As one of the leading members of the Avengers in the MCU, Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton was long overdue for a solo entourage. Joining the list of Marvel Studio’s expansive set of shows as a part of Phase Four,Hawkeyewill follow the adventures of Clint Barton, and his protege, Kate Bishop.
A recent clip fromMurphy’s Multiversehas revealed the first-ever look at Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. In the clip, Steinfeld can be seen alongside Renner, in what seems to be rapid transit. Also joining the duo is a dog, who is hopefully Lucky the Pizza Dog, on a tight leash.
Interestingly, Hailee Steinfeld can be seen with her bow while donning a purple outfit underneath her trenchcoat in the revealed set clip. Jeremy Renner has also retired his stylized mohawk fromAvengers: Endgame, and has returned to his original hairstyle from the earlier Marvel movies.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Though reports of Hailee Steinfeld joining the cast ofHawkeyeas Kate Bishop had surfaced a few months back, it was not officially confirmed by Marvel Studios. But with the set clip, the veracity of the reports has been finally upheld. Additionally, Jeremy Renner’s latest Instagram post has also confirmed that his protege will have a big role to play in the show.

From the clip, it can be assumed that the sequence in the rapid transit might be a stylized action scene where Clint and Bishop either racing against time to save someone, or being hunted by theshow’s villain. Steinfeld’s partially hidden purple outfit and the not-so-hidden bow only affirm that fact.
