AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors Tease Hawkeye's Role
Avengers: Infinity War has promoted countless superheroes in its marketing campaign, but one character noticeably absent has been Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye. He wasn’t in the trailer, he hasn’t gotten any promo art (yet), and he doesn’t even have his own Twitter emoji. This led fans to speculate on why he hasn’t been marketed. Now, we have an answer. ComicBook visited the set of Infinity War last year, and the site spoke with directors Joe and Anthony Russo on what to expect. Talk turned to Hawkeye’s role. Basically, it sounds like Clint Barton will have his own journey in the film, rather than be involved with the rest of the ensemble…

Ranking the Marvel Netflix Shows So Far
To date, Marvel has launched five original shows on Netflix, all of which have been renewed for multiple seasons. The shows explore a more grounded corner in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, depicting more mature stories and more realistic heroes. Many of the shows have been critically acclaimed, while some have had more lukewarm reception. With Jessica Jones recently premiering its second season, we rank all of the Marvel Netflix seasons so far… #8: Iron Fist Season 1 I’m sure we can all agree on this one. Iron Fist is without a doubt Marvel’s first Netflix misfire. While not completely terrible (for the most part), the season just feels very generic…

TITANS TV Series May Feature Jason Todd
DC’s Titans series will feature several fan-favorite characters, from the core Titans members to the Doom Patrol. Rumored characters also include Ra’s al Ghul and Bruce Wayne. Now, the latest report may reveal the inclusion of a key Batman supporting character. TitansTV has shared an alleged list of the first seven episode titles for Titans, and episode 7 is titled “Jason Todd.” If true, of course, this signifies the debut of Jason Todd himself. In the comics, Jason was the second Robin before being killed by Joker. He was later resurrected as the villain-turned-antihero called Red Hood. It’s unclear how much of that will be incorporated into Titans, while casting for Todd is…
