Hawkeye - Season 1 (2009)

Phase 1, Project 5

We see the life of Hawkeye, before he was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. We get a more action packed series with grounded themes. Use this to introduce more street level characters and emotional themes. Taking elements from the 2021 Hawkeye show and the comics would make a perfect match for a 6 episode mini-series. I'd have it be released all in one on Disney+ with 1 hour long episodes to flesh out themes and characters. Having the first MCU TV show be a story about the little guy gives viewers a breather from all the monsters, mech-suits, super soldiers and Norse gods. (Just pretend Disney+ existed back in 2009 for this to even work, an alternative would be Netflix).
