Another TV spot has been released for Hawkeye, and this one offers our first proper look at Vera Farmiga as Kate Bishop's mother, Eleanor. Fans are convinced she'll be revealed as a villain (Madame Masque's name has been mentioned), but she does appear pretty concerned about her daughter facing what is described as an "Avengers-level threat."
There are some great new snippets of footage here, and executive producer Trinh Tran recently opened up to Entertainment Weekly about why Hailee Steinfeld is the perfect Hawkeye.
"I remember the very first day when [executive producer and MCU mastermind Kevin Feige] and I sat with Hailee to talk about it," she recalls. "We were just like, 'This is Kate Bishop.' When you read the comics, you get that energy from Kate — that wit and those smarts. And meeting Hailee, you see she's so incredibly talented."
"Just look at the body of work she's accomplished at such a young age. We knew having her be a part of the MCU one way or another would be very exciting, but when we started talking about this particular project and this character, she just became our go-to girl."
Check out the latest Hawkeye TV spot below:
"Set in post-blip New York City, former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. Possible? Maybe with the help of Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer with dreams of becoming a Super Hero," reads the synopsis for the series. "The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton’s past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit."
Starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Hawkeye also features Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d’Arcy James and newcomer Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez. Helmed by Rhys Thomas and directing duo Bert and Bertie, Hawkeye is set to debut exclusively on Disney+ on November 24, 2021...with the first two episodes!
