Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop is PERFECT casting. That's it. That's THE Tweet. I always figured she'd be in the MCU at some point but my dummy predictions didn't expect her for this role. #Hawkeye was shaping up nicely but THIS is the ace in the hole. https://t.co/QG0vj3T0Qu

I like #HaileeSteinfeld for the part of the Kate Bishop #Hawkeye. She has the look from the source material, she's got the physique (athletic) and she is an amazing actress.

Am I the only one disappointed about this @HaileeSteinfeld rumour re: Kate Bishop? @DCComics don’t let her get away, she was meant to play Batgirl! pic.twitter.com/lC6W5tBecp

@HaileeSteinfeld as #KateBishop is literally my favorite casting decision since @VancityReynolds as Deadpool

Unpopular opinion, I'd rather not have Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop.

@MarvelStudios @Marvel Dear Mr. Marvel. Please cast @HaileeSteinfeld as #KateBishop already. Just give her the job don't even audition her, trust me this is the way to go. I'll pay for her salary personally if you want to, just let us have this.
