The full song "Save The City" from Rogers: The Musical in the first episode of Hawkeye has been released by Marvel. Hawkeye is the latest Marvel character to get a Disney+ series, once again starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye. Barton is joined in the show by Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Kate Bishop, a protege of sorts to Barton, whom he teams up with to take down an "Avengers-level threat".
Hawkeye is written by Mad Men's Jonathan Igla (among others), who also acts as the showrunner. Along with Renner and Steinfeld, the show stars Vera Farmiga, Linda Cardellini, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d'Arcy James, and Alaqua Cox. Black Widow's Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) is also expected to make an appearance in the show, as the post-credits scene of the film seemed to put her sights on Barton, potentially as a target for revenge in the death of Natasha Romanov.
In the first episode of the new show, Barton and his daughter go to the Broadway play Rogers: The Musical, which recreates the famous "Battle of New York" as featured at the end of 2012's The Avengers and now Marvel has released the full song from the episode titled"Save The City." Barton is visibly emotional over the song and lyrics, as it reminds him not only of his past but of the loss of Romanov, who sacrificed herself in Avengers: Endgame. The musical number was put together by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray) for Hawkeye, producing a catchy summation of the game-changing battle in the MCU.

Hawkeye is speculated to take place somewhere around December 2024 in the MCU timeline, which is the furthest along for anything in the MCU to date. While Renner is reprising the role of Barton/Hawkeye, it's unclear just how long he'll continue to stay in the role, as Steinfeld's Kate Bishop later takes up the mantle in the comics. Renner is currently starring in the Paramount Plus series The Mayor of Kingstown, while Steinfeld just debuted the final season of Dickinson on Apple TV earlier this month.
Continuing to use The Battle of New York as a staple moment in the MCU that reverberates throughout the various films and TV shows is a smart and clever way to keep things tied together as Hawkeye does with the musical. The signature moment has been mentioned in everything from the main films to the Disney+ shows to the Netflix Marvel shows, making it something of a pinned moment that signifies the arrival of superheroes on Earth, even if it's now known that they've been around for a very long time. The MCU historical references make for a rewarding investment in the MCU and it's one of the key reasons that the franchise itself continues to evolve, yet still feel cohesively connected.
