Hailee Steinfeld to play Hawkeye's Kate Bishop in new Marvel project
(Web Desk) - New set photos have confirmed that actor and musician Hailee Steinfeld will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Kate Bishop, aka Hawkeye.
Steinfeld will take on the role for the Disney+ series Hawkeye, which was announced last year at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Kate Bishop will be the MCU’s second iteration of Hawkeye, following on from Jeremy Renner‘s Clint Barton, who appeared in several Marvel films including the Avengers franchise.
Marvel Studios has kept many of the details about the series under wraps, with news of Renner’s return first confirmed in filming notices.
New photos posted to Twitter clearly show Renner and Steinfeld on set and in-costume, with the latter holding the character’s signature bow and arrow.
In the Marvel Comics, Kate Bishop is the daughter of a wealthy businessman who trains herself to fight after one day being assaulted.
When Hawkeye is presumed dead, she takes over in his stead, later teaming up with him when he returns.
