Reports Point to Kate Bishop–Led Hawkeye Season 2 as Clint Barton Send-Off

Overview

• Industry insider James Mack claims a second Hawkeye season would center on Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and serve as a definitive farewell for Clint Barton, possibly including the character’s death.
• Other insider reporting has disputed that a new season is in development, and Marvel Studios has not announced or commented on any plans.
• Jeremy Renner previously said Disney offered him half of his Hawkeye Season 1 pay to return, calling the offer an insult and suggesting his 2023 accident influenced the figure.
