HAWKEYE: More Evidence Suggests That Hailee Steinfeld Is Indeed Playing The MCU's Kate Bishop

It's definitely beginning to look like Bumblebee star Hailee Steinfeld has been cast as Kate Bishop in Hawkeye, as the show's directors have commented on the Instagram post we mentioned earlier today...

Earlier today, we told you about a cryptic Instagram post from Bumblebee star Hailee Steinfeld which definitely appeared to suggest that the actress had joined the Hawkeye TV series coming to Disney+.

Now, we have some further evidence thanks to a comment left on the actress' post by Hawkeye directing duo Katie Ellwood (Bertie) and Amber Finlayson (Bert). As you can see below, they've shared some purple hearts on the post that we can't help but take as a sign that the actress is playing Kate Bishop. 

Is it possible we're just being trolled at this point? Perhaps, but it would be a little strange for everyone to go to these lengths, especially when Steinfeld's name is still the only one attached to the role (the only reported issue stems from her commitments to Apple TV+ series Dickinson). 

Chances are the actress and singer has finally signed up to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with shooting on Hawkeye set to begin over the next few days, we could soon get a first look at Steinfeld on set as Kate Bishop.

In the comic books, Bishop takes over the mantle from Clint Barton and joins the Young Avengers, a story arc fans are hoping to see play out in this shared world.

We'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

@Spock0Clock - IDK. It's just baffling me.

@Spock0Clock - could be because she is a Sagittarius and their symbol is usually a centaur or archer. But that is also just more evidence that it is meant to be ;)

She's a sagittarius.



But boy does this feel like it could have a double meaning. 😁

@WakandaTech - More like WV, FATWS, What If... and Loki in 2021 and Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, She-Hulk and Moon Knight in 2022.

SWORD, Thunderbolts and Young Avengers would be really to see too though.

Marvel really needs to announce the cast already. Everyone knows she's Kate Bishop lol.

@E4Nigma - I wish they’d say something. I know they don’t have to do anything and it’s just us fans wanted to know everything but I would like something akin to dc fandome for marvel.

Dc knocked that out the park and for us that was quarantining it was right on time.

@MyCoolYoung -

Yeah, a Marvel event similar to DC fandome would be amazing..

bkmeijer2 - 12/1/2020, 2:41 PM
@E4Nigma - that would be crazy. Marvel knows and we know it.

I just think they don't wanna announce things far ahead to keep the element of surprise.

@E4Nigma - For some reason they're stubbornly refusing to just issue press releases like a normal studio. And since they didn't arrange for something like FanDome, we're stuck having shows go into production without officially announcing their cast.

I do think Steinfeld is gonna be cast as Kate, but this feels like looking for signs where there probably aren't any

I dunno, too many coincidences to not be evidence she’s been cast. I’d expect an announcement this week - I live in New York City, and have seen signs on the street that they’re filming “Anchor Point” on the Upper East Side on Friday.
