2. There's Serious Crossover Potential

It might be too soon to discuss the open wound that is Marvel's cancelled Netflix shows (RIP to Daredevil in particular), but there is something regarding Kate's character that is worth addressing.

So, we know that Kate is synonymous with Clint Barton, and that she's semi-synonymous with the Avengers. However, she also actually has a really important relationship with Jessica Jones, with the Hell's Kitchen PI the first to actually take an interest in Kate's training as a hero.

It's rumoured that Netflix has a two-year veto on all of its Marvel shows from the point after they were cancelled, so don't expect Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage or the Punisher to appear anytime soon, but it's certainly something that could happen further down the line.

Some of the best parts of Kelly Thompson's Hawkeye involved Kate and Jessica teaming up, and with Bishop too a PI of her own, it's something Marvel Studios must surely be aware of.
