HAWKEYE Directors Tease the Future of Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova's Story

The Marvel limited series Hawkeye is two-thirds of the way through, with the fourth episode having dropped this week. Fans finally got to see the arrival of Black Widow’s Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), who had promised to go after Hawkeye after finding out at the end of Black Widow that he was the person “responsible” for her sister’s death. Yelena showed up and had a showdown with Clint Barton and exchanged a look with Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) across a rooftop.

As for what we can expect in the future between Yelena and Kate, the show’s directors, Bert and Bertie, explained to Variety:

"So much of Hawkeye is seeing the world through the characters' point of view of it. So if we look at the end of [Episode 4], we are with Kate Bishop as she's seeing this person, who she has no concept of who she is, actually, and how she's going to fit into the story," Bertie said. "But there's this connection, and you can see and feel the presence of this new character. It's actually a balance between what the audience feels about this character and what Kate's feeling that makes that ending so special."

Bert added, "When you're directing actresses like Florence and Hailee, they bring so much to it. There was this immediate natural chemistry between them, which — I can't say anything else. But you know, when they give you that, it's this gift, and all you want to do is take care of it and unwrap it slowly."

So we obviously haven’t seen the end of Yelena’s character. But it is crazy to think that we are just getting to her character and there are only two episodes left! I can’t wait to see what happens in the Hawkeye story. The final episodes of Hawkeye will be available to watch on Disney+ on December 15th and December 22nd.
