8. Kate Bishop - Hawkeye

Much like Kamala Khan, Kate Bishop is a relative newcomer to the world of Marvel Comics, but has quickly become a fan favourite as the latest iteration of Hawkeye. After months of speculation, leaked set photos have finally confirmed that it will be Hailee Steinfeld bringing the Young Avenger to the MCU.

With Clint Barton's retirement from the super hero business coming all the way back in Age of Ultron, Kate's introduction to the MCU may seem a little overdue, but she will finally make her first appearance when Hawkeye hits Disney+ later this year.

Phase Four will bring several new iterations of the original six Avengers, and Kate will, of course, become the new Hawkeye after being taken under Clint's wing.

Along side Lucky the Pizza Dog, Kate Bishop will hopefully have a long and successful career in the MCU, with the potential of establishing and leading the Young Avengers further down the line being a very exciting prospect indeed. Before this however, while still training under Clint, she will have to come up against a villain all too familiar to her...
