El Marvel Cinematic Universe it has already spread from the big screen to television. And although sometimes this complicates life a bit for the viewer, who has to watch even superhero movies that don't interest him to understand other plots, the truth is that sometimes very interesting overlaps like the one we have seen in recent weeks with Hawk Eye y Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Before you continue reading, you should know that the most likely thing is that we missed a spoiler both Hawk Eye and Spider-Man: No Way Home, so be careful if you continue reading from here.
The curious crossing of details between Hawkeye y No way home
El fifth episode de Hawk Eye It premiered on Disney+ exactlyand the same day as No way home in theaters. And curiously, there are two cross references between the movie and the episode Hawkeye which are really fun. Despite Spider-Man: No Way Home is produced in collaboration with Sony Pictures, it is surprising that both products have fed each other. And not only that, but a fact like this demonstrates the precision with which Marvel Studios handles the calendars of your productions to square each detail in the exact point and not auto spoil yourself his work.
There is a small detail in Ronin, the fifth episode from the Hawkeye series on Disney+ that you probably didn't notice if you saw it before Spider-Man. During dinner, Ylena starts talking about the New York landmarks that you cannot miss on your visit to the city. It is then that he talks about the "new Statue of Liberty". Obviously, if you saw the first spiderman movie, you would see that the statue was under construction. During much of the film, there is a huge battle right on the scaffolding on which the remodeling is taking place. It is also in the film where they teach us that the New York icon is going to see his lifelong torch replaced to wear the captain America shield.
As well it happens backwardss, albeit in much more subtle detail. In No way home the ad is seen for a second Rogers: The Musical, which is the show that Hawkeye goes to with his kids on the Disney Plus TV series.
How are these references organized?
These small details have not been designed by Marvel Studios, but by Bert & Bertie (Amber Templemore-Finlayson and Katie Ellwood), who are the British directorial duo who have directed several of the latest Hawkeye episodes. As they have explained to The Hollywood Reporter, they were lucky to be able to have access to the most important productions of Marvel Studios, including the co-production with Sony.
In the interview, the two joke that they chose the Statue of Liberty reference, but instead the original script had an even more exaggerated reference. They also saw the movie Black Widow before anyone else, since they wanted to know all the details of the character in order to connect him as much as possible with the series without creating any kind of conflict. Of course, Marvel Studios values this effort made by many of its creators, writers and directors, because, after all, they make the universe they have created more cohesive, believable and coherent.
