Hawkeye star Hailee Steinfeld has once again picked up her bow and arrow.
On her Instagram story, Steinfeld posted both a behind-the-scenes photo and video of her archery training for her role as Kate Bishop. The first photo features a target full of several arrows accompanied by the caption, "It's been a minute...," possibly suggesting that that the Marvel Disney+ show is currently going through reshoots. The other post is a short, close-up video of an arrow caught in the seam of the target bag, presumably shot by Steinfeld herself.
Behind-the-scenes photos released in February 2021 featured Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, who is set to become Hawkeye in her own right throughout the new Marvel television series, showing off her archery skills, as well as her classic purple and black costume. The series began filming in December 2020, with Jeremy Renner announcing his last day on set in April 2o21.
Marvel recently announced that Hawkeye would premiere on Disney+ on Nov. 24, starring Steinfeld in her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Kate Bishop, alongside Renner's Clint Barton/Hawkeye, who will serve as a mentor to the newcomer.
Renner, who has played Hawkeye in the MCU since 2012's Avengers, revealed some information about Kate Bishop's backstory in a recent interview, saying that the 22-year-old character is one of Barton's biggest fans. "She has a wonderfully annoying and equally charming manner about her, because she's such a fangirl of Hawkeye," Renner said. "The relationship grows from that, but the biggest problem for Clint is Kate Bishop and the onslaught of problems that she brings into his life."
Steinfeld's archery skills can be seen when Hawkeye premieres on Disney+ Nov. 24.
