Hawkeye features a Stark Tower continuity error from The Avengers. Jeremy Renner returns to the MCU with his own TV series as Clint Barton. Introduced in 2011 via Kenneth Branagh's Thor, this is the first time that he's headlining a project after primarily appearing in ensemble films. Since Clint has long been in the MCU, Hawkeye includes several references to the bigger universe he belongs; that includes a look back at the Battle of New York.

The Avengers was a landmark project for Marvel Studios. After the franchise was kicked off by Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau's Iron Man in 2008, the MCU continued to grow with the release of several solo movies that introduced the original six Avengers. While the universe was thriving with solo endeavors, it wasn't until the 2012 crossover film that solidified its interconnected storytelling approach. The Avengers was both a critical and box office hit, and it allowed Marvel Studios to push ahead with their Infinity Saga plans. But even after all these years, the MCU likes to revisit the events of the Chitauri Invasion, showing its events from a different perspective.

This is what Hawkeye does in its opening sequence. To establish Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), the Disney+ series shows her being saved by Clint during the Battle of New York. However, Reddit user u/Tajul92 has noticed that there's a minor continuity error in this particular scene. In The Avengers, the letters "S," "T," "R," and "K" all fall off Stark Tower's signage throughout the fight with Loki (Tom Hiddleston). But in Hawkeye, both the "A" and "K" from the building name are still intact. Check out the photos below for reference:

Marvel Studios tends to sneak in small details in their projects and given the burgeoning multiverse, some might think that this was intentional. But it's more than likely that this was a slip on their part. The MCU relies heavily on VFX, and the artists may have totally missed this detail while working on the shot. Perhaps they even realized the error but assumed that no one would notice considering that it's a brief, wide-angle shot. But, at this point in the MCU's history, it's been repeatedly proven that the franchise has some of the most devoted fans in the world. They dissect each frame of a Marvel Studios movie or show in an effort to check if there's any clue about where the story is headed.

This is not the first time that Marvel Studios dropped the ball with regard to flashing back to The Avengers. Spider-Man: Homecoming also began with a revisit to the Battle of New York, but instead of taking place just six years before Peter Parker's (Tom Holland) first solo movie in the MCU, the movie claimed it to be eight instead. Marvel Studios has yet to officially address their error, and chances are that they won't openly talk about it. At least the Hawkeye series' mistake can easily be fixed via CGI without becoming such a big issue.
