HAWKEYE: It Sounds Like Marvel Studios Has Big Plans For Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop - SPOILERS

We haven't seen Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) since the Hawkeye season finale, but it sounds like Marvel Studios has major plans for Clint Barton's protégé over the next few years...

Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) was introduced in the Disney+ Hawkeye series as Clint Barton's (Jeremy Renner) protégé, and quickly established herself as a fan-favorite character who would (most likely) take up the mantle of the Avengers' resident archer down the line.

We haven't seen Kate since the Hawkeye season finale when she helped Barton to put an end to the machinations of Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) and the Tracksuit Mafia, but we knew she'd be back in action before too long, and it sounds like Marvel Studios has some big plans for the character over the next few years.

Possible spoilers from this point on.

We recently reported on a (rumored) post-credits scene for The Marvels, which supposedly sees Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) dropping in on Bishop to propose a team-up (likely laying the groundwork for the Young Avengers), but that could just be the tip of the iceberg.

According to Daniel Richtman (via Patreon), Kate will indeed feature in a Young Avengers project (we don't know if it'll be a movie or TV series), as well as Avengers: Secret Wars and a second season of Hawkeye.

The Young Avengers direction has proven to be somewhat divisive, since many expected Bishop to simply take over as Hawkeye in the main team of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. While that may still happen someday, it seems Marvel is planning to give these younger crime-fighters a test-run first.

She deserves better than Hawkeye girl.


She deserves to play live acton Spider Gwen. She's that good.

I really liked her in the role (even if I found her series just okay) and Renner won't be able to take physical roles for a while so it makes sense that her character will be stepped up.

@MrDandy - Barton could still be a great mentor until he hopefully can return to active duty. Let’s not kill off all of the OG Avengers even if they take a reduced role in the action. My humble opinion BTW.

@RolandD - I think Renner still serving as her mentor would be great

Now Renner is in the same company of "dead" celebrities like Jeff goldblum and Jimmy fallon.

Her character is already in her 20’s. She’s definitely way younger than Barton but she’s about the age many superheroes start.

I would love to see more of her character. Personally I think she should have her own code name but this is comics accurate so I can’t argue too much although I would have given her comic character a different name too.

Hawkeye was great; very fun, and loved the holiday theme.

@MosquitoFarmer - wrap me up and put a bow on ME daddy. I got your Wilson Fisk right here...

@MosquitoFarmer - You clearly don’t belong here. Everything post Endgame is trash. Seriously, I enjoyed it too. She and Renner had great chemistry and even more so with Florence Pugh. They were hilarious together but the humor worked because it was character driven and didn’t distract from the story as opposed to foolish jokes.

I liked the Hawkeye show as well! Basically one of the stronger MCU D+ shows I've seen. Kate and Yelena were fun and legit worked, which says something considering I wasn't that into Yelena in the BW movie, and considering I think her motives in the Hawkeye show seem kinda like nonsense to me. I even thought Echo had a solid enough character drive and screen presence, which again says something because it led me to trying to give the show the benefit of the dount for how they kinda did Kingpin a little dirty, to me, just a little, though he still showed himself to be a strong presence. All that, plus doing the character of Hawkeye fairly strongly as a mentor, former soldier, his PTSD and his past mistakes/crimes, to me, the Hawkeye show did stronger what the Kenobi show was trying to do.

@dagenspear - "Hawkeye" was a highlight in Phase 4 for me. Went in with high expectations and came out satisfied.

Even though the show was lackluster, she has proven herself to be the best of the new group of legacy heroes.

Wish she played a mutant, they are the future of the MCU.



Not these proto-old Avengers aka New Avengers, heh.

@Doomsday8888 - can you inform me of how to add gifs or memes into comments?

Doomsday8888 - 6/26/2023, 1:01 PM
@McMurdo
Just copy and paste the URL and sometimes you need to delete the "s" in "https/" to embedd certain shit, like youtube videos or pics or whatever.

@Doomsday8888 - love you

@Doomsday8888 - every I do it it simply posts the URL link itself doesn't actually post the gif. Annoying
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 6/26/2023, 1:28 PM
@McMurdo -

You have to make sure that the URL you pasted ends in a file extension, like ".gif" or ".jpg". Otherwise it'll just be posted as text.

What worked for getting phase 1 off the ground were characters with charisma
Kate bishop exudes charisma. They need to lean back into that as this multiverse saga painfully slowly materializes. It's important to have protagonists we care about. Not because they have cool powers, but because we enjoy spending time with him

Focus screentime on Yelena and Kate Bishop and Kamala and everything will come together. Good thing is, it looks like that's exactly what they're doing (thunderbolts, hawkeye2, marvels)
McMurdo
McMurdo - 6/26/2023, 12:58 PM
@Vigor - kamala isn't in the same category as Yelena and Kate. Kamala just says every little thing that comes into her head, this version of the char. I think the Marvels will show us why it's probably not a great idea to go hard on her. I agree w Kate and Yelena tho.

She's not bad in the role. Looking forward to seeing more of her.
