It seems the final version of Marvel’s Hawkeye Disney+ series is quite different from what was first conceived in the early drafts. For starters, the music score was meant to be ”darker” in tone prior to the addition of holiday themes being added to the script.
According to a recent interview with BTL News, the series composers Christophe Beck and Michael Paraskevas revealed that the series originally was way darker than what we got:
At first, it was going to be a darker tone, focused on Hawkeye, his despair around the events of The Avengers, and the dark things he went through in his past. But the show, the story, and therefore the score evolved into something much more playful, especially between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld. And the idea that this would be a ‘Christmas in New York’ sort of thing, we took.

Taking place one year after the events of Avengers: Endgame, Hawkeye saw Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) partnering up with his eventual protégée Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) to fight against enemies Barton made during his time as Ronin. While the MCU often toes the line between humor and darker undertones, Hawkeye is one of Marvel’s more light-hearted shows, focusing primarily on the slightly begrudging hero-mentee relationship that develops between Barton and Bishop. With Clint’s primary goal of getting home to his family in time for Christmas, Hawkeye is an undoubtedly festive Marvel tale.
Despite the changes, Hawkeye is still a bullseye among viewers and proves that Marvel can make effective adaptions of comic storylines.
