He served as an executive producer for 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) and The Cloverfield Paradox (2018), the next instalment in the Cloverfield franchise.

We see the life of Hawkeye, before he was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. We get a more action packed series with grounded themes. Use this to introduce more street level characters and emotional themes. Taking elements from the 2021 Hawkeye show and the comics would make a perfect match for a 6 episode mini-series. I'd have it be released all in one on Disney+ with 1 hour long episodes to flesh out themes and characters. Having the first MCU TV show be a story about the little guy gives viewers a breather from all the monsters, mech-suits, super soldiers and Norse gods. (Just pretend Disney+ existed back in 2009 for this to even work, an alternative would be Netflix).
