10 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Casting Rumours You Need To Know About
3. Hailee Steinfeld As Hawkeye
You've heard this one before, right? Well, not exactly. Since the last time Hailee Steinfeld was rumoured to be up for the role, it's been reported that she had to drop out due to her Apple TV+ commitments, with names like Alicia Vikander and Shailene Woodley said to be in the mix instead.
Something has changed since then, though, as it was claimed back in July that the Bumblebee star has finally signed up to play Kate Bishop in the Disney+ TV series.
This still isn't officially official (hence why it's labelled as a rumour), but it's hard not to be excited about seeing Steinfeld play the character. Marvel Studios would definitely be wise to snatch the talented young actress up just as her career is starting to take off, and with the Young Avengers clearly set to assemble in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before too long, she'll be sticking around for the long haul.
Phase 4 is very much putting the focus on heroes passing the baton, and Steinfeld is without a doubt a solid pick to take over from Jeremy Renner a decade after his introduction in 2011's Thor.
