The Hindu
Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld have a crackling chemistry, and the action sequences have the right amount of zip in this mini-series
Do they know it is Christmas? Disney sure does, but that is no reason to dislike Hawkeye, the mini-series following Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) after the horror, grief and loss of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Barton is in New York for the holidays with his children, Cooper (Ben Sakamoto), Lila (Ava Russo), and Nathaniel (Cade Woodward) when he runs into his biggest fan, Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld).

Kate lost her dad in the Battle of New York and in the mayhem, saw this lone superhero fighting off the Chitauri with a bow and arrow and was impressed. Now 22 years old, Kate idolises Hawkeye. While winning every archery and martial arts trophy, she is the despair of her mother, Eleanor (Vera Farmiga), for her habit of hurling herself into trouble, unmindful of the consequences.
