Is Hailee Steinfeld playing Kate Bishop in Hawkeye? This seems to be the will she, won’t she casting drama of the year. First there was reports Steinfeld was playing Bishop, then we heard this was wrong. After that more rumors that it was all back on again after all. As yet, no official announcement has taken place saying Steinfeld, or anyone else is playing Kate Bishop. However, everyone pretty much thinks Steinfeld is in Hawkeye at this point, and the actress may have finally teased it herself.
Check out the Instagram post from Steinfeld below. Most fans and outlets alike seem to think this is a major tease of Steinfeld playing Kate Bishop in Hawkeye.
There is a comment following this post from Hawkeye directors, Katie Ellwood and Amber Finlayson. It’s just some purple hearts, but purple is Bishop’s color. We also have the bow and arrow on Steinfeld’s post itself as a clue.

I have no idea what the secrecy is all about casting wise, but then we have seen this used very recently by Disney. No one would admit Ahsoka Tano was Rosario Dawson until she appeared on screen. This situation does feel a little different mind. Filming is set to begin soon on Hawkeye, if Bishop is as big a role as we expect, Steinfeld won’t be a secret long.
So is Steinfeld playing Kate Bishop in Hawkeye? I think we’d be fools to bet against it at this point. After all is said and done, was it really worth keeping this piece of casting such a secret. Is this how things are going to with Disney films in the future? I’m not convinced this is always the best way to keep secrets, I think we have to look at case by case basis. In this case, I guess Marvel don’t want us to know Kate Bishop shows up? But is there really any doubt at this point?
