Hawkeye: 8 Big Questions Raised By Episodes 1 & 2
8. Who Bought Avengers Tower?
This has been a question that has been hanging over the MCU ever since Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. The Vulture's entire plan centered around a heist on Tony Stark as he vacated Avengers Tower after he sold the building. However, it was never revealed who he actually sold it to.
Something as vague as this is always prone to fan theories, and many believed it would soon house the Fantastic Four as the Baxter Building, but nothing has come of it so far in the franchise.
In the second episode of Hawkeye, Kate asked Clint if he was going to take her to Avengers Tower, and was devastated to learn that it had been sold. Naturally, this reignited interest and theories in who now resides there, particularly as in the MCU timeline we are now roughly eight years removed from the events of Spider-Man: Homecoming.
This line actually added relatively little to the episode, it didn't have to be there at all, so why was it? Was this foreshadowing an answer to the years old question finally coming? Or was it just to drive home that little bit more that Kate is something of a superhero superfan?
