Hawkeye is the one who saved Kate from the threat of a Chitauri.

Hawkeye’s opening trailer is designed in the style of painting by David Aja, the artist of the original manga, published in 2012.

Stane Tower – most likely this is the estate of Obadiah Stane, the main villain in Iron Man 1.

Rogers, or Tony Stark’s suggestion to eat shawarma when the battle with Loki is over (the Avengers credits). This musical is like an emotional journey that brings the audience back to one of the movies that made the MCU’s name 9 years ago.

The detail of Hawkeye’s brilliance, when he fired an explosive arrow at Loki in Avengers, was omitted in the musical “Rogers: The Musical”.

Clint Barton had to wear hearing aids after years of suffering from ear-splitting explosions while working with the Avengers. In the original, he became deaf after a malicious attack, or from a shock from childhood, depending on the period of the manga.

When opening a specialized app to locate Clint Barton, Kate used the username “bishop112012”, a reference to the November 2012 timeline, the release date of David Aja’s Hawkeye #2 collection, This is also the first time Kate Bishop appears.
