Another Avengers character to get their own television series on Disney+ has reportedly been revealed.

The new streaming service is lining up a number of shows for several of its superhero characters and, according to Variety, the latest to be handed one is Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye.

Sources state that Disney is developing a limited series based on the archer, real name Clint Barton, and that Renner will star. It’s believed that the series will see him pass the torch to his Marvel successor Kate Bishop, a member of a group known as The Young Avengers.

Disney, Marvel and Renner’s representatives have declined to comment on the reports.

Other shows in the works include ones based on Loki, Falcon and Winter Soldier as well as Scarlet Witch and Vision.

The actors who portray these characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany – are all expected to appear.

Before that, though, there’s the small matter of Avengers: Endgame, which will be released in UK cinemas on 25 April.

You can find a countdown of every single film in the MCU – from worst to best – below.

Hawkeye made his Marvel debut in 2011 film Thor.
