Questioned about the Hawkeye series, he joked: “Hey look, we are all whores!” Thomas then shared that he had enjoyed Marvel content before getting a call about the series. “You get an opportunity for a bigger budget, and it’s Marvel, I mean, honestly, I’m not a stupid person,” he said. “I want to be entertained, and I like entertaining things.”

What drew him to the series? “Honestly, what interested me in that show was the Hawkeye character, which, amusingly, if you Googled him, … people were not interested in. Because he does not have any superpowers. He’s a real guy. He’s essentially just a guy who has an incredible work ethic. That’s what I found interesting.” The comic book run that the creators highlighted to him as “a tonal reference” was the popular and beloved Matt Fraction run, he added.

Thomas lauded the “genius” of Jeremy Renner and the “insane” scale of the series. Asked if he would work with Marvel again, he simply replied: “Good question.”

Anyone watch "Eyes of Wakanda?" I quite enjoyed it.

I just saw what I supposed must be a pirate of it up for sale on eBay. It wasn't even a show that
I had heard of before today. Glad you liked it, John, so it sounds promising for me to get eventually.

I'm a sucker for historical fiction.
