Phase 4 of the MCU is well underway now after many rearranged release schedules in the past year. Two films, “Black Widow” and “Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings,” have hit theaters, and four shows in total have premiered on Disney+, “Loki” and “WandaVision” among them.

So, what’s next from the MCU? Marvel fans already anticipate Chloe Zhao‘s “Eternals” coming to theaters on November 5. On the streaming front, though, the next all-new series to hit Disney+ is “Hawkeye.” The six-episode limited series sees Jeremy Renner‘s Clint Barton pass his mantle to Kate Bishop, his young female protege played by Hailee Steinfeld.

Alongside Renner and Steinfeld, the cast of “Hawkeye” also includes Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, and Brian d’Arcy James. Ben Sakamoto, Ava Russo, and Cade Woodward also reprise their roles as Barton’s children from previous MCU films.
There are other Marvel faces that cameo in the show, too; some old, some new. For example, Florence Pugh shows up as Yalena Belova/Black Widow, fresh off her MCU debut in “Black Widow.” Alaqua Cox plays Maya Lopez/Echo, a Native American Marvel hero who can expertly mimic other people’s movements (and reportedly has a spin-off show in early development). Finally, Lucky the Pizza Dog, Hawkeye’s dog from the comics, makes his live-action debut.

Rhys Thomas, who directs the TBS show “Chad,” splits directing duties with the team of Bert and Bertie, best known for their 2019 film “Troop Zero.”
