UPDATE: The season finale ofHawkeye(Episode 6) revealed that Clint’s wife Laura Barton (played by Linda Cardellini) was Mockingbird, Agent 19.
It’s been a month sinceMarvel’s Agents of SHIELDaired its series finale on ABC. Fans everywhere were sad to see the fan-favorite show come to a dramatic conclusion. While the series did tie up some loose ends, people were wondering what happened to characters like Robbie Reyes (Ghost Rider), Deathlok, and most importantly Mockingbird aka Bobbi Morse.
Both critics and fans have criticized the series for not connecting to the larger MCU. Sure there were references to characters and movies like theThor: The Dark Worldepisode in season 1, to Jaime Alexander’s Sif making a few appearances, and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury showing up. Other than that around by season’s 6 and 7 the show just branched off into new territory.
Mockingbird in Hawkeye
We atFandomWirecan exclusively reveal that Mockingbird will play a role in the upcomingDisney+series,Hawkeye! Now before you celebrate, Adrianne Palicki will not be coming back to play the character. Kevin Feige and the company atMarvelStudios are looking to recast the role. While I’m extremely happy to see both Bobbi Morse and Clint Barton to finally interact with each other, it’s a bittersweet feeling to not see Palicki come back after she leftAgents of SHIELDaround season 3. Plans for a Mockingbird/Lance Hunter spin-off were in the works atABCbut unfortunately, the show could not find a pick-up release.
What This Means
This Mockingbird character that will appear in the upcomingHawkeyeseries, will most likely be different from the version seen onAgents of SHIELD. Kevin Feige has made it clear in the past that he doesn’t consider the television shows he had no oversight over to be apart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Due to Feige’s approach, it obviously makes sense that the studio is recasting.
For those who don’t know, Hawkeye and Mockingbird were the Green Arrow and Black Canary of the Marvel universe. These long time lovers were married but this is comics we’re talking about. Eventually, the two were divorced and they both went their separate ways. With theHawkeyeseries looking to take some major inspirations from the iconicMy Life As a Weaponcomic from David Aja and Matt Fraction, it’ll be interesting to see how much of a major role Mockingbird will play. Since Clint is already married and has children in the MCU, there’s no telling how that’ll play out.
Hailee Steinfeld willreportedlyplay Clint’s protégé, Kate Bishop. The upcoming show will have directors Amber Finlayson (Bert) and Katie Ellwood (Bertie). Rhys Thomas is also on board to direct a batch of episodes.Mad Menshowrunner and writer Jonathan Igla is penning the series.
