Hailee Steinfeld opens up about finally being back to work after the pandemic halted productions for months.
The 23-year-old actress and singer was first seen on set of the Hawkeye series in early December in New York City.
During a recent interview for season two of Dickinson, Hailee admitted she wasn’t sure if Hawkeye was going to happen yet.
“It’s so wonderful to be back at work. I feel so grateful. It’s been a very crazy year of not knowing if that was gonna happen for a while. So happy to be back at work and I’m excited to be playing this character. It’s gonna be really fun. I’m excited for people to see it. I’m excited to see it,” she told Fandom.
“It’s amazing to finally be able to confirm. It’s such an honor, my goodness, to be playing this role. I’m so, so excited about it,” she added about finally being able to talk about the role after Disney and Marvel officially announced her casting.
If you missed it, Hailee recently opened up about how they’re interpreting the character of Kate Bishop!
“I’m working with some incredible filmmakers that are helping me bring her to life,” she toldET. “I can’t wait for people to see how we are interpreting this character through the comics and in our own sort of ways.”
“She’s such a badass, there’s no denying that. She’s so smart and witty and quick and her physical ability to do so many things is through the roof. It’s really tested me and it’s kept me going through quarantine, I will say. It’s given me a reason to stay with it,” Hailee added.
“I’m just very excited as I continue developing her to see sort of how we come up with it all,” she shared.
While they have been filming in New York City this year, the show isn’t expected to be out on Disney+ until late 2021.

Also spotted on set that night were Vera Farmiga and Tony Dalton, marking the first time they’ve been seen on set. It looks like it may have been a Christmas party scene based on all the decorations.
Vera is playing Eleanor Bishop, the mother of Hailee‘s character Kate Bishop, while Tony is playing Jack Duquesne, who is believed to be a take on an early mentor to Hawkeye.
If you didn’t know, Kate made her first appearance in the Marvel comics in 2005 as part of the Young Avengers. She is the third person and first female to take on the role of Hawkeye.
Pictured in the gallery here, you can see Jeremy handing Hailee an arrow, which is very symbolic, as Kate is said to be taking over for Clint Barton as Hawkeye at some point.
Also in the photos, we get a glimpse at Aleks Paunovic, best known for his work in the Van Helsing series, who was seen in costume as a member of the Tracksuit Mafia!

The 23-year-old actress was seen filming with co-star Jeremy Renner for Avengers spinoff Disney+ TV series called Hawkeye on Tuesday (December 8) in New York City.
The series is based on the Marvel Comics superhero Hawkeye, centering on the adventures of Young Avenger Kate Bishop, who took on the role after the original Avenger, Clint Barton.
One day before, the two stars were seen filming in Times Square in front of the Disney Store, which could be some perfect product placement considering that the show will be streaming on Disney+ when it premieres.
Hailee and Jeremy encountered some of the character impersonators in Times Square, and it looks like Clint Barton (Renner) and Kate Bishop (Steinfeld) were a bit cut up and bruised in the shot.

The day before, the pair, who are playing Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Kate Bishop in the series, were seen filming in another part of the city in the same outfits.
