Add one more to the list of confirmed actors set to appear in Marvel’s next big Avengers movies with Hailee Steinfeld.
Watch the video below where the actress who stars in Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners is asked if we are going to see Kate Bishop in Avengers. At the premiere in Mexico for Sinners, Steinfeld smiles and nods her head yes. Sinners gets released on April 18.
Update: She also told Backstage 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.”

Young Avengers or Champions?
The last we saw of Kate Bishop was in that post-credit scene with Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel in The Marvels where the two seemingly formed the Young Avengers. Rumors offer the actors are now too old and will go by “Champions.”
Leaked concept art
Leaked Marvel concept art also revealed Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop along with Star-Lord, Wong, Cassie Lang, Ms. Marvel, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, and Doop from the X-Men. However, the Russos have stated it’s not from their Avengers movies, so it’s likely, the concept art may have been done prior to the Russos jumping back on board the MCU.
Avengers: Doomsday? Secret Wars?
What is unknown is if Hailee Steinfeld will be appearing in Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, or even both films.
Last week saw the big announcement by Marvel about the cast of Doomsday, however, Steinfeld. Following the cast reveal, both Robert Downey Jr. and the official Marvel Studios social media accounts did tease more actors, so of course, there could be room for Steinfeld to return from her role in the Disney+ Hawkeye series as Kate Bishop.
