Marvel Studios have hired Bert and Bertie, the female directing team behind “Troop Zero” and episodes of Hulu’s “The Great,” to direct a block of episodes of the upcoming “Hawkeye” TV series for the Disney+ service.
The pair, real names Amber Finlayson and Katie Ellwood, will be joined by SNL alum and “John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch” special helmer Rhys Thomas who will also direct another block.
Jeremy Renner will reprise his role as Clint Barton, and the series will find him mentoring a much younger archer named Kate Bishop. Hailee Steinfeld had been in negotiations for that role but it’s unclear if she closed a deal.
Jonathan Igla (“Mad Men”) is penning the series and serves as showrunner on the title which marks the first of the new Marvel Studios Disney+ series to involve multiple directors.
