After a long fight, Kate detonates the Kingpin with a combo of multiple arrows and then calls the police for her mother, who is arrested for murder. Hawkeye and Yelena eventually reconcile, with Clint explaining to Yelena how her sister, Natasha, sacrificed herself to save the world. Yelena tearfully accepts Clint’s version of events.
In the most controversial scene at the end of Season 1 of Hawkeye, Maya confronts the Kingpin and appears to take him down offscreen. The finale ends with Clint returning for Christmas, with Kate and Lucky by his side. Clint hands the mysterious watch back to Laura, who reveals that it is engraved with a SHIELD logo and the number 19. Clint then burns his Ronin costume symbolically ending this chapter of his life.
At the end of Season 1 of Hawkeye, Maya points a gun at Fisk and fires, with the sound of something or someone falling to the ground shortly after. Did Maya kill the Kingpin? This is what it seems, but it is highly unlikely. Knowing how much fans have been waiting for not only the introduction of The Kingpin, but also D’Onofrio’s reprise of the role, it would be a mistake to kill him so early especially since he hasn’t even interacted with Charlie’s Daredevil yet Cox.
The most likely option is that Maya shot Fisk in the eye, as in the story “Parts of a Hole,” which is part of Maya’s comic book debut when she found out he was responsible. of the death of his father. An Echo series is also planned soon and will tell us more.
What Does The Watch Sequence Mean?
One of Hawkeye’s mini-mysteries was the owner of the Rolex watch, first seen in Maya’s apartment. The ending of Season 1 of Hawkeye revealed that she is owned by Laura, Clint’s wife, and that she has both the SHIELD logo and the number “19”.
If you know the history of comics, you know that Agent 19 is a SHIELD agent better known as Mockingbird. Indeed, Hawkeye confirms that Linda Cardellini’s character worked alongside Clint in the field.
However, that might not be good news for followers of the Agents of SHIELD canon. There is also a character called Mockingbird. He could, of course, be just the last holder of the Mockingbird codename, but Hawkeye’s Mockingbird is likely to take precedence in the MCU in the future.
