Hailee Steinfeld Confirmed To Be Playing Kate Bishop in Marvel's HAWKEYE Series
Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee) is confirmed to be taking on the role of Kate Bishop in Marvel’s Hawkeye series. A year ago it was announced that Steinfeld was offered the role and shortly after that she didn’t seem so sure that she would be playing the character. Since then, fans have been wondering if she was going to actually take the part of if it was going to go to another actress.
Well, Hawkeye has started shooting in New York City and a video from the set surfaced online. That video features Steinfeld in the role of Kate Bishop, so… she is confirmed for the role and that’ll make a lot of fans happy! She’s going to be awesome in the role!
Jeremy Renner is set to reprise his role as Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye who will train Kate Bishop to become a warrior. We don’t have any concrete details on the story for the series, but it’s said to draw from Matt Fraction and David Aja's acclaimed Hawkeye comic run.
It’s also rumored that Hawkeye’s hearing loss will factor in the story. Like many of you, I’m super curious to see what this Hawkeye series will entail.
Troop Zero directors, Bert and Bertie, a.k.a. Amber Finlayson (Bert) and Katie Ellwood (Bertie), and Saturday Night Live and Comrade Detective director Rhys Thomas have been hired to helm some episodes of its upcoming Disney+ Hawkeye series.
