"It's Nashville, so everyone's in a different bubble," Stephen McFeely said. "Some bubbles come together and break apart, some bubbles come together for the third act. That kind of stuff."

And coming into this movie, the characters who are on Cap's side coming out of Civil War, some made certain decisions and others made other decisions that led to different paths and them dealing with oversight in this movie in a different way. So, Hawkeye's on his own journey in this movie."
