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.
