The Marvel Cinematic Universe is close to debuting its latest superhero with Kate Bishop. The Hawkeye Disney+ series will feature Clint Barton’s adventures with Kate, as the latter looks to prove herself to her idol and eventually take on the mantle of Hawkeye herself.

The reaction to Hailee Steinfeld’s role as Kate has been unanimously positive and the best way to learn about this is through fan tweets on Twitter. As the MCU fandom goes, many have used memes as a way of voicing their approval for Steinfeld’s imminent arrival. Checking out these reactions gets the hype for Kate Bishop going and is a funny way to welcome her into the MCU.

10 She Hasn’t Quite Perfected It Yet

The face-off between Yelena Belova and the heroes is a storyline fans have been waiting for in Hawkeye, although most thought Kate would look cooler in the actual battle. This fan jokes that Kate attempted to join the epic pose club of the MCU heroes to mixed results.

The trailer didn’t make her out to be a badass as it did with Clint Barton, but it’s clear that this is a setup for Kate’s eventual turn as the new Hawkeye, as is the usual formula for an MCU series.

9 We’re All Hawkeye

Kate’s role in taking up the mantle of MCU’s ace archer is a fact that fans have known all along for Hawkeye, yet the first glimpse of her in action is enough to make everyone in the fandom lose it. Her presentation has been such that many fans have already taken to complimenting her costume.

As this tweet shows, this fan claims to be feeling their inner Kate Bishop, and watching the trailer allowed them to truly express themselves. Hawkeye is a character that many can relate to, as a superhero who is more believable, and Kate’s appearance certainly cements this notion further.

8 That’s Relatable

Prior to the trailer’s release, one of the most frequent questions about Hawkeye was how Kate’s personality would fit in with Clint’s. It has now been confirmed that they’re pretty much the same, and the two didn’t even need to talk.

It seems as if Kate will be like Clint in the “reaction to danger department,” which means falling down and groaning in pain. It gives off a very relatable vibe for Hailee Steinfeld’s character since being vulnerable is something fans can understand.

7 The Next Generation Is A Bit Sloppy

Kate and Yelena should be a perfect fit based on their introductory appearances. In Black Widow, Yelena fumbled around a lot and her reactions to dangerous situations were priceless. Kate doesn’t appear to be too dissimilar.

This fan imagines a scenario where Kate and Yelena will meet in Hawkeye using stills from the Disney+ series and the latter’s scenes in Black Widow. All things considered, it would be a hilarious way for them to encounter each other by crashing and falling around.

6 She’s The Plot

The announcement of Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop was a win for Marvel in itself, as her fanbase is automatically roped in for the Disney+ series. It doesn’t get more simple than this tweet when it comes to understanding why, with this fan claiming that Steinfeld is all the reason needed to watch the show.

Kate Bishop had plenty of fans even before Hawkeye premiered, which is an easy indication of the series’ future success. It also helps that the trailer did a splendid job in establishing Kate as a determined, flawed, and funny hero.

5 Who Needs Hawkeye?

Although there are plenty of potential plotlines for Hawkeye to depict, its supporting characters have allowed the series to gain traction. Along with Kate herself, this fan claims that just about everyone other than Hawkeye himself has got them hyped.

Kate’s mother, Lucky the Pizza Dog, and Yelena are all going to interact with Kate in the series, meaning she already has an established set of characters who will illustrate her personality. It’s always exciting when new protagonists are introduced, and even more so when they’ve got fans geared up to witness their chemistry with the supporting cast.

4 Not Quite Living Up To The Name Yet

A hilarious moment during the Hawkeye trailer is when Kate is surprised by how dangerous Clint’s arrows are. She earlier claimed to be the best archer there is, only to then demonstrate just how much of a novice Clint makes her appear to be.

Although the scene is played for laughs, it also does a good job of confirming that Kate will be learning all about the different types of arrows that Clint possesses. Watching her train in all styles of archery is just one of the main hooks that has fans wanting to check Kate out in the series.

3 This Is What Young Heroes Are Like

The Avengers have been around for a decade and it’s refreshing to see young blood in their ranks. Shang-Chi and Peter Parker have proven that it’s exciting to see such characters, while Kate will no doubt bring in her own kind of energy.

Keeping up with Hailee Steinfeld’s inclination towards selfies, this fan thinks Kate will be the same where taking pictures is concerned. Steinfeld did share a selfie of her role before the trailer dropped, so it’s possible this is a trait the character has as well.

2 Isn’t That A Surprise

A meme from Scooby-Doo of Fred unmasking the most obvious suspect is commonly applied for a variety of different franchises. This one has Clint taking on Fred’s role to find Kate masquerading as him, which is what the trailer was going for.

Kate will be taking on the Ronin persona that Clint went by before the Avengers convinced him to join the Time Heist, and he was bemused to learn that a novice he didn’t even know was the copycat. It’s more than likely that the relationship between the duo will be similarly comedic.

1 Need To Work On The Superhero Pose

Kate is going to be a constant work in progress by the looks of her early appearance. While she managed to get the superhero pose right a few times, there was a couple of instances where this didn’t come out as intended.

This fan compiled a few of Hailee Steinfeld’s pictures in the role, not bothering to point out that the third one is clearly meant to allude to Kate’s inexperience. She still has time to work on this aspect, although her initial role is going to feature her as more of a parody of Hawkeye before she becomes the real deal.
