The first two episodes of Marvel Studios' final Disney+ series of 2021, Hawkeye, are now streaming, and star Hailee Steinfeld has taken to social media to mark the occasion.
The Academy Award-nominated True Grit actress takes on the role of Kate Bishop, Clint Barton's (Jeremy Renner) eager protege and (most likely) the next hero to take up the Hawkeye mantle in the MCU. Steinfeld shared a behind-the-scenes photo from her first day of filming, while thanking fans for their support.
"Taken on the first day of filming following an overly excited freak out, similar to the one taking place as I type this," she captioned her post. "To the fans of the MCU, I’m so grateful I get to be a part of your world as Kate Bishop and I can’t wait for you to watch it all unfold."
Steinfeld was forced to keep her involvement with the show secret for a long time after initial casting reports did the rounds, so it must be nice for her to finally be able to embrace her role as The MCU's newest crime-fighter.
"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. The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton’s past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit."
Also starring Vera Farmiga, Tony Dalton, Alaqua Cox, Fra Fee, Zahn McClarnon, and Brian d’Arcy James, Hawkeye is now streaming on Disney+. Have you guys checked out the first two episodes yet? If so, what did you think? Be sure to drop us a comment down below.
