Let's break down a bit what details you should pay attention to in this new project, what it all means, and what will happen to the universe after 'Hawkeye'.

What's going on with Hawkeye? Many fans are asking this question, but no answer is found. Marvel releases another series where the actors shine, but the plot doesn't shine yet. Let's start with the fact that the show 'Hawkeye' resembles a big reference to all the hero's comics, where every detail will be familiar only to the biggest fans: drawings, cars, costumes, chases, arrows, and names.

The style is reminiscent of superhero movies from the 2010s. Slightly awkward dialogues, but with caustic lines; explosive action scenes, but with weak staging and sound editing of the 'cgi' format. A cute Christmas atmosphere, but without soul. In fact, over three episodes, nothing happened that would deserve the attention of reviews or breakdowns.

We would recommend familiarizing yourself with the history, names, and comics about Ronin after each episode, otherwise you will feel confused, complicated, and 'not understanding anything'.

Despite the series being named after Barton, we spend most of the time with Kate Bishop. By the way, Hailee Steinfeld has perfectly integrated into the universe and has already become a fan favorite online.

Let's break down a bit what details you should pay attention to in this new project, what it all means, and what will happen to the universe after 'Hawkeye'.

What about the timeline?

Most likely, the events of 'Hawkeye' take place two years after the events of 'Endgame'. This means we are closing the gap in the time jumps of the MCU universe. Which is good in itself, but also leaves many plot holes.

Did you notice the logo?

The series became the first project where a new character was introduced in the intro, namely . This is good news – the universe is expanding.

'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' — a promising start for a new hero in the Marvel cinematic universe

'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' offers viewers the best fight choreography in the MCU, emotional conflict, Asian flavor, and a real Mandarin.

Open material

2012

The iconic moment of the attack on New York each time reveals more details about what was happening to other people in that city. Perhaps we will return to it in future projects?

'Thanos was right'

An interesting phrase immediately catches your attention. Precisely because we are shown two sides again – people on the planet are divided into two opposite camps. And now the whole world will face these consequences. We already saw some of them in 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'. It will be interesting to see what is revealed in the new 'Spider-Man', and then in future films of the universe.

Avengers' gadgets

After the destruction of Stark's home, some of his technology was looted, as were some of the heroes' items/artifacts. For example, we learn about mysterious watches that may refer us to Kang the Conqueror.

Black Widow's trick

Clint had a tactic, and he stuck to it. Namely, he repeated Black Widow's move to appear captured, extract all the information, and then free himself. It's interesting when 'easter eggs' become more than just ordinary references.

Jack 'Jack' Duquesne or Swordsman

A character you don't know about if you haven't read the comics. But who is important to know in the context of the story. For now, he is Eleanor Bishop's fiancé. But in fact, everyone already knows that he is one of the notable negative characters in the universe.

Dog Lucky

Pizza dog, again, familiar to comic book fans. Potentially, a future fan favorite in new projects and on merchandise.

Echo

The girl you've heard about because of the announcement of her solo project, but about whom, again, you don't know if you haven't read the comics. Maya Lopez is a kind of anti-hero who leads her own group. Their goal is revenge on Ronin. There are plenty of options to explore with this character, as she has an excellent backstory.

Humor

That side of Clint that we saw so little of in the movies. In fact, he is quite a joker in the source material. Especially in a pair with Kate Bishop.

Mysterious uncle

Here, TV series fans might have already guessed that we are most likely in for a meeting with Fisk. First, we are given hints that he adopted her, showing a hand, then a couple of details in the background with names from Fisk's comics. Moreover, who could be a bigger fish in this story if not Wilson Fisk? It is he who will become the main villain of the series. It's a pity that this secret wasn't kept until the end, because the studio has already mentioned several times that they are introducing the character.

What about the mother?

Kate Bishop's mother, according to theories, killed her husband for insurance money. Vera Farmiga is too 'big' of an actress choice to just take her for a cameo role. Perhaps there is much more behind her character.

Will Valentina appear?

The already familiar countess may also appear in this series. After all, from the movies we know that she gave the task to Yelena to track down Clint, who allegedly killed her sister. However, now a logical question arises: was the countess the one who ordered it? Maybe someone much more influential is behind her. Let's not forget that at the end of 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier', someone called her.

Who owns the Avengers Tower

Perhaps the question that now worries fans of the universe. We learn that Tony Stark sold the Tower. To whom? What if it ends up in the wrong hands? According to theories, the owner could be Reed Richards or Norman Osborn, or Wilson Fisk himself.

Phase 4

One of the main questions remains whether more groups and associations of different heroes will appear in this phase. Potentially, we are gradually being introduced to the Young Avengers, the Dark Avengers, and the West Coast Avengers. Which super-teams will the scattered heroes be united into? If you are not familiar with these names, we recommend googling them in advance.
