HAWKEYE: Speculation Mounts That Hailee Steinfeld Has Signed On To Play Kate Bishop

Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit, Bumblebee) has previously played down reports that she was up for the role of Kate Bishop in the Disney+ Hawkeye series, but new evidence suggests she may have closed a deal..

There have been conflicting reports about Hailee Steinfeld's involvement with the upcoming Disney+ Hawkeye series since we first heard that she was in talks for the role of Kate Bishop, with comments from the actress herself casting doubt on her availability to commit to the role.

However, we now have some pretty compelling evidence that the the Academy Award-nominated True Grit star may have closed a deal to join the cast of the Marvel show.

As you can see, Hawkeye directors Bert and Bertie (aka longtime creative collaborators Amber Finlayson and Katie Ellwood) have followed both Steinfeld and Jeremy Renner on Instagram. While this is obviously far from confirmation that Hailee will play Bishop, it would be quite the coincidence if the filmmakers just randomly decided to follow her at the same time as the star of the show.

What do you guys think? Is this a good sign that Steinfeld has signed on to play Kate Bishop, or are people reading too much into it?

Hawkeye was originally scheduled to begin shooting last month before pandemic-related delays kicked in, but it is expected to commence production before the end of the year, so there's a good chance we'll get some kind of official update on Hailee's involvement fairly soon.

@FleischerSupes - What a cast. Steinfeld, Bridges, MATT DAMON, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper. All great in their roles. And then I almost forgot it was a Coen Bros. movie.

This scene was priceless.

I wonder if her AppleTV contract is what has gotten in the way of things.

Hawkeye is such a worthless Avenger to begin with. Passing the mantle doesn't do anything to change that. Hailee is settling if she takes on this one.

If you can't get her...wait until you can. There's no one else I ever wanted for that role. This has been a roller coaster of excitement/disappointment. She's the best.

Before the year's end I would really like some confirmation on this.
And the apparent non-casting of Shulkie. I don't get that.

@BritishMonkey - How don't you get it? None of these actors can confirm their involvement in these shows until Marvel announces it. Paul Rudd and Brie Larson both denied they had been cast until Marvel announced it.





This is very common place, but in both situations Variety/Deadline reported they were cast beforehand as they did with Maslany.

@LongMayHeReign - I get the actors being coy, that's nothing new.
What bothered was all the legitimate places said she was cast as Shulkie and then Tatiana says "well, no actually..."
I've not seen that before.
