Beyond The Defenders: 10 Characters We Want To See In Future Marvel/Netflix Series

2) Black Widow And Hawkeye

Here’s a left-field idea. Why not give us a spinoff series from the movies featuring Black Widow and Hawkeye? No, we’re not foolish enough to suggest that Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner take time out of their busy careers to do a Netflix show. What the studio could do is simply make a prequel, detailing how Romanoff and Barton met. That way, they could recast the characters with younger actors.

Despite appearing in a handful of movies now, we still don’t know too much about the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents’ pasts. Romanoff’s, in particular, we know to be very colourful but we’ve only had hints at the terrible things she did back when she was a Russian agent. In the comics, Hawkeye was also originally a villain, so a Netflix show could explore Clint’s less heroic origins, too.

They might be Avengers, but these two non-superpowered spies would probably be equally at home among the more down-to-earth heroes of the Defenders. If you’re not going to give us that Black Widow solo movie, Marvel, at least give us this.
