Hawkeye episode 4 has arrived, and it brought with it the MCU return of a fan favorite character: Florence Pugh's 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Yelena Belova.

The showdown between Yelena and Clint Barton was set up way back in 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Black Widow's 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:post-credits scene, which teased a major confrontation on the horizon for the former Widow and the archer Avenger. Naturally the internet is exploding with excitement at Yelena's return.&ź¦”į©šį©šį©šį©šį©šį©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šš’€±į©šį©šį©šnbsp;

"YEą± LENA BELOVA IS BACK I'M CRYING SHAKING SCREAMING," , while : "YELENA BELOVA SHE'S HERE" 

"KATE šŸŽ‰AND YELENA NATION WE WON," said , and another noticed a similarity betwee🌼n the Widow and Natasha Romanoff:

"ZERO DIALOGUE AND YET YELENA STOLE THE ENTIRE SHOW AS SHE SHOULD," was , but th🌠is fan was : "Yelena in Hawkeye, we won" 

Meanwhile, predicts a friendship forming in the future: "Yelena and Kate gonna be besties ā™for sure, they're too alike to be anything less" 

Interestingly enough, Clint didn’t seem to recognize Yelena, so we can assume Natasha didn't share the details of her family at any point between 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Civil War and Endgame. That also means Hawkeye has no idea why a Black Widow is after him – šŸ·and since Yelena ended up leavingź§™ the fight, it looks like there's a round two on the way.
