Marvel Studios has debuted a new set of character posters forHawkeye, the upcoming series based on the popular comic book character, due out on Disney+ on November 24. The three new posters feature Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), his protege/superfan Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), and as an early Christmas present for us all,Lucky the Pizza Dog(Jolt the Golden Retriever).
Hawkeyeis the latest Disney+ original series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, followingWandaVision,The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,Loki, andWhat If…?Renner’s version of the character debuted with a cameo in 2011’sThor, and remains the only member of the original Avengers to have not gotten a solo movie of his own.
But the Oscar-nominated startold Collider in a recent interviewthat a limited series is “exactly where [the character] needs to live.” In Renner’s words:
“We can spend a little bit longer in the longer form storytelling of at all, to have a greater understanding of Clint Barton, and why is what he is and who he is and where he comes from, and that type of thing. I was very excited to explore Clint Barton in a six-episode thing.”

The purple-hued new posters also tease the holiday spirit that is so central to the show, as the trailers have shown. Set during Christmastime, the series is heavily inspired byMatt FractionandDavid Aja’s popular comics run. The trailers have teased an odd-couple dynamic that combines the lightheartedness that is typical for Marvel, along with some serious drama. The show will also explore Clint’s stint as the emotionally damaged Ronin, according to co-director (and one half of theBert & Bertieduo)Amber Templemore-Finlayson. She toldTotal Filmin a recent interview that Renner insisted on exploring the character’s “darkness”:
“He wanted to go there. And there are moments that the Ronin Clint resurfaces. It’s very important to have those depths that you can explore, so that he can come out of it."
The show also featuresVera Farmigaas Kate’s mother Eleanor,Fra Feeas the villain Kazi,Tony Daltonas Jack Duquesne,Alaqua Coxas Maya Lopez/Echo, andZahn McClarnonas Lopez’s father William. Returning MCU players includeLinda Cardellinias Clint’s wife Laura andFlorence Pughas Yelena Belova.
