Marvel Studios started the era of MCU TV series in 2021. They released 4 TV series that year and let fans know that Marvel was on its way to ruling the streaming world too. Among these series, only ‘Loki’ got a season 2. But it is now reported that 2021’s ‘Hawkeye‘ is also renewed for season 2.
The first season of ‘Hawkeye’ features Jeremy Renner’s Bart Clinton fighting his old demons when he was cleansing the city as Ronin. It also introduced his apprentice Kate Bishop to the MCU.

Who Is Barny Barton, Hawkeye’s Elder Brother And Antagonist?
Barney Barton was introduced to the Marvel Universe with ‘Avengers #64‘. Both brothers used to work at Carson Carnival of Travelling Wonder as roustabout after losing their parents. However, Barney wanted to do something big and asked Clint from Carson Carnival of Travelling Wonder.
Clint didn’t show up at the bus station and Barney left his old life behind. He later joins the FBI. During an undercover assignment, he got severely injured and was presumed dead by his younger brother. However, HYDRA took the body and manipulated him to turn on Clint.
Trickshot, who taught Clint Barton to use bow and arrow, trained Barney to take on Hawkeye. He later on also joined Norman Osborn-led Dark Avengers. Years after fighting each other, both brothers reconciled.
His addition to MCU will be very interesting to see. Since season 2, reportedly, will primarily focus on Barney, Marvel can explore his origin story with a new take. He can be a good transitional villain for Kate and Clint and can turn good later. Fans have to wait for more details.
