Fans got a good look at early concept designs for the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of (MCU)Hawkeye(played by Jeremy Renner). The concept art comes asHawkeyeis streaming on Disney Plus and is bringing the spotlight on to Marvel’s famous archer.
TheseHawkeyeconcept designs, which were made forThe Avengers, are much closer to the Ulitmate Marvel comic book storyline look, which is saying something because Jeremy Renner’s current take was already taking inspiration from the Ultimate era instead of the classic comic books. While fans may like the costume that he has in the movies due to it’s practicality, the look that fans really like is the Roninoutfit that the character wore inAvengers: Endgame.

The artwork comes fromRyan Meinerding, who is a character designer, creative director, and head of visual development at Marvel Studios. The unusedHawkeyecostume designs feature all black and have a lot more militaric or combat necessities, along with a sleek agent-like style. The suit looks less like a costume than it does an outfit meant for fighting hordes of Chitauri.TheHawkeyecostumethat ended up being used inAvengerswas less inspired by the Ultimate comics than the one seen it Meinerding’s work, but it still had the same aesthetic: Sleeveless outfit with buckles, a quiver, and a bow. The design also had hints of purple in it, which was meant as a nod to his classic outfit’s color scheme.
Meinerding’s Instagram page has a more artwork for many other Marvel characters. These include illustrations for the Watcher, Ultimate Ultron (bothfrom Marvel StudiosWhat If…?)and Thanos, to name a few. All of the recent behind the scenes info is a welcome addition for many fans.
