Marvel’s Hawkeye kicked off production in New York this week, with the first set photos confirming the long-rumoured casting of Hailee Steinfeld in the role of young archer Kate Bishop, and now we have word on more of the supporting cast set to feature alongside Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton in the Disney+ series.
