With anticipation building for Marvel Studios<\/strong>‘ upcoming series Hawkeye<\/strong><\/em>, we have now learned who the primary directors of the series will be. It has been reported <\/a>that directing duo Bert<\/strong> and Bertie <\/strong>will be helming a handful of episodes for the Disney+<\/strong> streaming series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The directors are best known for their first feature-length film Troop Zero<\/strong><\/em>,<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong><\/em>which premiered on Amazon Prime Video in February. The film was a lighthearted comedy with some drama woven in. Bert and Bertie will direct a handful of episodes, while director Rhys Thomas<\/strong> will direct the the rest. Thomas is best known for Documentary Now<\/em>! <\/strong>and John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch<\/em><\/strong>. Writer Jonathan Igla<\/strong> will pen the script for the series; he’s best known for Mad Men<\/em><\/strong>, Pitch<\/em> <\/strong>and Sorry For Your Loss<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With such comedic backgrounds, it can be assumed that the Hawkeye <\/em>series will most likely have a similar, lighthearted and comedic tone. When the series was first announced last year, many theorized that it could be a dark and brooding look at how Clint Barton\/Hawkeye<\/strong> (played by Jeremy Renner<\/strong>) became the Ronin<\/strong> character we know from Avengers: Endgame<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series is now confirmed to focus around Clint’s daughter, Kate Bishop,<\/strong> and how she will take on the role after her father steps away. This may also be our first introduction into a New Avengers<\/em><\/strong> storyline that could begin to build throughout Disney+ series and eventually make its way to the big screen. Actress Hailey Steinfeld <\/strong>has been attached to the role of Kate Bishop but has been very quiet about her overall involvement in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
