Open

Hawkeye
Marvel Studios concept artist Andy Park has released a higher quality version of his design for Kate Bishop, the character who will make her live-action debut in the upcoming “Hawkeye” series for the Disney+ service.
A low-res version was seen in a featurette last year. “Bumblebee” actress Hailee Steinfeld has apparently finalized her deal to star as Kate, but Marvel has yet to confirm.
I hear some people are having MCU withdrawals. I feel ya. Waiting is tough I know! Here’s a little something- a concept design illustration I did for the upcoming Hawkeye @disneyplus show. This was seen on the “Expanding the Universe” featurette on Disney+ #hawkeye #katebishop pic.twitter.com/wDPGwJNNBQ
