Hawkeye
Master archer Clint Barton is the only Avenger without superhuman powers — and often the emotional anchor of the team. His Endgame chapter as the vigilante Ronin and his mentorship of Kate Bishop close a full-circle arc.
Clint Barton is the Avenger most frequently dismissed and, as a result, the most interesting test of the franchise's capacity for ground-level storytelling. He has no powers, no armour, no serum — just a bow, arrows, and forty-odd years of field experience. Avengers: Age of Ultron gave him his domestic life (wife, children, a farm in the middle of nowhere) specifically to make the sacrifice of an ordinary person legible alongside the extraordinary ones. His grief-driven turn as the vigilante Ronin following the Blip is the franchise's darkest detour.
The Hawkeye Disney+ series (2021) reframes Clint's story through Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old who idolises him without knowing what he did as Ronin or what it cost him. The series is Christmas-set, deliberately lower-stakes than the Avengers films, and uses that tonal shift to examine what recovery looks like for a soldier who has been at war for twenty years. Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop is among the MCU's best new characters, and the mentor-student dynamic gives Clint a purpose that combat alone hasn't provided. Watch Avengers: Endgame before Hawkeye for full emotional context.

Five years after the snap, the surviving Avengers execute a time heist to undo it. Tony snaps Thanos away and dies. Steve stays in the past with Peggy — passing the shield to Sam. The MCU's defining film.
3h 2mAvengers: Endgame Encore
A theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame, timed just ahead of Doomsday. Every screening includes an exclusive look at Avengers: Doomsday, and IMAX and Disney's new Infinity Vision format add an extra sneak peek on top of it. The Russo brothers have called the new material a bridge into Doomsday, though Marvel has not said exactly what it shows. The story itself is unchanged: if you've already seen Endgame, you already know it.
3h 5m
Hawkeye (Season 1)
Kate Bishop becomes Hawkeye. Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) returns as the crime boss behind it all — directly setting up his Born Again arc as Mayor of New York.
