Though quickly becoming a fan-favorite in the series, new Hawkeye concept art shows a very different Lucky the Pizza Dog. The Marvel Cinematic Universe series primarily borrows inspiration from the Matt Fraction and David Aja Hawkeye comic book run, in which Clint Barton was struggling with his worsening hearing and began training Kate Bishop to eventually take over the Hawkeye mantle. The show centered on Jeremy Renner's Clint as he tries to clean up Hailee Steinfeld's Kate's mess from having unearthed his Ronin costume and drawing the ire of his past enemies, ruining his Christmas vacation.
Alongside Renner and Steinfeld, the cast for Hawkeye saw a mix of MCU vets and newcomers, some of whom included Alaqua Cox's Echo, Tony Dalton's Jack Duquesne, Linda Cardellini's Laura Barton, Florence Pugh's Yelena, Fra Fee's Kazi and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin. The MCU series premiered on Disney+ this past November to mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, with praise directed towards the refreshing return to street-level heroism, action sequences and the chemistry between Renner and Steinfeld. While those behind Hawkeye sought to bring the best elements of Fraction and Aja's comics, there was one thing that nearly saw a major change.

Just over six months after the show came to a close, Wes Burt took to Instagram to share early Hawkeye concept art he was hired to create. The art shows both Renner's titular hero and Steinfeld's Kate fairly beat up as well as a different Lucky the Pizza Dog, no longer a golden retriever and having both of his eyes.
