Hawkeye will premiere on Nov. 24 on Disney+ and Marvel Studios is counting down the seconds.
The official Marvel Studios website added a countdown clock to its webpage for Hawkeye, the next live-action streaming series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though it has a few months to go, the clock is counting down to the fall premiere date for the pilot episode of the streaming series. Once the first season of What If...? concludes with its ninth and final episode on Oct. 6, Hawkeye will be the next MCU project on the Disney+ lineup.
Marvel recently announced the November release date with a photo of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop's first meeting, but the countdown is already set. The series will run between the releases of upcoming MCU films The Eternals (arriving Nov. 5) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (arriving Dec. 17). Though Marvel has yet to confirm an official episode count for Hawkeye, the series is expected to run between six and eight episodes, much like similar Marvel Disney+ projects The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and Loki.
Hawkeye will unite silver screen Avenger Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and MCU newcomer Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) and will introduce an onscreen version of Echo (Alaqua Cox), a Deaf Native American heroine who can mimic the movements of others. The countdown webpage also confirms the cast will include Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon and Brian d'Arcy James.
Though the countdown webpage provides little information on the series' plot, Hawkeye is expected to adapt Matt Fraction and David Aja's comic run, which saw Barton and Bishop teaming up to fight a group known as the "Tracksuit Draculas." In a recent interview, Renner confirmed that the the mentor-mentee relationship between Barton and Bishop will be central to the story.
In addition to Renner's return to the MCU, the series is confirmed to feature Florence Pugh as Black Widow's Yelena Belova. Rumors have also indicated Vincent D'Onofrio will make an appearance as Wilson Fisk, The Kingpin from Netflix's Daredevil series, though this has not been confirmed.
