While it’s true that the trend of actors and actresses being strictly television or movie talents is diminishing, Steinfeld’s rare television credits may indicate this role comes with future roles in Avengers films and other MCU features.
If she accepts the role of Kate Bishop, Hawkeye will be the second television series that she’d be joining, with the other being Apple’s upcoming series Dickinson.
That would make sense considering a bulk of Hailee Steinfeld’s Hollywood experience comes from the world of film, and not television.
