‘Hawkeye’, the new Marvel series that infects Christmas

Marvel has brought to the screen impossible adventures, impressive fights and extreme missions to save the world, but Hawkeye, his new series with Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, steps away from the epic of superheroes to soak up the Christmas spirit.

“In this series we go to a very ordinary world, to Christmas in New York. Hawkeye is not a superhero here: he is on vacation with his family “Renner announced in a video call with Efe.

Disney + will premiere on November 24 this new series that expands the success that Marvel has obtained on television, where highly applauded projects such as WandaVision O Loki.

After his numerous appearances in the films of Avengers, Renner grabs the bow again as Hawkeye in a series that counts as an incentive with Hailee Steinfeld, giving life to the intrepid young woman Kate Bishop.

Light in the dark

Clint Barton, the real name behind Hawkeye, was one of the worst-off characters in the film’s apocalyptic combat Avengers: Endgame (2019).

In that movie, Renner’s character saw how Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was sacrificed instead as an inescapable step to stop and defeat the evil Thanos.

This series does not evade the trauma that Hawkeye experienced, but contrasts it with the happiness, smiles and illusion of the Christmas holidays in New York.

Renner underlined the contrast between the “light” tone of a story set at Christmas and “The weight that carries” his character by the wounds of the past.

“There is a wonderful balance there and I think it sets the tone for what happens throughout the series for all the characters.”, said.

“Without revealing too much, the role of Hailee also has to deal with certain difficulties, tragedies and things to overcome”added the double Oscar nominee for The Hurt Locker (2008) and The Town (2010).

Welcome to Steinfeld

Since his fantastic public presentation with True Grit (2010) by the Coen brothers, which gave her an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress, Steinfeld has established herself as one of the emerging talents in Hollywood thanks to films such as The Edge of Seventeen (2016), the saga Pitch Perfect, Bumblebee (2018) or the series Dickinson.

Now he lands in the Marvel universe with the responsibility of embodying Kate Bishop and with the possibility of becoming a new favorite of the public after the end of the Avengers.

“I found it very exciting that this is a very special character and much loved by many fans (of the comics), who have waited a long time to see him come to life (on screen)”Steinfeld said.

The actress also stressed that having Renner as a scene partner was a plus for joining the project.

“There was really nothing in the show that didn’t sound great to me. But I was excited to play this character, someone who is strong, independent, a perfectionist, who wants to be in action to do good and help people “, he claimed.

Adventures among friends

Especially in the beginning, Hawkeye he indulges in the dynamics of the “buddy movies”, those stories with two friends sharing adventures and mixing action and comedy.

In this case, Hawkeye and Kate Bishop must solve a mysterious robbery that occurred in New York high society combining their skills: those of a very enthusiastic young woman but with little experience and a certain facility to screw up; and those of a veteran hardened in a thousand battles and who now only wants to return to his family home as soon as possible.

“The configuration of this situation is very important: our characters are something like opposites”Renner argued about the chemistry of the two protagonists.

“But you also need an intelligent and capable actress who can do it. It takes like a dance between the two to get it done. I feel really good about that aspect of the show. “, Hill. (I)
