Kate Bishop Watch Order: Every MCU Appearance

To watch Kate Bishop in order, start with Hawkeye: Season 1 and follow the 2 titles below in story order, ending (for now) with The Marvels. Kate Bishop goes from fangirl archer to Young Avengers recruit.

The releases run from 2021 to 2023. That works out to 1 film and 1 series season, about 6h 15m of viewing in all.

Who is Kate Bishop?

Kate Bishop was created by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung and first appeared in Young Avengers #1 in 2005. While Clint Barton was dead in the comics, she took up the Hawkeye name, becoming the first woman to use it. Matt Fraction and David Aja's acclaimed Hawkeye run then paired her with a living Clint as co-lead. She's an expert archer and fencer, and Kelly Thompson later gave her a solo series.

Hailee Steinfeld plays Kate in the MCU, and Clara Stack plays her as a child. She debuted in Hawkeye (2021), a Christmas-set series that begins a year after Avengers: Endgame. Kate has idolized Clint ever since he saved her life during the 2012 Battle of New York. When she ends up in the Ronin suit, she drags Clint into a fight with the Tracksuit Mafia that turns out to reach much closer to home than she expects.

Steinfeld has made one brief MCU appearance since. No follow-up project or Hawkeye season 2 has been confirmed yet.
