With summer barely begun, the DC Extended Universe has made a shock transfer bid for Marvel utility superhero Hawkeye.
It is understood that Hawkeye had been unhappy at his being left out of the squad for the prestige Infinity War clash and may well have issued a come-and-get-me plea to rivals DC.
“We think that there is a lot more to Hawkeye than the rotation superhero role he has at Marvel,” said DC gaffer Walter Hamada.
“At DC, we would be looking to build a squad around him, with Hawkeye taking the key role up front, leading the line.”
It is thought that Hawkeye has been offered a stellar deal that would see him on a similar package to Batman and, after two years, could see him as second only Superman in terms of wages.
However, it looks like Marvel are not going to let him go with out a fight, with boss Kevin Feige issuing a hands-off warning.
“Hawksy is a valuable member of my squad, and if that lot think they can tempt him away, they’ve got another think going.
“I tell you, cut that boy and he bleeds Marvel. He’s going nowhere.”
With both the two big superhero clubs refusing to budge, Hawkeye’s future looks set to be the transfer saga of the summer.
