The live-action Disney+ series now has its first trailer, and it offers a distinctly holiday-themed sneak peek at the next adventure for one of Marvel’s Avengers.

Arriving just in time for the holiday season, Hawkeye finds Clint Barton (Renner) struggling to get home to his family for Christmas after criminal elements he made enemies of during “The Blip” — the five years between Thanos’ snap in Avengers: Infinity War that eliminated half of sentient life and the return of everyone who disappeared in Avengers: Endgame — track him down to exact revenge. Clint is joined by Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer who aspires to become a superhero like Hawkeye, and he must figure out a way to get home to his family with both his life and his festive spirit.

Captain America 4 director says it’s great to return to a ‘rage monster’ Hulk
Red Hulk roars in Captain America: Brave New World.

In Captain America: Brave New World, Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford) isn't just going to be electepresident of the United States -- he's also going to transform at one point in the film into a red-skinned Hulk. The character's angry transformation has been teased heavily in the early Captain America: Brave New World trailers, and for good reason. Not only have comic book fans been waiting years to see a version of the Red Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the character's climactic showdown with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) also looks like it is going to be Brave New World's biggest set piece.

In a recent interview with Empire, Brave New World director Julius Onah called Ford's performance in the film "mind-blowing." He added "All of us on set were like, ‘Holy f**king s**t, he nailed it.'" While Marvel has mined plenty of humor and drama out of Bruce Banner's (Mark Ruffalo) transformation into a smarter Hulk in Avengers: Endgame, Onah says it was fun for him to bring an angry, uncontrollable Hulk back to the MCU. "It’s really great to get back to a Hulk that is just f**king breaking s**t," the director confessed, calling Ford's Red Hulk "a rage monster.”

Denzel Washington apologizes to Black Panther 3 director for spilling Marvel secret
Denzel Washington sits down and stares.

Denzel Washington made waves in November when he revealed that he plans to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before he retires. While promoting Gladiator II on Australia’s Today show, the two-time Oscar winner surprised everyone by announcing, "[Black Panther director] Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther." The news understandably came as a shock to comic book fans, given that Marvel hasn't even announced Black Panther 3 yet, let alone whether Coogler will be returning to helm the project.

Now, it looks like Washington's comment may have come as a bit of a surprise to Coogler himself. During an appearance on the Variety Awards Circuit podcast, Washington revealed that he called the filmmaker recently to apologize for spilling the beans about his involvement in Black Panther 3. "I called him the other day. I forgot what it was about — no, I called him to apologize," Washington said. "I said, 'I'm sorry, man.' He's like, 'No, man, it's all good.'"
