Hawkeye Premiere Recap and Review: Hailee Steinfeld Hits the Bullseye as Kate Bishop

Hailee Steinfeld hits a bullseye as Kate Bishop, the MCU’s latest bad-ass heroine. Hawkeye introduces her as Clint Barton’s (Jeremy Renner) eager protégé. The six episode limited series takes place during a bustling New York City Christmas two years after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Hawkeye has a decidedly personable and whimsical feel. It’s action-packed with a younger, hipper and more upbeat outlook on superhero adventures; which is a welcome breath of fresh air to the heavier themes of Marvel’s Disney+ predecessors.
