THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, THE BEST GIFTS COME WITH A BOW.

Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) is about to spend Christmas with his family when his violent past catches up with him and he joins forces with a 22-year-old fan (Hailee Steinfeld) who becomes his protégée.

A miniseries that reintroduces us to Hawkeye after his painful experiences in Avengers: Endgame (2019), but it also follows Black Widow (2021).

Done with a light touch and an irresistible New York Yuletide feeling, the show has a very likable rapport between Renner and Steinfeld, as well as engaging action where Hawkeye’s ingenious, explosive arrows play a prominent part.
