Hawkeye might not seem like the biggest Marvel show to come out of Disney Plus, amid the likes of Loki, WandaVision, and Falcon and The Winter Soldier. But it brings an exciting prospect: Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, handing the Hawkeye mantle over to Kate Bishop, a young archer who in the comics is a member of the Young Avengers. A young team of heroes like Peter Parker? Sounds good!
We know Jeremy Renner will return as the titular hero, but we don’t know who will play his protege. The storyline, which Variety reported in April, had been speculated about in the lead-up to Avengers: Endgame, as the trailer showed Hawkeye training his daughter with a bow and arrow. But that character is credited as Lila Barton (played by Joe Russo’s daughter, Ava).
On Monday, Variety broke the news that Hailee Steinfeld (star of Bumblebee and upcoming Apple TV Plus series Dickinson) is in talks to star as Kate Bishop in the upcoming series.
WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT?
Along with the avalanche of Marvel announcements at San Diego Comic-Con, we found out Hawkeye will fill the fall 2021 slot of Marvel’s Phase 4. This slots it between the What If…? animated series and Thor: Love and Thunder, toward the end of that phase.
Stay tuned for more Updates!
