According to ComicBook.com, Disney + has signed another actor in the long-awaited “Hawk Hawk” series: Simon Callow.

Reports say the actor, known for his work on the acclaimed period drama “Outlander,” will play “a key role early in production,” but details about the character have not been revealed. It is believed, however, that he will be linked to the character of Jack Duquesne, former mentor of Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) turned villainous Swordsman (Tony Dalton). Duquesne is one of the killer characters that Marvel has previously announced for the series, which corroborates the rumors.

The plot of ‘Gavião Arqueiro’ will take place in 2025, two years after Thanos (Josh Brolin) was defeated in ‘Avengers: Ultimatum’.

In addition to Renner in the lead role, Hailee Steinfeld will bring Kate Bishop to life. Florence Pugh will reprise her role as Yelena Belova. Vera Farmiga (“Summon of Evil”) will take on the role of Eleanor Bishop.

Fra Fee will play a character named Kazi, likely a reference to Kazimierz Kazimierczak, better known as the Mercenary Evil Clown. Tony Dalton and Alaqua Cox complete the cast.

For those who don’t know, the series is based on the original comic book in which Clint Barton hands superheroic responsibility to the next Archer, Kate Bishop. The plot will focus on training Kate through her complete transformation into a heroine, allowing Barton to officially retire.
