A-List Star Might Join MCU as Hawkeye’s Brother, Trickshot in Season 2 and Beyond According to Rumors

Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye is a fan-favorite character in the MCU. His last live-action role was in the Hawkeye series, though he technically lent his voice to the What If…? Season 2 episode, ‘What If…Happy Hogan Saved Christmas.’

Disney+ shows don’t often get second seasons, except for ‘Loki,’ which had an even better second season. But a few months ago we reported that MCU might be breaking this trend since it’s been heavily rumored that ‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 is in development!

Bear in mind that no official confirmation for the show exists, but thanks to the industry insider we know a thing or two about the plot.

Kate Bishop is set to play a much larger role in Season 2, as she has officially taken up the Hawkeye mantle. Additionally, the show is expected to maintain its winter setting.

According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios has reportedly offered an A-list actor the role of Clint Barton’s brother, also known as Trickshot. The character will make his debut in ‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 and is set to appear in multiple MCU projects.

Trickshot, also known as Charles Bernard “Barney” Barton, is Hawkeye’s older brother in Marvel Comics. He shares Clint’s exceptional archery skills but often ends up on the wrong side of the law. Barney has a complicated relationship with Clint, switching between being an ally and an enemy. As Trickshot, he works as a villain at times but has moments of redemption, making him an interesting and unpredictable character and we can’t wait to see how his character will be incorporated into the MCU.
