The first two episodes of Hawkeye have been released, and Clint Barton's first solo outing in the MCU has already upraised a big question.

Episode 1 introduced Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Steinfeld, and saw her briefly wear the Ronin costume later she was involved in an explosion. It seems that decision is going to have a generous knock-on effect on the sleep of the series, though, as it draws the attention of a criminal group (dubbed the Tracksuit Mafia by Clint) – and puts Hawkeye and Kate in the crosshairs of a mysterious new character.

But who exactly is that new face at the end of episode 2? We explain all on a lower floor…

Hawkeye episode 2 ending

Clint gets himself deliberately captured by the Tracksuit Mafia to try and resolve the plac, since they've been departure after Kate low the mistaken premise she's really Ronin. The Cy Young archer, unfortunately, doesn't get the memo – and jumps into action to rescue Clint. That ends with both of them caught piece the tracksuits attend get their mysterious boss, who clearly wants something with Hawkeye.

As IT turns out, that shadowy figure is none other than Alaqua Cyclooxygenase's Echo, AKA Maya Lopez. At the moment, we don't make out what she wants with Hawkeye and Kate. The Avenger made a lot of enemies for himself in his time as Ronin, and it seems the tracksuits want revenge for whatsoever he did to them (but seem to think it was Kate all along).

In Marvel comics, Echo was the showtime person to don the Ronin identity – and was raised by Kingpin. Vincent D'Onofrio, who played the crime boss in the Hothead Netflix series, has already fueled guess via social media that he'll feature article in the series, so it's affirmable that Repeat's vendetta could tie in with a potential Kingpin appearance. Beaver State, Echo could be furious that someone stole her Ronin identity, if that's what went down.

"There wasn't a great deal shown of what happened during those years, true, when he embodied that character, which came from losing his family," Renner told GamesRadar+ of Clint's other equally Ronin. "A lot of this past catches up to him, [which] affects the storytelling of this… It's a trench rooted thing, and it's a very poignant thing, and a serious thing, and it's self-addressed in the show."

Echo is also collect to get her own spinoff serial after Hawkeye, aptly known as Repeat. Clearly, her storyline isn't going to be neatly committed in these six episodes.

Sequence 3 will likely shed more light on what Hawkeye has finished to upset Echo, but in the in the meantime, their connection remains a mystery.
