Avengers Theory: How Kate Bishop Appears In Endgame

Hawkeye Endgame Daughter Lila Clint Barton

Similarly, with trauma being what initially leads Kate to begin her training, the emotional impact of the decimation at the end of Avengers: Infinity War would serve as an effective origin for Bishop's movie counterpart.

There's a very real chance that Kate's introduction will take inspiration from the Young Avengers Presents series, wherein Clint Barton trains his protege and officially bestows upon her his old superhero name, working instead as Ronin. Not only would this serve as perfect reference material for the dynamic (the trailers appear to reveal the two archers already have), but it would also serve as a convenient way to introduce the Young Avengers, who Bishop leads.

More importantly, the concept of her building a ragtag group of young heroes to fight against the wishes of superheroes would work well into a universe where 50% of the world's superheroes no longer exist, so the potential for the main series she features in - Young Avengers - to become established within Endgame is also considerable.
