Hawkeye Goes Out in Style

Published

on

The season finale of the far too short Hawkeye series still managed to go out with a bang in a way that will leave fans anxious for the next chapter of the MCU. Within the span of six episodes, the series managed to not only introduce us to new characters but drop some bombshells along the way.

Hawkeye might be the one show where what wasn’t shown on screen is just as important as what was shown. For instance, no one really knows the outcome of the Echo’s final confrontation with Kingpin. A single shot was fired but there was nobody shown. It would be a shame to re-introduce Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin and then kill him off so quickly. I’m betting he will show up in a much larger capacity in the Hawkeye spinoff series Echo coming next year.

Then there’s the case of the watch. The McGuffin was talked about on and off again throughout the series although there never seemed to be any real urgency behind it. It turns out it was just to reveal that Hawkeye’s wife is most likely the hero known as Mockingbird. This is a nice little twist to Clint’s past and ties up well with the comics though in the grand scheme of things it probably wasn’t necessary. Three’s a chance it will be used in the future but since the show feels like Jeremy Renner’s way of retiring the character that’s unlikely,

If we’re being honest the best parts of the show were in its little moments. Literally, any interaction between Kate (Hailee Steinfeld) and Yelena (Florence Pugh) was magic. They desperately need to find a way to team up either in a movie or a TV show. If Marvel was smart they would take advantage of the Young Avengers team they seem to be setting up and let the two-run wild in a TV show. Their chemistry is through the roof.

Vincent D’Onforio’s return as Kingpin (the same week as Charlie Cox’s return as Matt Murdock) was enough to add a ton of weight to the show (no pun intended). Kingpin is a major heavy hitter and watching Kate go head-to-head with him proved she’s no amateur.

If anything, Hawkeye is a transitionary show. It will work as a launching point for future franchises within the MCU both immediate and long term. If this is, as many suspect, the swan song of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye then it was a great way to go.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
