Renner, of course, is set to reprise his role as Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye. Although the series will explore more of Clint’s story, it will also introduce Kate Bishop to the mix, one of Hawkeye’s recruits in the comics.

“What I can ultimately do on the show is have an amazing character, ultimately a better version of me,” Renner previously shared. “The feeling of that is the fiber of what Hawkeye is, at least what I think Hawkeye is: a superhero without superpowers and I can teach another person to be a superhero without superpowers.”
