HAWKEYE Star Hailee Steinfeld On MCU Return And Fans Quoting NSFW SINNERS Dialogue To Her

Hawkeye star Hailee Steinfeld addresses her (potential) return as Kate Bishop for either one or both of the upcoming Avengers movies...

Hailee Steinfeld made her MCU debut in the Disney+ Hawkeye series as Kate Bishop, before returning for a brief appearance in The Marvels' post-credits scene with Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan.

The Captain Marvel sequel's stinger paved the way for a Young Avengers project (now believed to be a Champions series), but rumor has it that at least some of the heroes that will make up the team will show up in Avengers: Doomsday and/or Avengers: Secret Wars.

A more recent rumor claimed that Bishop will actually emerge as the leader of The Champions once they've been established as a team.

Steinfeld has played coy about a potential MCU return in previous interviews, and (mostly) remained tight-lipped when Variety asked about her name showing up on an IMDb listing for Champions (she claims she doesn't "know what that is").

"I saw that! You’re telling me anyone can just update IMDb now? Because part of me was like, 'Is this someone random just throwing stuff out? Or someone who knows something?' As for Marvel, I’m always waiting by the phone. I love that family. I’m so grateful to be a part of it. Anytime they need me, they know where to find me."

The Oscar-nominee also voices Gwen Stacy in the animated Spider-Verse movies, and is set to reprise the role for the third and final instalment, Beyond The Spider-Verse.

"We’re into it," she says when asked for an update on the threequel. "I wonder sometimes if anything ever gets scrapped, because I’ve said the word “Miles” in so many different ways and tones — they probably have a whole library. But the process is constantly changing. You never get the full script at the top. It evolves. And that makes it so crazy and fun to be a part of."

Finally, Steinfeld revealed that she has had certain lines of NSFW dialogue from Ryan Coogler's Sinners quoted to her on several occasions. If you've seen the movie, you should have a pretty good idea which ones (the asterisk key will get a bit of a workout here).

“I heard you loud and clear, but then you stuck your tongue in my c*oze and f*cked me so hard I figured you changed your mind.”

"Oh God. There have been a couple moments — people like to bring up certain lines in the movie, especially that one. That’s always…yeah, awkward. Like, I respect and appreciate you, but I know what the line is. You don’t have to tell me. Especially when someone nearby isn’t in the know, it can get weird fast."

We're 99% sure that Bishop will appear in at least one of the upcoming Avengers movies, but even if she doesn't, there's no way Steinfeld won't return to the role at some point.

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were recently hit with significant delays, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.

Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame

"Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves”, said The Russos in a statement after the SDCC panel.

@Wahhvacado - yeah, I love Buddy Guy. I hope that scene introduce him to people that doesn't know that kind of music.

I find sad that people outside America (like me) knows more than people living in there and having that culture so close.

@MyCoolYoung - That's awesome! I had a conference in Chicago a few years ago and was so excited to check out his spot. The Blues have always been a big part of my life and that scene had me over the moon

@MarkCassidy - It really was great! I immediately called my brother and demanded that he and his wife watch it

@Alucard28 - I couldn't agree more! The blue has been so influential for so many different types of music and the history and culture behind it is so interesting

@Wahhvacado - sinners was incredible. If not mostly for the music. I can't remember a film having that much good music since "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?"

She was so good in Sinners which was a movie that I quite enjoyed overall aswell…

Some of her lines made me blush though lol , I couldn’t believe this is the same girl who was in True Grit at one point so that seemed like a turning point for her to take on more mature roles if she wants to which I would be interested to see.
