Hawkeye, the newest Disney+ show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe premiered today with the first two episodes. One of the things that makes this show recognizable in MCU is that it’s the first MCU project set during Christmas time after Iron Man 3. Although Iron Man 3 wasn’t fully about Christmas (and it was released in the middle of the summer), while Hawkeye is all about Yuletide Cheer.

Now, in an interview with Collider, Kevin Feige reveals that he loves mixing MCU with Christmas, and Hawkeye seems like a perfect show to go into a full Christmas mode.

“This is fun because it is a Christmas story that is taking place during the holidays. It also is based on early discussions about a limited time period and about setting a series in not quite real time, but essentially in a six-day period. With six episodes and six days, will Clint make it home for Christmas? That was fun and a breath of fresh air, after world ending stakes and celestials bursting out of planets and multiverse shenanigans. Like Hawkeye himself, this is a grounded, family-based show.”

“I’ve always loved films or shows or specials that take place over the holiday season. There’s a heightened amount of emotion and a heightened amount of conflict and tension that can occur in this glorious season. I have always, honestly, been looking for opportunities.”

Kevin Feige for Collider

Last December Marvel announced the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special which is set to debut on Disney+, and that’s showing how much Feige loves the concept of Christmas in his movies. After all, that Holiday Special will show us how is Christmas celebrated in the other parts of the galaxy.

The first two episodes of Hawkeye are now available on Disney+. The series will consist of six episodes.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
