*On November 20, 2021, one of the things that ‘Hawkeye’ Director Rhys Thomas asked was if filmed the series more like a movie, like shooting across the series rather than episode by episode. To which he said that, "It was a bit more like a movie. Because of the scale of it, there was no way we could set it up in a way where you could shoot sequentially or silo off my episodes from [fellow Hawkeye directors Bert & Bertie]‘s episodes. Our characters get injured. So you might need to be doing a scene from episode one and a scene from episode six on the same day, but we hadn’t yet shot the intervening moments or fights...".‘Hawkeye’ Director Rhys Thomas’ Journey From ‘SNL’ to the Marvel Universe - Hollywood Reporter

**Moreover, Lars Andersen, who is a professional archer and YouTuber whose videos of him performing insane trick shots with a bow and arrow have been watched by millions, was shown some of Hawkeye and Kate Bishop's best scenes from the MCU films and Disney+ series to get his take on just how heroic an archer they really are. Andersen, for his part went onto say that “[t]he first thing you can see is he throws the bow back and there is basically no power on his arrows. It's a really, really lightweight children's bow he throws back. You see the arrow turn in the air - I have made a video where I show people how to turn arrows and turn direction, but [here] there's no indication on that arrow that it can turn. There's no mechanism or explanation how the arrow turned. Arrows can turn in the air, but not like that - it's not possible to move it around so much with the wind."Archery Expert Reacts to Hawkeye - IGN
*On December 6, 2021, it was revealed that when it comes to Echo (played by Alaqua Cox), who is both deaf and an amputee, directing duo Bert and Bertie said the skilled Native American assassin uses her disabilities as sources of strength in the Disney+ series. “That’s her superpower,” the directors went onto tell TVLine. “Everything that she’s learned in life comes from what we see as a disability… but that’s the reason she kicks ass.” Rather than hide Cox's prosthetic leg, the directors say they made it a part of Maya's character. “It was like, ‘Oh, that can actually add to the superhuman nature of [Maya].’ She's a hero. Alaqua is a real-life hero, and what she's overcome in her life is really mirrored in Maya's story,” they share...Hawkeye Directors Talk Maya Lopez's 'Superpower,' Trick Arrows and a 'Great' Tracksuit Mafia Story Ahead - TV Line

*On December 12, 2021, it is hinted that Hawkeye doesn't know who Spider-Man is either, as the events in Hawkeye unfold due to Doctor Strange's spell. Hide and Seek, the series second episode, it reveals that nobody was cosplaying as Spider-Man in New York City. That's probably because they have no idea how important Spider-Man is for the world following the events in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

*On December 13, 2021, it was mentioned how the increased focus on female butt-kickers on TV has been a positive step for feminism and in trouncing stereotypes.

This is because, “[t]here are a lot of female stunt doubles and stunt performers and there have been for a lot of years,” says Heidi Moneymaker, the stunt coordinator on “Hawkeye” who is also known for doubling Scarlett Johansson in several Avengers movies.Female Stunt Performers From ‘Hawkeye’ to ‘Kung Fu’ Talk Kicking Butt and Trouncing Stereotypes on TV - Variety

The banter is incredible,” the Hawkeye star continues. “We’ve got a girls’ night over mac and cheese and hot sauce so how could that not be so much fun? But [also] realizing that this scene does, in fact, carry a lot of weight. These two characters who find this quick connection and almost friendship in each other but know that that cannot and will not get in the way of what they're both trying to achieve.
