Hawkeye Star Tony Dalton Addresses Swordsman's MCU Return Chances

screenrant.com:

Though changes were made to his character from the comics, Hawkeye star Tony Dalton is eager for Swordsman's Marvel Cinematic Universe return. Created by Stan Lee and Don Heck, Swordsman made his Marvel Comics debut with 1965's The Avengers No. 19 as an antagonist to Hawkeye, whom he and Trick Shot mentored as a young kid, and The Avengers. Jacques Duquesne, the Swordsman's real identity, would become a recurring player in the years that followed, acting as both a supervillain as well as a superhero.

Dalton would bring a version of the character to life in Hawkeye with Jack Duquesne, the nephew to wealthy socialite Armand and fiancé to Kate Bishop's mom Eleanor. After hints that the character was behind his uncle's murder, Jack would be proven innocent as Eleanor was behind Armand's death to cover up her involvement with the Kingpin, and he would even offer his help in fighting the Tracksuit Mafia in the Hawkeye finale. With Eleanor arrested and his swordfighting skills put to good use, the door is open for a positive future for Jack in the MCU and the actor behind the role is sharing his thoughts on what's next.
