Hawkeye is the last of four planned live-action series set for Phase Four of the MCU after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (August 2020), WandaVision (December 2020) and Loki (spring 2021). Disney+ is also planning to release the animated series What If…? in the summer of 2021. Three additional series — Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight -are also in the works to tentatively debut after Hawkeye.

A New Hawkeye?
Clint will no longer be the only Hawkeye- he’ll be joined by Kate Bishop who’ll take over as the new Hawkeye after Clint retires, as hinted in Avengers: Endgame, to a quiet life on getting his family back.

Disney has reportedly already begun looking beyond Steinfeld for other actors for the role.
The possibility of Hawkeye being delayed to 2021 and Marvel’s confirmation of WandaVision‘s preponed release in 2020 has left Disney+ with only 2 confirmed shows. However, this delay in the former might play in favor of the wishes for many fans because it leaves the possibility of Steinfeld coming on board on being free.
Renner even posted the opening credits of the series on his Instagram account shortly after it debuted in Hall H at SDCC, thus strengthening expectations of Hawkeye gracing Disney+ next fall.
