endgame, with his wife and children having returned after the blip.
However, it seems that his ruthless vigilantism has come back to haunt him. Also thrown into the mix is Kate Bishop (Steinfeld), who fights crime as another Hawkeye-style archer.
Fans have all praises for the series, with some calling it “refreshing”, “enjoyable”, and “easily the most light-hearted and funny of the Disney Plus Marvel shows”.
Producer Brandon Davis wrote: “Hawkeye opens on a really cool sequence that is super rewarding for long time MCU fans. I loved it”.
He added: “Hailee Steinfeld is a great, energised Kate Bishop. Great new addition who hits the mark! The future for Kate and Clint’s dynamic seems really, really fun. Watched 2 eps, want 3!”
Hawkeye is good, Christmasy fun. It does feel the least ambitious of the MCU series thus far (obviously that could change after 2 episodes). Reminds me a bit of the Netflix series. Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop is a treat and I can’t wait until she meets Pugh’s Yelena. #Hawkeye pic.twitter.com/NcroguuQgK

#Hawkeye is the street-level show, through the lens of the MCU we’ve been waiting for. Hailee Steinfeld steals every single scene she is in. It’s also the most TV show like Disney+ project we’ve gotten yet. pic.twitter.com/XpLCwIduJI

Film and TV Critic Tessa Smith added: “Hawkeye is PERFECT. 15 minutes in and I was a sobbing mess.”
“Feels the most MCU of the Marvel shows with action & story. Great Kate Bishop introduction (Hailee Steinfeld is AMAZING) but also the show Clint deserves. SO MANY COMIC NODS! Avengers musical in real life, please,” she wrote.
Many fans are also appreciating the series’s Christmassy theme.
#Hawkeye is freaking phenomenal, most fun I've had watching a #Marvel show all year! @JeremyRenner finally gets the perfect showcase and is a complete badass while @HaileeSteinfeld is effortlessly charming as #KateBishop. Probably my favorite new addition to the MCU. pic.twitter.com/CWQmEugXLf

#Hawkeye is classic Marvel action-adventure comedy. It leans in heavily to the joy of Christmas and the idea of family. #HaileeSteinfeld absolutely steals the show and owns the screen. pic.twitter.com/l88vdiuZmR
