# Hybrid Disney Hero Cosplay This Costume Combines Characters from the Avengers and Brave By Sarah Dos Santos | Published 2013-11-19 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-avengers-and-brave References: [fashionablygeek](http://fashionablygeek.com/costumes/this-merida-hawkeye-costume-is-fantastic/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/kerryleephotography1) If you've ever wondered what would happen if characters from The Avengers and Brave came together, this is what you would find: a Merida-Hawkeye cosplay outfit. This costume is a combination of Merida's luscious red locks and fearless attitude with the outfit, bow and archery skill of Hawkeye. What a perfect combination! Both characters are archers and this costume celebrates them both in a harmonious way. In spring and summer of 2012 several movies were released featuring archer characters: Katniss Everdeen from [The Hunger Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunger-games-collection), Merida from Brave and Hawkeye from The Avengers. With the movie releases happening all in the same time of year, artist Brianna Garcia decided to draw a Merida in a Hawkeye costume. Lisa Marie, a cosplayer, decided to create this outfit inspired by Garcia's drawing. This amazing costume shows the best of the characters in The Avengers and Brave -- there is even a little mockingjay pin to pay tribute to Katniss. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cross-genre Cosplay:** Creating cosplay costumes that combine characters from different genres or franchises opens up new creative possibilities for cosplayers. - **Character Mashup:** Mashing up two or more characters from different movies or series allows fans to express their creativity and show their love for multiple characters at once. - **Celebrating Similarities:** Creating costumes that celebrate the similarities between characters from different movies or series can be a fun way to pay tribute to beloved characters. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosplay:** The cosplay industry can capitalize on the trend of hybrid Disney hero cosplay by offering custom costume design services that cater to this specific niche. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore the potential of cross-genre collaborations, such as movies or TV series that bring together characters from different franchises. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can draw inspiration from the creative costumes in hybrid Disney hero cosplay to create unique and innovative clothing designs that combine elements from various sources. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon Superhero Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crimson-hawk-ranger.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md) - [Collectible Cosplay Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-ketchup-and-mustard.md) - [Whimsical Activewear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lululemon-x-disney.md) - [Reimagined Beloved Character Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney.md) - [Superhero Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastic-four-first-steps.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Superhero Game Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarlet-witch.md) - [Villainous Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns.md)
