C'est bien qu'un Hawkeye estompé par d'autres super-héros plus puissants ou plus emblématiques ait une série dans laquelle on puisse le decouvrir un peu mieux.
Le tamdem fonctionne bien et le 3ème épisode pose les jalons pour la suite. J'ai bien aimé le clin d'œil humoristique au costume original d'œil de faucon. Pour le moment c'est bien rythmé pourvu que ça dure.
Le 3ème épisode était vraiment excellent avec de très bonnes scènes d'action et une antagoniste vraiment charismatique, à chaque fois je suis bluffé par la qualité des séries Marvel qui sont des mini films à part entière !
Futur 1000ème Happy Ghost de Phantom Manor ;-)
Voyage à Walt Disney World en solo prévu du 6 au 21 septembre 2022 !
Je place cette interview de Marc Shaiman et Scott Wittman sous balises spoiler pour le moment afin de ne pas gâcher la surprise de l'élément à ceux qui n'auraient pas encore commencé à regarder la série :

Pulling Back the Curtain on Rogers: The Musical in Hawkeye
Broadway is buzzing over Rogers: The Musical, with critics calling it “a soaring, smashing, flying, fighting, musical triumph.” Sadly, the “powerful” stage show that “captures the heart of a hero” exists only in the world of Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye, streaming on Disney+—so don’t bother lining up outside the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in the hopes of snagging tickets !
Since the series premiered on the streaming service November 24, we’ve been singing along to the show-stopping number “Save the City,” written by the award-winning duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (of Hairspray, Mary Poppins Returns, and Smash fame). Luckily, the longtime collaborators agreed to pull back the curtain to share insights into their songwriting process, their path to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and more.
D23 : Marc, is true that your involvement with Rogers: The Musical stemmed from a chance encounter with Kevin Feige, executive producer and Marvel Studios president ?
Marc Shaiman (MS) : Sort of. I think I might have put myself and Scott in his head. We were at an Academy Awards function when someone tapped me on my shoulder and said, ‘Kevin Feige would love to meet you.’ I was like, ‘Kevin Feige would like to meet me?’ Now, my husband is a complete and total Marvel nerd, so I knew who he was. So, I went over and said, ‘Hi! Nice to meet you.’ And he started reciting all my film scores; he’s a real film score aficionado. There he was, just going on and on! I said, ‘Wow! Thank you. My husband, Lou, would die to think he’s not here.’ So, we took a picture. Then it was two years almost to the day where our agent emailed and said, ‘Marvel wants you to write a Broadway musical number for the new Hawkeye series. You want to do it?’ I was like, ‘Yeah!’ That’s where Scott came in, and we listened to what they needed and wanted. We knew we had to walk this tightrope between it being an entertaining and hopefully good song. But it also had to be something that makes Clint [Jeremy Renner] kind of roll his eyes, because this musical of this huge event in his life is now being… I don’t want to say the word ‘reduced,’ but it’s—
Scott Wittman (SW): Broadway-ized !
MS : That’s also why they added Ant-Man into the number, to show that a Broadway musical—or any other kind of entertainment, really—might take some creative liberties.
D23 : Ant-Man is a founding Avenger in the comics. Is that why he was chosen?
MS : I think it was, I guess, a random choice—or just someone who didn’t belong there. Maybe it could have been someone more obscure, but Ant-Man was the perfect choice.
D23: Was it always the intention to write a song set during the Battle of New York, or had you considered other seminal MCU moments—like a battle with Thanos, perhaps? SW: Marvel wanted it to be very much that scenario, because that was such an emotional time for those characters, I think. That also added another layer for Clint [in the audience]. MS: And that bridge at Grand Central Station is such a perfect, iconic Broadway set!
D23: How did you manage to seamlessly incorporate so many iconic lines—like “Avengers, assemble,” “I could do this all day,” and “Hulk smash”—into the lyrics ?
MS : Well, like I said, my husband, Lou, he’s just a full-on nerd.
SW : Stan! He’s not a nerd. He’s a stan !
MS : I need a thesaurus for all these words! I mean, I knew about the Tesseract from having seen all the movies, but I’m sure I’d turned to Loui and asked, “It’s Tesseract, right? And it’s Chitauri?’ Shawarma got stuck in my head, because Iron Man is constantly talking about how he wanted to go to that Shawarma restaurant. It had to be all things that the real people who live in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might have heard about. They don’t go to the movies; it’s in their real life. Right? So, clearly, someone has heard Captain America more than once say, ‘I could do this all day.’ And, you know, that’s such a great line to sing.
D23 : How long did it take you to write “Save the City” ?
SW : Well, I had to watch all the movies, because I don’t have a husband! [Laughs] But it was also written in the height of the pandemic, so I had a lot of time on my hands anyway.
D23 : What was it like to actually see Rogers: The Musical staged in Hawkeye ?
SW : Marc is in it! He went to the filming in Atlanta, so he has a little cameo there.
MS : It was thrilling! It’s so fun to watch. Some of the people who are performing the number are not the people singing it. Some Broadway stars are supplying a lot of the voices.
SW : Like Adam Pascal, who was the star. [Editor’s note: Pascal plays Lead New Yorker #1.]
MS : Luckily, with Adam, he’s both the voice and in [the production]. As Scott and I were writing it, usually I’ll demo the song and send it to the producers and ask, ‘What do you think?’ But I knew I couldn’t possibly sing the song; I needed that high rock ‘n’ roll voice. I said, ‘I wish I could just call Adam Pascal and see if he could sing the demo.’ Then, I realized I can! I got his number and I texted him out of the blue. I had maybe met him in passing, but I was like, ‘Hey, would you want to sing this demo for Marvel?’ Of course, everyone says yes. The vocal that you hear on the recording is what he and Ty Taylor sang from their own homes—because everyone has their own form of microphone at home now.
D23 : Is there any chance we’ll ever get to see more from Rogers: The Musical ?
SW : Tell people to write to Kevin Feige !
MS : Start petitions! I’ll say, it is thrilling to watch how the fans react.
SW : Someone said it ‘slaps.’ I thought that was better than a rave in the New York Times!

L'acteur Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) serait actuellement dans un état "critique mais stable" après s'être blessé grièvement alors qu'il dégageait de la neige dans l'ouest américain.
Jeremy Renner Gives Recovery Update and Shares If He's Up for Another 'Avengers' Film (Exclusive)
The actor is starring in his first-ever Super Bowl ad this year. Jeremy Renner is continuing on his healing journey. ET's Kevin Frazier spoke to Renner just over a year after his near-fatal snow plow accident, and the 53-year-old actor revealed that he's feeling "strong."
"[I'm doing] probably 90 percent of all the things I needed to be doing... I think another six months will be hopefully running [more]... I got to set goals for myself. I'll do whatever I can... whatever it takes to get better, to get stronger," Renner told ET. "It's a one-way street, this recovery. The rest of my life is about health and wellness. Recovery will be part of the rest of my life, so I look forward to it, man. There's always something to do to get better, be stronger, be happier, be healthier, and that's what I look forward to."
With that in mind, Renner said, "It's hard for me to look back, to be honest with you. It's hard for me to look forward. I focus on now and this next step in front of me, 'cause there's always another obstacle for me right now."
"It's harrowing," he admitted of his recovery. "I can't believe I'm sitting here right now. I'm very grateful. I'm very happy that I'm moving forward in life, and I'm happy to share this life with the amazing people who I love."
When it comes to the idea that he's inspired people with his recovery, Renner admitted, "That's been overwhelming, to be honest. That's a lot to take."
"I'm glad I can be a barometer for somebody. I'm glad I can inspire somebody. If all I have to do is just get better, I mean, I did that for my family. My healing let their healing begin, so I guess that happened for other people as well. I never expected that my voice or my healing would speak in volumes for so many people, but I'm glad it does, man," he said. "It makes me feel righteous. It makes me feel like I can never be lazy. I can never have a bad day. I'm pretty blessed. It's a great honor."
As for if he'll return to The Avengers franchise now that he's on the mend, Renner told ET, "I'm always game. I'm gonna be strong enough, that's for sure. I'll be ready. All those guys come to my bedside and they've been with me all along through this recovery, so... if they want me, they could have me. It would be something."
Also something is the fact that Renner has landed his first ever Super Bowl commercial.
"I had a commercial career, then I got a movie star career. I never had an ad in the big game," he said. "... I'll be watching this one, and I'm so stoked, because they're sometimes the highlight of the Super Bowl. Some games aren't always the greatest, but the ads are always the greatest. It's nice to be part of that, thinking [I can] check that off the box of things I want to do in my life."
As the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers, Renner will appear in an ad for Silk, proof for him that "the world works in mysterious ways."
"All through my recovery, all I could really put down was protein shakes. [That was] the only way I could get nutrients, 'cause I had broken jaw and other gory details of that stuff. Silk almond milk was what I used every day," he explained. "They had no idea. So cut to a year later, we meet up and they just [asked if I'd] like to do a this cool story in this campaign with my daughter... They told me about the idea and I'm like, 'I love it'... It’s wonderful."
Having his daughter, Ava, appear in the ad alongside him made it all the more sweet.
"I never pushed Ava to ever want to be in the business. She's too young. I want her to be a kid... She's been on set with me a bunch of times, but this was a very technical thing for her to do. She did great, man," he said. "I'm glad that we got to do it. It is fun to do something with my daughter, so I'm not just sitting in the bleachers watching her dance or whatever the heck it is... What better way than to do this? She's got a good coach in me, so here we go. It was a great experience."
