The character Hawkeye received his own six-episode series in 2021. The show follows his attempt to return home to his family by Christmas, all while grappling with the consequences of his past as the vigilante Ronin. It also introduces new characters like Kate Bishop, Maya Lopez/Echo, and Jack Duquense/Swordsman, and brings back the villain Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. Although the show was popular, early ideas considered a much grimmer tone, focusing on Clint Barton’s emotional struggles as Ronin instead of the lighter, more festive Christmas story it ultimately became.

The highly anticipated God of War TV series, based on the popular video game created by Santa Monica Studio, is coming to Prime Video. Ryan Hurst will play Kratos, and Callum Vinson will play his son, Atreus.

Several recent action films have clearly taken inspiration from John Wick. 2017’s Atomic Blonde flipped the original concept with a female lead and was directed by one of John Wick’s producers.

In fact, Nobody even featured Bob Odenkirk, a familiar face from Breaking Bad.
