Although the Hawkeye TV series has not been confirmed by either Marvel or Renner yet, it seems like a no-brainer for both parties. The series was heavily rumoured to be in the works last year, and with Renner yet to be the centre of attention in any Marvel film thus far, it makes sense for him to finally get the opportunity to flex his acting chops in a series of his own.

As for Bishop, it has been rumoured that she may already be present in Avengers: Endgame. 13 Reasons Why actor Katherine Langford was cast for an undisclosed part in Endgame back in October, with many speculating that she could be set to play Bishop. Other theories have previously optioned the idea that she could be playing a younger version of Black Widow, but Bishop seemingly fits Langford's profile the better, especially with her past experience with Netflix.

Of course, the most recent Endgame trailer treated fans to a brief shot of Barton teaching his archery skills to an unnamed girl. Many had thought this might've even been Kate, but the more likely candidate is that of Lila Barton, Clint's daughter last seen in Age of Ultron.

If Variety's sources are accurate, it's likely that Kate will be a whole new character. It remains to be seen if she features in Endgame, but with the film set to tee-up both Phase 4 and these programmes, a cameo would seem likely.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
