In just a few days, Americans will be celebrating Thanksgiving. The day before, Marvel fans will be celebrating the release of Hawkeye on Disney Plus. The show will follow the Marvel hero Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, in a Christmas season adventure that will see him take on a new apprentice as well as criminals. Hailee Steinfeld will play Kate Bishop, Hawkeye’s aforementioned apprentice. With its release just days away, a short featurette was released giving fans a preview of what to expect from the show. Please check it out below.

The short highlights the relationship between Clint and Kate as well as the off-screen friendship between Renner and Steinfeld. “Finding the banter between Clint and Kate came pretty naturally,” said Steinfeld. Footage is shown of the banter between the two archers and it seems to indicate that the show is going for a comedic tone, which is expected since the comic series it’s based on is pretty funny.

“The intersection of those two characters becomes really the base of what this show’s about,” said Renner, “I begrudgingly have her as a partner and then our friendship grows.” Behind the scenes footage shows that Renner and Steinfeld were having fun in between filming scenes. It looked like their friendship was growing offscreen as well. We’ll be able to see more from Clint and Kate when Hawkeye’s first two episodes premiere on Disney Plus November 24.
