9 MCU Characters Who Deserved More Screen Time
4. Hawkeye
Of all the characters here, Hawkeye arguably got the most screen time anyway. Still, as one of the OG Avengers, it feels like he got a rough deal.
Of the original six, he's the only one not to get a solo movie, although Black Widow's is a prequel taking place before the Infinity Saga and releasing after it. Yes, Hawkeye is getting his own TV series, but that is largely expected to be him handing the reins over to Kate Bishop, before shuffling out of the MCU for good.
His introduction in Thor was low key, though that was understandable given they were just beginning to flesh out the universe. The first Avengers film saw him already minimised with brain washing taking him out of some major moments, though it felt like he was realistic yet useful in the Battle for New York.
Avengers: Age Of Ultron fleshed him out considerably, but in Captain America: Civil War he was back to his minor role, then was absent completely from Infinity War.
Endgame did offer him more of a starring role, but that swansong only served to remind us what we'd been missing.
