"Avengers: Age of Ultron" hit us with the shocking reveal that Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) had a whole family waiting for him on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Until the "Hawkeye" Disney+ series, that was really all we got of them. Laura (Linda Cardellini) and the kids were more of a plot device to make Clint likable.
The "Hawkeye" series did try to invest this relationship with a little more oomph, but Clint and Laura weren't even in the same state for most of the show. Eventually, we learned Laura used to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and maybe there's a compelling backstory somewhere in there, but I don't see it. So far, Laura has just been a waste of Cardellini's talents.
