Marvel's Hawkeye Press Conference

During the press conference for Marvel's Hawkeye, lots was revealed.

Hailee Steinfeld Did Not Audition For Kate Bishop

Feige explains that Marvel was very, very lucky that Hailee was open to coming in as Kate Bishop because they believed they needed her for the role. “She was the prototype for the character," he added.

We were very thankful that she wanted to jump into this role because we had a feeling that she would be great. And she is."

- Kevin Feige

Clint Barton's Superpower Is Fatherhood

Jeremy Renner explains that this show will inform the audience what Clint’s real superpower is, and that is being a father. It is the anchor, and the base, to all of his emotional steadfastness, actionability, and relatability. 

I think any parent that’s a very involved and amazing parent is a superhero in their own right. It is a tremendous honor and a gift. And the most difficult thing any human can go through.” 

- Jeremy Renner

Clint Barton & Kate Bishop's Relationship

Hailee Steinfeld explains that it was very fun figuring out the evolution of Kate and Clint's relationship. Kate sees Clint as a mentor, much like she sees Jeremy Renner.

Ultimately there’s a really true friendship there and an understanding. Kate sees Clint as someone, despite his past, as someone who wants to do good and wants to help people."

- Hailee Steinfeld

The First Thing Jeremy Told Hailee

Hailee explains that the very first thing Jeremy Renner told her about this role, is that she would never shoot a real arrow. Something she says honestly had not occurred to her.

Is Yelena Coming For Clint?

When asked about Yelena, Jeremy Renner gave a very coy answer. He is aware that Yelena is after Clint, he hopes that gets settled, & that's all he can say. 

Initial Thoughts On First Two Episodes

Hawkeye is PERFECT. 15 minutes in & I was a sobbing mess. Feels the most MCU of the Marvel shows with action & story. Great Kate Bishop introduction but also the show Clint deserves. SO MANY COMIC NODS! 

Marvel's Hawkeye comes to Disney+ on November 24th.
