Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Kate Bishop in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has sparked excitement among fans by teasing her potential return to the franchise. The actress, known for her role in Hawkeye, recently shared her enthusiasm for continuing the character’s journey, especially amid rumors of her involvement in Avengers: Doomsday.
Steinfeld first appeared as Kate Bishop in the 2021 Disney+ series Hawkeye, earning praise for her portrayal of Clint Barton’s sharp-shooting protégé. She later made a brief appearance in The Marvels (2023), where her character was approached by Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) to form a new superhero team.
Steinfeld’s Excitement for Kate Bishop’s Future
In a recent interview with Backstage, Steinfeld expressed her eagerness to reprise the role.
“I’m excited about the idea of continuing to grow with a character like Kate, especially in something as huge as the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” she said. “You get to go back to your family; you get to go back to that little home that then becomes part of this grander picture. I love that character, and I totally understand why she is so loved.”
While she did not confirm her appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, her comments suggest she remains open to returning. Marvel Studios has not officially announced her involvement, but Kevin Feige hinted that more cast members could be revealed later.
Rumors of a Young Avengers Project
The post-credits scene of The Marvels teased a potential Young Avengers or Champions storyline, with Ms. Marvel recruiting young heroes like Kate Bishop. This has led to speculation that Steinfeld’s character will play a key role in future MCU projects, whether in Avengers: Doomsday or a separate team-up film.
Additionally, rumors suggest Hawkeye Season 2 is in development, possibly inspired by the action film The Raid, with Kate and Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) trapped in a single location. Renner, who recovered from a serious accident, has also expressed interest in returning to the MCU.
What’s Next for Kate Bishop?
Marvel Studios has not confirmed Steinfeld’s return, but her character remains a fan favorite. Given her brief but impactful appearances in Hawkeye and The Marvels, it seems likely she will reappear—whether in Avengers: Doomsday, a Young Avengers project, or Hawkeye Season 2.
