Since last year, rumors of Barton’s villainous brother finally making his MCU debut in the long-awaited second season of ‘Hawkeye‘ have been circulating on social media. Fans have been wondering who will play the role of Marvel’s resident marksman’s brother.
According to new reports, Marvel has reportedly offered the character’s role to an A-list actor. This means Barney Barton will play a more pivotal role in the series. The news of Barney Barton entering the MCU already had sparked excitement among fans and he being played by A-lister will cherry on the cake.
Insider Reports Claim Marvel Has Already Made An Offer To The A-List Actor For Trickshot’s Role
Marvel Studios appears to be setting the stage for an emotionally charged second season of ‘Hawkeye.’ Now rumors suggest the addition of Clint Barton’s estranged brother, Barney Barton, aka Trickshot. According to insider Daniel Richtman, an A-list actor has reportedly been approached to bring Barney to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Barney Barton’s inclusion would be a significant development for ‘Hawkeye‘ fans. In the comics, Barney is both a mentor and a nemesis to Clint. Their troubled history is rooted in a shared childhood marked by abuse and survival. After teaching Clint how to fight and hone his archery skills, Barney’s life took a darker turn.
This gave birth to his Trickshot persona who embraced a criminal career unlike his hero brother. Season 2 of ‘Hawkeye‘ has not yet been officially announced. However, this rumor suggests that Marvel Studios is already mapping out a complex and compelling story. Additionally, Trickshot’s introduction hints at a deeper exploration of Clint Barton’s past.
‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 Will Take Inspiration From ‘The Raid’
Another intriguing rumor suggests that season 2 of ‘Hawkeye’ will take inspiration from ‘The Raid’, an acclaimed action film known for its confined setting and relentless pace. If true, viewers can expect high-stakes scenarios with a dramatic climax rather than a slow-paced show.

Moreover, this setup would not only provide a thrilling backdrop for Trickshot’s introduction but also highlight the chemistry and teamwork between Clint and Kate. As for the cast, Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld are expected to reprise their roles as Clint and Kate, though no official confirmation has been made.
Richtman’s report also hints that Barney’s debut in ‘Hawkeye‘ could be just the beginning. The character is expected to feature in multiple MCU projects, potentially aligning him with other villains or antiheroes. Now, the main question in everyone’s mind is, who could Marvel have in mind for Trickshot? Only time will tell.
