MCU Phase 5: 12 CONFIRMED Movies & Release Predictions For 2022-23

3. Hawkeye & The Young Avengers [Disney+]

Status: Predicted

No, not that Hawkeye.

With Disney+'s Hawkeye "event show" bringing Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton back to the MCU and a vague suggestion that he might also be in Black Widow thanks to all the Budapest talk, fans of the MCU's archer still have things to look forward to. And that's not to mention him appearing in What If...? as well. But it's fair to say that Phase 4 will probably close out Clint's story.

That doesn't mean it has to close down the Hawkeye brand though, since the Disney+ show is set to feature him mentoring Kate Bishop as a legacy character. And if that is the case, having her story begin and end in the same limited run of episodes makes no sense.

We've already been told to expect a Young Avengers project of some description and Kate Bishop and Cassie Lang being around already would suggest we have two pillars to lean on as a starting point. And what price on Marvel using Disney+ as a means to unveil a secondary Avengers brand to keep the name alive while it's on ice in the movies?
