Hailee Steinfeld opens up about theMarvel Cinematic Universefuture of Kate Bishop, following recentAvengers: Doomsdayspeculation. Recently, a clip of Steinfeld at aSinnerspremiere went viral, and in the video she was seen nodding after someone asked her if she was going to be back for the nextAvengersmovie. Many fans took it as an accidental confirmation about Steinfeld being intheAvengers: Doomsdaycast, but the actress hasn’t commented on it since, either clarifying or denying the confirmation if she’s returning to the MCU.
In a new interview withBackstage, theHawkeyestar was asked about her plans to return to the MCU, asAvengers: Doomsdayis now in production. Steinfeld, without mentioningAvengers: Doomsday, made it clear that fans have not seen the last of the heroine, as she shared the following:
I’m excited about the idea of continuing to grow with a character like Kate, especially in something as huge as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You get to go back to your family; you get to go back to that little home that then becomes part of this grander picture. I love that character, and I totally understand why she is so loved.
What Hailee Steinfeld’s MCU Update Means For Kate Bishop
While Steinfeld wouldn’t give it away if she is part ofAvengers: Doomsday,it shouldn’t come as a surprise if Kate is indeed set to return for the 2026Avengersmovie. Even though Marvel Studios announced multiple cast members during their big surprise live stream, there will be more announcements forAvengers: Doomsday, according to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige. Given the large scope ofAvengers: Doomsday,it wouldn’t come as a shock if Steinfeld is one of the cast members that will be announced next.
Based on Steinfeld’s response,she clearly knows more than she is letting on about what is next for Kate in the MCU. At this point, sinceAvengers: Doomsdayis in production, whoever they intend to bring back for the Phase 6 installment is likely signed on by now, which would include someone like Steinfeld, since filming is set to start incredibly soon, if it hasn’t already. Therefore, it’s less about if she is back and more so when Marvel Studios will formally announce that Kate, and other MCU players, are joiningtheAvengers: Doomsdaycast.
Our Take On Hailee Steinfeld’s MCU Update About Kate Bishop
As cryptic as Steinfeld’s update was about Kate’s immediate future with the MCU,it would be really shocking if she was actually not inAvengers: Doomsdayat all. With the emerging threat ofRobert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom inAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars, the MCU will need to bring together as many heroes as possible. Hopefully, Steinfeld’s potential involvement inAvengers: Doomsdaywill be revealed sooner rather than later.
