As we’ve seen from the numerous set photos, actress Hailee Steinfeld will be taking on the key role of the new Hawkeye (aka. Kate Bishop) in Marvel Television’s upcoming “Hawkeye” TV series.
Shooting began on the new series in September ahead of a release sometime in either late 2021 or more likey 2022 on Disney+. The story will follow Kate on her path to take over the mantle from Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton who is hanging up the quivers.
Talking to ET Online recently (via SHH), Steinfeld says she’s excited about the possibilities of her ‘badass’ character:
“I can’t wait for people just to see how we are interpreting this character through the comics. In her own sort of ways, she’s such a badass. There’s no denying that. She’s so smart and witty and quick, and her physical ability to do so many things is through the roof. It’s really tested me, and it’s kept me going through quarantine, I will say, it’s given me a reason to stay with it.”
This will mark Steinfeld’s second foray into the Marvel world, the actress voiced Gwen Stacy in 2018’s acclaimed “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and is expected to reprise her role in that film’s currently in production sequel.
