This year will see the debut of Hawkeye on Disney+ -- and the latest Saturday Night Live sketch had a biting summary for the upcoming series.SNL's latest sketch featured cast member Keenan Thompson and special guest Keegan Michael-Key throwing Statler and Waldorf out of their usual balcony, after opening with a fake Disney+ ad. The ad mentioned fellow Marvel shows like WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier before mentioning the "upcoming Hawkeye and His Boring Ass Family."
The jab is pointed at Hawkeye's wife Laura and his children, who are slated to appear in the series in some capacity. Hawkeye's family first appeared in Avengers: Age of Ultron and was erased from existence in Avengers: Endgame. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his family's disappearance led Clint Barton to become Ronin -- a time that the show is hinted to revisit.
The upcoming Disney+ series will focus on Clint Barton training Kate Bishop to take over the Hawkeye mantle. The series will also feature Florence Pugh reprising her role as Yelena Belova and the MCU debut of Echo -- who is rumored to headline a series of her own. Although the filming of Hawkeye wrapped in April, the series has yet to receive a release date.
Hawkeye stars Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton, Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Jolt as Pizza Dog/Lucky, Vera Farmiga as Eleanor Bishop, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Fra Fee as Kazi, Tony Dalton as Jack Duquesne/Swordsman, Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez/Echo and Zahn McClarnon as William Lopez. The Disney+ series has yet to receive a premiere date.
