The latest episode of the Hawkeye Disney+ series gave Marvel fans a thrill, as it ended with a surprise(?) cameo from a major new Marvel Cinematic Universe character. (MAJOR SPOILERS!) The climax of Hawkeye Episode 4 saw Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) caught up in a tag-team brawl with Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) and a mysterious covert operative who was targeting Clint. That fight ended with the operative being unmasked and revealed as Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), the sister of late Black Widow Natasha Romanoff.

The Black Widow movie ended with Yelena getting pointed in Hawkeye’s direction by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), under the lie that Clint was responsible for Natasha’s death. While Hawkeye’s encounter with Black Widow II is just beginning, Marvel fans are already freaking out about the crossover!

The Avengers saved the world multiple times, but can’t impress a couple of Millenials. Typical.
