Avengers Debate: Is Hailee Right for Doomsday Role?

When Marvel Studios unveiled the Avengers: Doomsday cast during a marathon five-hour livestream, fans were abuzz with speculation regarding surprise appearances. Today, those speculations have reached a fever pitch, with new rumors swirling around Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop.

Rumors and Hints: Is Kate Bishop Returning?

Recently, Hailee Steinfeld stirred the Marvel fandom during the Mexican premiere of her supernatural horror movie, Sinners. At the event, a fan threw out the burning question: would she be reprising her role as Kate Bishop in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday? A video snippet shared by @marvel_updat3s on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows Steinfeld seemingly nodding while signing autographs. This subtle gesture has ignited speculation that Kate Bishop might have a significant role in the upcoming ensemble.

Neither Marvel Studios nor Steinfeld herself has confirmed Bishop’s involvement in Avengers 5. Furthermore, there’s ambiguity around whether the nod was in response to the fan’s question. Given the energetic buzz of the premiere, she could have simply been acknowledging another unseen inquiry.

The Legacy of Kate Bishop in the MCU

Steinfeld debuted as Kate Bishop in 2021’s Hawkeye series. She then appeared in a brief cameo in 2023’s The Marvels post-credits scene, during which Kamala Khan, played by Iman Vellani, united with Bishop. This moment was speculated to be a lead-in for a Young Avengers project, which has since evolved into a series under the ‘Champions’ banner.

While this recent nod adds fuel to the rumor mill, it doesn’t conclusively confirm Bishop’s participation in Avengers: Doomsday. Nevertheless, more updates around this enigmatic sequel are expected in the forthcoming months. Set to hit theatres on May 1, 2026, fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting for more tidbits to emerge.
