Arrow star Stephen Amell reacts to image of Marvel’s first glimpse of Hawkeye

Arrow star Stephen Amell took to Twitter to react to the first image of Marvel’s upcoming Hawkeye series featuring the bow and arrow thrower.

Stephen Amell, star of The CW’s Arrow, took to social media to react to Marvel’s first look at their next original series, Hawk Eye. Amell’s character in the superhero series, Oliver Queen / Green Arrow, is an archer just like Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton. Amell’s time as a DC superhero is over for now, with Arrow will debut its final episode on January 28, 2020. Hawk Eye will be Marvel’s next live-action original series, wrapping up a year that has seen the success of hits like WandaVision, Loki, and the Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Taking place after Avengers: Endgame, the Disney + show will follow Clint Barton and Kate Bishop as the former Avenger trains Bishop to become his successor. Hailee Steinfeld has been cast as Kate, with Vera Farmiga as her character’s mother. Florence Pugh will reprise her role as Black Widow. Pugh and Steinfeld are both set to continue the legacy of the old Avengers as the MCU dives into Phase 4 with a slew of new heroes. It comes after the deaths of Natasha Romanoff from Scarlett Johansson and Tony Stark from Robert Downey Jr, and the retirement of Steve Rogers from Chris Evans.

With the premiere of Hawk Eye On the horizon, Amell took to Twitter to react to the first look at the Marvel series. Amell retweeted Marvel’s announcement Hawk Eyethe release date of and the image of Kate and Clint. The image shows Renner and Steinfeld face to face, with Kate Bishop holding a bow in her left hand. Amell, who played an archer for nearly nine seasons, praised the appearance of another left-handed archer on screen. Check out his reaction below:

Hawkeye is actually right-handed in the comics, but Renner is left-handed and played the character of Clint as such. Amell’s joke sly shows his support for the upcoming show, and the actor may feel some kind of kinship with Renner and the role of Clinton Barton, as the two archers share a few similarities. Both actors have also been engaged in their roles for almost the same time, with Amell playing Green Arrow for eight years and Renner possibly withdrawing Hawkeye’s arc after a decade. Regardless of what awaits the Marvel Archer, fans have been flooding the comments section of Amell’s response with impatience for the next show, as well as questions about when Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop will meet.

With many of the original Avengers dead or gone in some other way, Marvel is making room for a whole new generation of superheroes to pick up the torch, and many have expressed support for the actors taking over. This real-life DC / Marvel crossover also to the multiverse and alternate timelines opening up in the MCU, which was originally introduced in Loki. It will also be the focal point of the next Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Hiddleston. More clues about the future of the MCU will almost certainly be revealed in Hawk Eye, making the upcoming series all the more eagerly awaited.
