Hailee Steinfeld's role in Apple TV+'s Dickinson cast doubt on the Academy Award nominee joining the MCU for Hawkeye, but set photos later confirmed that she'll be suiting up as Clint Barton's protégé, Kate Bishop.
Marvel Studios made the casting official during Disney's Investor Day in December, and the stage is now set for the Bumblebee star to take on a key role in this comic book universe. As the new Hawkeye, she's likely to be a pivotal member of the Young Avengers, and someone who has a recurring presence in the MCU not all that different to Jeremy Renner's heroic archer.
While we've yet to see a single official still from Hawkeye, star Hailee Steinfeld has dropped a costumed selfie which, while not overly revealing, might prove just how perfect she is for this role.
Rounding out the cast of the Marvel Studios series are Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d'Arcy James, and newcomer Alaqua Cox (who will star as Maya Lopez).
Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye, helmed by Rhys Thomas and directing duo Bert and Bertie, is set to premiere on Disney+ in late 2021, so expect more intel on the series to be revealed over the summer.
