HAWKEYE Star Hailee Steinfeld On Learning Archery To Play Kate Bishop; New Still Released

We're now just under a month away from the premiere of Hawkeye on Disney+, and on the heels of the new poster that debuted over the weekend, Empire has shared another look at Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop.

While speaking to the mag, the Academy Award-nominated True Grit actress revealed that she trained in archery to better prepare for her role as the burgeoning hero, and has since become "quite good."

“Kate is self-taught and it was important to me to take it on myself, to be there by the time we started shooting,” she added. “Kate wants to do good; she has this burning desire to follow in Hawkeye’s footsteps. She’s idolised this person forever and then she finds herself on this wild ride with him.”

Barton will take Bishop under his wing in the show, and the young archer may ultimately take over the Hawkeye mantle and serve as a member of the next incarnation of The Avengers. We don't know if that's definitely part of the game-plan, but we will be seeing a lot of new heroes join the MCU over the next couple of years, so it's certainly a strong possibility.

Check out the image below along with a new promo.

Hawkeye will also star Vera Farmiga, Alaqua Cox, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, and Zahn McClarnon. It's been confirmed that Florence Pugh will return as her Black Widow character, Yelena Belova.

I’m so looking forward to this, I just hope the humour is well placed as it is in the trailers rather than like in some of the other more recent MCU offerings.

@Spike101 - yeah. I think they need to ditch their joke mandate, or at least alter it somehow.
Spike101
Spike101 - 10/25/2021, 1:30 PM
@Origame - totally agree. The Winter Soldier got it spot on with moments like Steve lapping Sam ‘on your left’ whilst the undertone of the movie is a gritty thriller.

@Spike101 - Some Marvel projects should be more serious but Matt Fraction's Hawkeye is hilarious so if they're adapting that they need to carry that over

@Origame - Why does 'Ragnarok' get such a pass then? It's the silliest, most stupid film in the entire MCU, totally betraying it's main character. Why is this cool?

@Luigi - A but of humour, well placed can be good agreed.

@Origame - Understood. But all these comments about too much humour when "Ragnarok' is the Mothership.I'll take Chloe Zhao over Taika Waititi any day.
Origame
Origame - 10/25/2021, 6:54 PM
@rychlec - ...but Ragnarok is a comedy. Eternals is actually trying to be a serious film.

rychlec - 10/25/2021, 7:24 PM
@Origame - The demise of Asgard was never written as a comedy. Taika shouldv'e taken on a Squirrel Girl story.
Origame
Origame - 10/25/2021, 7:28 PM
@rychlec - ok, but that's a different problem entirely from the joke mandate.

@Origame - Is it? When it's decided that 'House of M' is a comedy; when 'Annihilation' is a wacky farce; when "Secret Wars' are played for laughs? There is plenty of room for humour but not at the expense of meaningful stories that carry weight. 'Ragnarok' is funny, yes...but it has no tangible value in the MCU. Just my opinion. (it IS funny).

@rychlec - 1) wandavision wasn't a comedy.

2) neither annihilation nor secret wars were adapted into shows or movies yet.

3) my point is serious movies being undercut by stupid jokes. Not serious comics being loosely adapted into funny movies.

Kate proves that there's a lot of wackos out here.
Random kids:
"I wanna be like captain america"

"I wanna be like iron man"

"I'm hulk"

Kate: I really wanna learn archery and be Hawkeye
