As you know there has been Barside Buzz that Hawkeye is getting a Season 2, now we hear it will be set at Christmas and a big name is wanted to play Clint’s brother. You can check our related section below for the previous rumors. However, since then a few other insiders have come out to back up claims Hawkeye Season 2 is moving ahead. The previous report did say that Clint’s brother Barney would make his MCU debut in Season 2.
Now insider MTTSH claims that Marvel are looking for a big name to come in and play Barney Barton. In the comics, Barney was the older brother. However, there’s no solid reason why that has to be the case in the MCU. It’s also worth noting that Barney is often an antagonist to Clint in the comics and goes by the name Trickshot. Though, as we know the MCU doe snot always follow the omics that closely.

MTTSH also says in her recent subscribers only post that Season 2 will once again be set at Christmas time. It worked well for Season 1, so makes sense to me. Perhaps we could get this for Christmas 2025 in Disney+?
I would definitely not expect to see Wilson Fisk involved this time, or even Maya. That story went off into Echo after all. However, I do hope we get to see more of Tony Dalton in Season 2. One assumes Eleanor Bishop is now in jail, so perhaps Jack is keeping an eye on Kate? I don’t really care, I just think the character needs to be used more as I love Dalton as an actor.
Hawkeye was, okay as a Marvel series. I definitely enjoyed it more than most MCU shows so far, though, it was not as good as Loki Season 1 and 2 for me. I do think Hawkeye deserves a Season 2 though so I’ll be happy if this is all true.
What do you think of this latest Barside Buzz that Hawkeye Season 2 will be set at Christmas and a big name is wanted to play Clint’s brother? Who would you like to see as an older or younger sibling to Clint? Thoughts below as always.
