Marvel has released the first official footage of Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop in the Disney+ series "Hawkeye", which is set to premiere in late 2021.
The series follows Clint Barton (played by Jeremy Renner) as he trains his protege Kate Bishop to take over the Hawkeye mantle.
It also explores Barton's time as the assassin Ronin, which MCU fans first got a glimpse of in "Avengers: Endgame", and his origin story with his former mentor Jacques Duquesne, aka the Swordsman (played by Tony Dalton).
Bishop was first introduced in Marvel Comics in 2005, as part of the Young Avengers. She joined the team after a brutal attack spurred her to train in martial arts and self-defense. Kate picked up the name Hawkeye when Clint was presumed dead, but when he returned, she trained under him and kept the mantle.
Filming on "Hawkeye" began in early December and set photos quickly confirmed that Steinfeld would be playing Kate, which had been rumored for months.
However, Marvel didn't officially announce her casting until Disney's Investor Day 2020, when they showed off a clip of Steinfeld raising her bow and arrow.
"Hawkeye" is just one part of Marvel's expansion into television.
The new slate for Disney+ shows also includes:
- “WandaVision“, got a new trailer ahead of its upcoming January 15th release date.
- “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier“, also finally got a full trailer and a March release date.
- “Loki“, Disney’s highly anticipated short series based on Tom Hiddleston’s God of mischief character. The show also got a May 2021 release date.

- “What If?“, an animated series from Marvel Studios that features the voice acting cast of many Marvel Cinematic Universe stars, also got a new trailer that offered a first look at the upcoming series.
Feige also gave some casting updates on the “Moon Knight”, “She-Hulk”, and “Ms. Marvel”.
Actress, Tatiana Maslany is set to play the lead role in “She-Hulk”, with Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner also set to appear, while “Ms. Marvel” star Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan will appear in Captain Marvel 2.
Marvel Studios is working on a new “Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” due out in 2022, which will be directed by James Gunn.
