But How Did It All Begin?
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe series “Hawkeye,” our beloved hero Clint Barton (played by Jeremy Renner) takes his children to experience some culture by attending a new Broadway musical. Little did he know, this production hits close to home.
Clint Barton witnesses firsthand the astonishing popularity achieved by the Avengers as he witnesses the fictional stage show titled “Rogers: The Musical.” This theatrical performance, complete with awe-inspiring musical sequences, captures the grandeur and legacy of the Avengers. However, Clint sees it from a different perspective.
“Save the City,” intentionally designed to embrace over-the-top spectacle, features generic lyrics and playful jabs at New York and even some of the Avengers themselves. The chorus brims with motivational phrases like “rah-rah, fight the fight,” climaxing with the iconic line “I can do this all day!” that adds a touch of deliberate cheesiness. As the song nears its conclusion, it cheekily portrays each Avenger, teasing Hawkeye for his lack of superpowers while showering praise on his teammates for their god-like abilities or unparalleled beauty. This mischievous element adds a comedic twist to a musical intended to celebrate the Avengers.
The full performance of “Save The City” captivated fans in a post-credits scene, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige brought a pop-up version of the show, including its standout musical number, to last year’s D23 Expo. Now, after nine months, the moment has arrived—opening day is just around the corner! We’d wish Captain America luck, but we’re not entirely sure he needs it. Watch the thrilling trailer for “Rogers: The Musical” below.
