Hot off her well-regarded turn in “Sinners” earlier this year, Hailee Steinfeld has been keeping busy with Marvel.
The actress reprised her “Hawkeye” series role of Kate Bishop in the recent “Marvel Zombies” animated mini-series, not the first time either as she did so for the post-credits scene in 2023’s “The Marvels”.
More recently, she’s been back in her other Marvel role, that of Gwen Stacy in the animated “Spider-Verse” movies, with the third film in that series undergoing recording sessions.
Recently, an IMDB listing suggested a Marvel project called “Champions” was in development, essentially a ‘Young Avengers’ project. Variety asked the actress about it, but says 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 Bishop character is rumored to show up in one of the upcoming “Avengers” films. Asked how her “Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse” recording is going, she says:
“We’re into it. 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.”
She also says while “Sinners” has been great, getting some raunchy oneliners she said in the film thrown at her in the street hasn’t been great: “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.”
