Marvel Studios has found multiple directors to tackle the Disney+ Hawkeye TV series. Jeremy Renner joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2011 and played Clint Barton as he became one of the original six members of the Avengers. Despite appearing in five MCU movies in total, the upcoming Disney+ show will be the first time that Hawkeye gets a story of his own. Hawkeye won't just focus on Clint's life after Avengers: Endgame, though, as Kate Bishop will also make her MCU debut.
The Hawkeye series was officially announced by Marvel Studios at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, and Mad Men's Jonathan Igla joined the series as the showrunner a few months later. One of the more recent updates on the status of the show saw Marvel hire two new writers to help work on the scripts. This was done just before Marvel Studios had to shut down all of their productions due to coronavirus, and there hasn't been any word on when Hawkeye could now begin.
That said, some positive movement on Hawkeye has finally happened. Marvel has hired multiple directors to work on various episodes of the series. Amber Finlayson and Katie Ellwood, a directing duo who go by Bert and Bernie, will direct "a block of episodes," as will Rhys Thomas. Finlayson and Ellwood most recently directed the Amazon comedy Troop Zero, while Thomas comes from Saturday Night Live and just helmed John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch for Netflix.
