Episodes of Marvel's HAWKEYE Series Will Be Helmed By TROOP ZERO and SNL Directors
Marvel has hired Troop Zero directors, Bert and Bertie a.k.a. Amber Finlayson (Bert) and Katie Ellwood (Bertie), and Saturday Night Live and Comrade Detective director Rhys Thomas, to helm some episodes of its upcoming Disney+ Hawkeye series.
Jeremy Renner is set to reprise his role as Clint Barton and Kate Bishop will also play a major role in the series. Bumblebee actress Hailee Steinfeld is wanted for the role of Bishop, but the deal on that has yet to close.
There are no details on the story that the series will tell, but we do know that Hawkeye will train Kate to become the badass warrior she was born to be. In the comics, Kate has a high level of skill in archery, sword fighting, and unarmed combat. Kate also possesses a significant stock of fighting weapons.
The series was set to be released in fall 2021 on Disney+ as part of Marvel’s Phase Four round of releases. All of the Marvel shows that are being produced will tie directly into the MCU movies, and they are being produced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Mad Men scribe Jonathan Igla is writing the series.
