The latest MCU Disney+ TV show is a Christmas murder mystery, complete with plenty of comic book nods and shout-outs.
There has been a lot of Marvel content to consume this year already, and we’re not through the superheroic woods yet. The final Disney+ MCU TV show of 2021 has arrived with the first two episodes of Hawkeye premiering on the streaming platform. This time around we’re not dealing with temporal crimes or international terrorist groups, but a holiday-themed murder mystery surrounding Clint Barton and the newly introduced Kate Bishop, a Hawkeye super-fan and heiress.
But the murder itself isn’t the only major issue Clint and Kate are up against. There’s also the Tracksuit Mafia, Clint’s torrid past as an international killing machine, and the general stress of the holiday season to contend with–all of which would probably be a bit easier to stomach if Kate weren’t completely intent on helping her superhero idol at every chance.
Naturally, there’s a lot going on with this two episode premiere, so we’ve taken a deeper look at the first two episodes and uncovered some of the biggest nods, references, and Easter Eggs to Marvel Comics and the greater MCU as the mystery slowly begins to unfold.
Hawkeye is now streaming on Disney+ with new episodes arriving every Wednesday.
