Mumbai, Nov 25 (TIWN) Marvel Studios' has landed the arrow right on target with 'Hawkeye'. The miniseries that premiered on Disney+ Hotstar Wednesday, follows the story of Clint Barton as he teams up with his greatest fan and protege, Kate Bishop, to tackle the outlaws in the post-Blip New York City.

The series which follows the events after the 'Avengers: Endgame', borrows heavily from Matt Fraction and David Aja's comic run 'Hawkeye'.  The starcast and creators of the series recently shared their experiences from the shoot and their choices with regards to their characters and the show. Jeremy Renner, who reprises the titular role, praised his co-star Hailee Steinfeld in the series and was impressed by her preparedness.  He said, "She came in very, very prepared, she was ready. While it's pretty awesome. (Though) It's pretty sad that it makes me feel old that I see a lot of people come in and see a lot of people go (in the Marvel Cinematic Universe), I'm, like, a grandpa (laughs)".  For Hailee, who plays Kate Bishop, the series is very special as it allowed her to be a part of the MCU.

Responding to what drew her to this character, the actress said, "I really did feel like playing this character, it sort of forced me to find a confidence, a determination and discipline that has always been inside me, but I really had to really bring it out of myself for this and do justice to this character. I feel so lucky to be playing a character that is loved by so many."  The show's narrative revolves around the holiday time, when probed about the reason behind such a creative choice, director Rhys Thomas said, "A character like Clint just trying to live his life and the trouble is coming to find him. It's a trope I think. Setting it at Christmas time allows that clash of family time with business time, it's a classic combo."
