He wants to keep his identity a secret, so "Uncle" is likely a codename for a bigger Marvel character and/or crime boss. We never see Uncle or hear Uncle's voice, which has led to much speculation that Vincent D'Onofrio has returned to the role of Kingpin, which would certainly track with Maya's story in the comics (more of that in a moment). Then, of course, there's the matter of Maya's mysteriously Uncle. From the sounds of it, though, they may have been too small for him to bother with, at least at the time.
He is absolutely familiar with the Tracksuit Mafia, as he explains their operation to Kate throughout the episode as Ronin, he certainly would have been aware of them. What's more, he never directly admits guilt for the actions that caused William's death.

Clint's remorse is consistent with how he has acted throughout the series so far. RELATED: Hawkeye's Best Arrow Wasn't Made by Stark Industries - and It Has HUGE RamificationsĪt this point, you may be asking about Clint's reactions to Ronin in this episode, as the name is dredged up again and again. As we see at the end of the episode, he also knows a thing or two about wielding Ronin's sword. Additionally, in Episode 2, he went toe-to-toe with Kate in a fencing match when she pushed him, he expertly disarmed her, despite her own skill at the sport. On the series so far, Jack has shown off his unusual proclivity for swords through the decor he brought to Eleanor's penthouse. Perhaps a little too conveniently, though, Hawkeye has just introduced us to another Marvel character who is quite proficient at swordsplay: Jack Duquesne, who goes by Swordsman in the comics. While Hawkeye is famously known for using a bow and arrow in battle, Ronin has always wielded a sword, so this is in line with what we saw of him in Avengers: Endgame. As a result, Hawkeye's Kingpin debut could set up many future ideas for the MCU.For another, this Ronin has made an interesting - and coincidental - choice of weapon. And Maya Lopez is only one of many heroes whose origin stories are tied to the evil of the Kingpin. Countless street-level villains have worked for the Kingpin of crime, including the likes of Bullseye and Elektra, while in current comics he's in a relationship with Typhoid Mary his rivals could appear in crime war stories, introducing characters such as Tombstone and Hammerhead. But there's no reason to assume the MCU's Kingpin would only appear on the small screen he's a noted enemy of Spider-Man and could appear in the next Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy as well.Įven better, Kingpin provides a way to incorporate many other street-level villains into the MCU as well.

Presumably Hawkeye will see a rift grow between Maya and her uncle, with the two becoming enemies as in the comics this arc would then continue into the upcoming Echo Disney+ TV series. Kingpin is one of Marvel Comics' most important villains, and he would be the perfect antagonist for street-level superheroes. If true, this indicates that the answer to the question of who is Echo's uncle could have dire consequences for anyone operating in the MCU's criminal underbelly.
The good news is - audiences are probably right to think this is the Kingpin. Most viewers believe this to be Vincent d'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, AKA the Kingpin. D'Onofrio was perfectly cast as the Kingpin by Marvel Television in their classic Daredevil series, and there have long been reports he'll be reprising the role in Hawkeye, albeit likely in a reboot. Related: Hawkeye Is Already A Better Spider-Man Than The MCU's Spidey Hawkeye episode 3 positions Echo's uncle as a big deal, avoiding showing his face in a manner that certainly indicates viewers will be excited to see him. Her uncle seems to be a major crime boss, and although he's treated her with affection in the past - he's shown watching her train in martial arts as a child, running his hand along her chin and chuckling with pleasure and pride - he apparently won't be happy with her drawing too much attention by going up against an Avenger. It seems Echo's family were spared by the Blip, but her father and his gang fell foul of Ronin. Echo is essentially middle management in the Tracksuit Mafia, reporting to someone higher up who Clint Barton may not have even encountered during his time as Ronin.
