10 Major New MCU Phase 4 Rumours You Need To Know

Hawkeye was rumoured to be in trouble not too long ago as reports surfaced claiming Marvel Studios had delayed the Disney+ series "indefinitely." Well, that's since been dismissed as being incorrect and the plan is for the spinoff to start shooting in the not too distant future. Unfortunately, that could mean Hailee Steinfeld will have to pass on playing Kate Bishop due to her Apple TV commitments.

On the plus side, MCU Cosmic has dropped some intel on the show's villains and Clint Barton and his protégé will definitely have their hands full. For starters, Barney Baron, a.k.a. Trickshot will play a role in proceedings as a rival archer. In the comics, he actually posed as Hawkeye as part of the villainous Dark Avengers and likely won't be happy with his brother passing the "Hawkeye" mantle to a young girl.

The Tracksuit Mafia/Tracksuit Draculas will also appear and comic book fans will remember them well from Matt Fraction's popular run. A group of local gangsters with a habit of saying "Bro," they were a thorn in the side of both Clint and Kate. Don't be surprised if they come after the Avenger due to his actions as Ronin because he's bound to have made a long list of enemies after doing a Punisher and killing criminals across the globe.
