Known as an interview ninja, seamlessly dodging spoiler filled answers like he’s Neo in the Matrix, he has been somewhat more open lately.

But, during the time of the Blip, Barton went down a dark path and became Ronin, a murderous assassin who looked to eliminate the criminal element permanently.

And with good reason.  This film, which is arguably the most anticipated film of all time,…

This movie will focus on a world moving forward from the original Avengers, specifically Captain America. In the first Hawkeye teaser, we saw ‘Rogers: The Musical’, a Broadway musical dedicated to Steve Rogers (and also a bit of a nod to the tragic,…
