Another member of the Young Avengers coming to Disney+, Kate Bishop is set to receive the spotlight in her own series alongside Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton. There have been some delays with the show but it is still happening and Marvel Studios is said to be intent on casting Bumblebee star Hailee Steinfeld as the young archer.

In the comics, she decides to take up the mantle after Hawkeye's apparent death, but once he returns to the land of the living (as comic book characters are prone to do), they become an unlikely duo as Clint attempts to take Kate under his wing.

The show is designed to be a passing of the torch and quite likely the last time we'll see Renner as the hero he first played in 2011's Thor. His time as Ronin - and the ramifications of going on a killing spree across the globe - will be explored along with Kate's transformation into the MCU's new Hawkeye.

For fans, though, the most highly anticipated part of this series might just be the planned introduction of Clint's loyal hound, Pizza Dog!
