Looks like Marvel Studios has set its sights on their Kate Bishop for the MCU, as Variety reports that Academy Award nominated actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld has been tapped to play Kate Bishop in Marvel and Disney's upcoming "Hawkeye" TV Series for Disney Plus!
Steinfeld, who got her nomination from her breakout role as Mattie Ross in "True Grit" and also starred in last December's "Bumblebee", will be joining veteran MCU actor Jeremy Renner in the series - who reprises his role as the original Hawkeye Clint Barton. A member of the Young Avengers, Kate Bishop first appeared in the eponymous series as one of the founding members of teenage superheroes gathering together to honor the memory of the Avengers. She has since come into her own as a hero, sharing the name "Hawkeye" with the blessing of her mentor and fellow archer Clint Barton.
This will be Hailee's second Marvel character to play if ever, as she also voiced Spider-Gwen/ Gwen Stacy in the Academy Award winning animated film "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse"! No word yet on when the exact release date of "Hawkeye" will be, but it's expected to come to Disney Plus on 2021.
