According to Variety, Bumblebee and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse star Hailee Steinfeld has been offered the role of Kate Bishop in the upcoming Hawkeye TV series on Disney+. 

Jeremy Renner will also star in the show as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, and it's thought that it will revolve around him passing on the mantle to Kate as he comes to terms with what happened in Avengers: Endgame and his time as Ronin.

It sounds like the ball is very much in Steinfeld's court, and it's now down to her whether she chooses to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

The trade notes that starring in Hawkeye would likely "represent a long-term investment in Steinfeld on Marvel's part" as the character will more than likely get her own standalone series eventually or appear on the big screen. 

It seems we'll have to wait and see, but now that the word is out, don't be surprised if we get official confirmation sooner rather than later. Last week, we learned that Mad Men scribe Jonathan Igla had boarded Hawkeye so it appears as if work on this one is already well underway. 

How do you guys feel about the possibility of Steinfeld playing Kate Bishop?

Fantastic actress, can pull of comedy and drama, and has that right Disney image. It was only a matter of time.

Not sure if I like her for this role. She just doesn’t look like Kate to me.

@OmegaBlack13 - She doesn't look like a poorly-drawn comic book character? The nerve of her!

@Skrull - @Skrull - I can't tell if you're calling Jim Cheung or David Aja's work poorly drawn, either of which would be ridiculous. And I just mean she doesn't look blueblood enough I guess. The point of Kate is that she's this ridiculously privileged white girl clearly coming from some of the oldest money possible. It's what makes her choice to lead the life she does so interesting, she really doesn't need to and has no real reason beyond boredom and a will to help people. But hey maybe's I'd change my mind if she had darker hair.

Woahhhhh I was just thinking about her in an MCU role a few days ago. I didn't think about Kate Bishop at all.

I've only seen her in a few things but I like it. She'll be a pretty good pick.

Isn't Hailee Steinfeld currently involved as the lead in 'Dickerson' an Apple streaming series? A series that has yet to be released. I don't know how these streaming contracts work but I'm not sure getting her is as easy as it sounds. Apple could throw a wrench into the whole process since her series with them has first priority. There also could be a non-compete clause in her contract.

I think Hailee would make a great Kate Bishop but I'm not going to get my hopes up at the moment. I don't want to think this could be another 'Black Widow' situation when Emily Blunt had to bow out of the role due to her previous commitment to another studio.

More Hailee is always a good thing.

Not bad. She would have been a perfect Rogue which I think is a better part but she’s a great actress and would obviously be an asset to the MCU. She’s a bit older though than I would think of they were creating a Young Avengers so maybe they are not.

Ha, Andy Signore trying to get his miserable career back on track by calling out CBM for a rumor that originated on a different site. The girl who accused him was caught in a lie, but he still strikes me a creepy SOB.
