It looks like things are getting real with Disney+ and its take on Hawkeye. Earlier this year, fans learned Marvel Studios and Disney were bringing a live-action TV series to life focused on the Avengers archer. With Jeremy Renner starring, Hawkeye confirmed its plans to bring in Kate Bishop as a co-lead, and a new report says Disney has found its heroine. Hailee Steinfeld is said to have been offered the role, and as you might have guessed, social media has lots to say about the move.

For those of you out of the loops, Variety came out with a new report today connecting the Oscar-nominated actress to Hawkeye. The trade says Steinfeld is the choice talent to bring Kate to life opposite Renner’s Clint Barton.
At this time, there is no word on whether Steinfeld has accepted the offer. Reports says the actress is being eyed currently, so there are certainly talks still going on behind the scenes. However, fans do admit they’re impressed by the casting decision given Steinfeld’s stellar resume and star power.
As you can see below, fans were quick to hit up Twitter to share their feelings about the casting. A good slew of Marvel fans are excited to see how this talented actress would bring Kate to life, and Steinfeld’s fanbase agrees the gig would be a good fit. After all, the actress recently dipped her toes into the Transformers franchise with Bumblebee, and her work was praised by critics. Now, the next series to get a hold of Steinfeld might be the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and fans are geeking out over her hopeful addition.
So, what do you think of this Hawkeye casting? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!

All the Banter
As much as I would have liked Lila Barton as the next #Hawkeye, I am down with Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop if she and Renner would spend the entire movie bantering ala Witch Hunters + Edge of Seventeen.
