It was touch and go with
Hawkeye
a year ago when it came into question
whether Hailee Steinfeld would be joining
the cast as Kate Bishop. That was thankfully put to rest almost immediately when
the series began production in December

Steinfeld was seen on set with Jeremy Renner

Aside from a short holiday break in January, the cast and crew for the series have been filming non-stop.
Directing duo Bert and Bertie
even joked about the
prolonged production of
Hawkeye

Coupled with the Ferris wheel that was actually posted last week as part of location scouting, it is apparent that at least part of
Hawkeye
will take place in a circus or carnival.
One user on Instagram asked both directors if they’re still filming in Atlanta, Georgia, with Bert responding with
“hell yeah. Till end April,”
which is presumably when
Hawkeye
will complete filming.
EXPLORING BARTON’S TIME AS CARNIE?
Marvel
It hasn’t been hinted at in the films, but in the comics, Clint Barton worked in the circus for quite some time alongside his brother, starting as children when they ran away from foster care. The circus was where Barton learned to be so good with a bow and arrow, as he became a protégé of Jacques Duquesne, a.k.a. The Swordsman.

In early December,
Tony Dalton was announced to be playing Duquesne
in the series, which points to Hawkeye’s backstory being explored. Although Renner is actually four years older than Dalton, it’ll be interesting how they’ll portray their relationship in the show. If Barton joined the circus as a child, then Duquesne would have been a child, too, unless the show plans to portray Duquesne far older than his actor.
Another possibility is that this
could involve Fra Fee’s Clown
, who was also part of a circus as a child until the entire troop, aside from himself, was tragically killed. This led to his career as a hitman for hire by the mob.
Hawkeye
will release on Disney+
in late 2021
