The first Hawkeye show trailer just dropped, and our bows are stocked with questions. The series, which stars Jeremy Renner equally Clint Barton and Hailee Steinfeld every bit Kate Bishop, looks to be Renner's last ride as an active superhero. In fact, it starts off with him being ane step abroad from saying he'southward 'too old for this.'

The neat news is that the trailer, for the upcoming Disney Plus show, gives us a bit of preview of the barrack betwixt Renner and Bishop. Plus, it's winter, which gives the show a vacation theme to run with. But for everything this prune provides, nosotros're left request questions.

Here are the v things we need to know about the Eagle testify on Disney Plus.

Plus: The Hawkeye trailer does nil for me — here's why

1. Is Clint Barton coming home for Christmas?

The respond is probably yes, but the trailer starts off with Clint leaving his family as he is concerned nigh a new Hawkeye/Ronin who is making headlines. Yes, this appears to be taking place post-Endgame, and Barton's (about) freed from his duties every bit an Avenger.

But now that nosotros see he's getting back into the action, we're worried for his family (again). Yes, the Bartons have a history of attracting trouble, and since Yelena Belova is however in play, nosotros're non certain how well this show volition get for the family.

ii. How did this Kate Bishop become so practiced?

There have been a couple of instances of Kate Bishop (that new Hawkeye) we've seen in the comics. At first, in the Immature Avengers and Eagle, nosotros met her as the original Eagle had died.

So, in the iconic Hawkeye run from Matt Fraction and David Aja, nosotros find her and Eagle running together, with the latter mentoring the former to replace him. That seems to be how this run will go, but when we meet Bishop this time, she's already thinking of herself every bit "the world'south greatest archer."

So, how did she luck into that skillset?

3. Is this Die Hard with bows and arrows?

The Christmastime await, and plenty of explosions, has us thinking Hawkeye volition bring back that eternal contend of "Is Die Hard a Christmas motion picture?" Earlier this trailer hit, we didn't call up of Hawkeye as a 'Christmas show' simply its timing on the calendar (debuting Thanksgiving week) certain fits the idea.

That said, we're curious how the time of the year will fit into the story of Barton and Bishop. It makes some sense, because of handing downwardly the bow and arrow as a present of sorts, but how much volition Hawkeye lean into its slot on the calendar?

four. Why is Eagle wearing a hearing aide?

Tom's Guide editor Tom Pritchard pointed this out in our Slack: Jeremy Renner's wearing a hearing aide in the Hawkeye trailer. We don't recollect that from the MCU, so clearly we're going to get more than inspiration from the Hawkeye comics than just the Fraction/Aja run's story about handing down the bow and arrow and fighting street criminal offence.

The story of Hawkeye'due south hearing aide dates dorsum to the comics, when Hawkeye was stabbed in his ears with arrows by the villainous Clown. This makes some sense, as nosotros already know the Clown volition be in the series — but will we see this despicable and violent act?

Barton even learns sign linguistic communication later this happens. Volition the Disney Plus series retread this story?

5. Where are all the villains?

We see a lot of shadowy (could this trailer be whatsoever darker?) baddies, merely the trailer gives the states little in terms of who Barton and Bishop volition be fighting.

Good thing nosotros already kjnow that The Clown (played by actor Fra Freed) aka Kazi aka Kazimierz Kazimierczak is going to be hunting Barton in the prove. We also expect comic book baddies the Tracksuit Dracula mafia to announced.

But how will they exist depicted? How much darker will this show get?

Eagle debuts on Disney Plus on Nov. 24, 2021.
