Hailee Steinfeld on Hawkeye

It’s safe to say that Hailee Steinfeld has nailed the role of Kate Bishop in the new Disney+ series Hawkeye. The show centers around the young archer and her mentor, Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton, and Steinfeld is doing a perfect job of bringing Bishop to life. The actress has been opening up about her character and why she loves working with Renner and the rest of the cast on the series.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Steinfeld opened up about the first time she met with her co-stars and producers on the project and how excited she was to work with everyone. The actress says that she was “blown away” by the talent of her cast and crew, as well as how much fun it is to work on the series. “I still can’t find the words to describe just how incredible it feels,” she reveals. “It is a dream come true to be able to do this work.”

During the filming of the new Marvel series, Steinfeld and Renner developed a special bond that was very similar to their characters’ relationship on screen. They had a great deal of fun and chemistry with each other, which is clear in their portrayals of the two archers on the show. The Pitch Perfect 2 star and her fellow Avengers star have a really funny, playful relationship on the show that fans are loving so far.

It seems that Steinfeld’s hard work is paying off, as the series has already landed several Emmy nominations. The show has been nominated in the Outstanding Comedy Series category and is up against shows like Atlanta and Fuller House, among others. While it’s too early to know whether the show will win, the nominations are definitely a good sign that it will be popular with viewers and will have a chance at winning big.

Hailee Steinfeld has been showing off behind-the-scenes photos from the filming of the new Hawkeye series on social media. The Pitch Perfect 2 star has been posting shots of herself in costume and holding her character’s bow and arrow. Steinfeld has also been sharing snaps of herself with the rest of her cast, including Florence Pugh, who plays Black Widow.

The Disney+ series stars Jeremy Renner as the fan-favorite character Clint Barton and Steinfeld as his younger protege, Kate Bishop. The series was filmed in New York City and is set for release in Fall 2021. The cast is rounded out by Vera Farmiga, Francia Raisa, Rhys Thomas, Tony Dalton and Zahn McClarnon.

The new Marvel TV series has a very different feel to it than most of the other MCU series. It has a lighter, more family-friendly tone, and while it leans on a lot of lore from the MCU’s past, it’s not overly high-concept or gritty. Quick-witted banter is thrown around just as frequently as Molotov cocktails and cozy homes are more common than high-tech HQs.
