Will Kate Bishop and Clint Barton reunite for another thrilling adventure? Rumors have been swirling about a potential second season of Hawkeye, but has Marvel Studios officially canceled the show or renewed it for Season 2? With Hailee Steinfeld’s performance leaving audiences wanting more, fans are eagerly awaiting news about the return of Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye.
Is Marvel’s Hawkeye canceled or renewed for Season 2?
There is no official confirmation if Hawkeye is canceled or renewed for Season 2. But, it is said to be in development.
In a Q&A session with The Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez, he said that reports are suggesting that a second season of Hawkeye is in development, with a particular emphasis on expanding the role of Kate Bishop, portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld. However, it’s important to note that being in development does not necessarily indicate that the project will move forward into production.
Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum revealed in March 2024 that the studio has recently adopted a more traditional approach. This means that they are developing a larger number of projects than they intend to produce. This strategy allows them to easily discard unsuitable ideas and maintain a diverse pool of potential projects. (via ComicBook)
Consequently, the fact that Hawkeye Season 2 is in development does not guarantee its production or release. It suggests initial story concepts are being explored for a potential second season. Now, whether Marvel makes an official announcement for Hawkeye Season 2 remains to be seen.
Will Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld return for Hawkeye Season 2?
At the time of writing, there is no official confirmation if Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld will return for Hawkeye Season 2.
In a recent interview with Wired, Jeremy Renner was asked about returning as Hawkeye. Expressing uncertainty, he said, “I dunno. Ask my legs, ask Marvel. Those will determine the ifs and whens of that will ever happen. I think there’s always an option. I think my body is not gonna be limited. It just comes down to sort of a reason why to come back as Hawkeye.”
While Renner expressed uncertainty about his return and stated that various factors, including his physical condition, will determine whether or not he’d be involved as Hawkeye in the future, it seems he still might come back if the conditions favor him.
Further, reports indicate that the second season is expected to expand on Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop. Additionally, as per a post on X (formerly Twitter) from industry scooper MyTimeToShineH, Clint Barton’s brother, Barney, will play a significant role in Season 2. Inspired by the action film The Raid, the season will reportedly feature Kate and Clint trapped in a single location. This suggests that, if renewed, Steinfeld perhaps can also make a return.
However, these seem to be just rumors and viewers must await official confirmation from the makers.
