I don’t mind the Hawkeye series not getting a second season! But Marvel, please keep exploring Kate Bishop as a character and putting her to good use 🙏🏽 !

As it becomes more clear that the MCU is trying to focus more on “quality over quantity,”, and is choosing to pay more attention towards projects they know will draw in more viewers due to their popularity. I just hope that they won’t forget about Kate Bishop and the potential she has to be one of the MCU’s major players, especially a talent like Hailee Steinfeld portraying the character!

I don’t care if she’s a supporting character for a while in another character’s movie or series, just as long as she is actively making appearances in the franchise and doesn’t become one of those characters that just disappears.

Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop has been my favorite performance for years now, but I have a feeling we won't see her again. She's pregnant now, a lot of time has passed, and the focus has shifted to the FF and soon the X-Men.

phred_6662026-01-23 22:57

Afraid she and Moon Knight are going to be two characters they end up dropping the ball on. I no longer have faith in Kevin Feige.

wasabinski2026-01-23 23:05

It's not that, I don't think the problem is Feige. They have way too many characters and even more coming in, so they have to make choices. We already got some Kate Bishop, some Moon Knight, Kamala Khan, now Wonder Man, and so on. I prefer some limited amount of good quality content instead of more quantity, when we have new characters and stories to explore. I'm personally very excited about a full reboot of X-Men and have this entirely new world.

phred_6662026-01-23 23:25

And that is exactly where I think Feige has dropped the ball. He has focused more on quantity than quality. Instead of taking characters and developing them, he just insists on introducing new characters and then abandoning them. Marvel has tons of characters. No need to develop all of them now. Focus on the core ones you have introduced and after they have run their course, bring in new ones and develop them. Don’t introduce characters just for the sake of introducing them.

megadroid_optimizer2026-01-24 00:11

Right now it’s a mess. Shang-Chi, She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Moon Knight and others benched for how many years now? And they’re about to play second fiddle to the OG Avengers. Damn, if I’m playing Captain American I guess I just got told someone else is doing my job now (sorry Anthony). I’m jot defending the Captain America movie but obviously, they have no faith in the new characters and have chosen to cast them aside.

phred_6662026-01-24 00:24

It took them 18 years to bring The Leader back in CABNW (a movie that would have been better with a better script). Anthony Mackie is fine as Cap, Marvel has failed him by not giving him better material to work with.

megadroid_optimizer2026-01-24 01:36

For sure! Watching the way they have defined Sam, I’m not sure they even want the character to have a personality- just too generic and non-offensive.

qcthunder2026-01-24 04:50

They have an opportunity to fix that. You'd think Old Cap solidified that at the end of Endgame, but they might need to have Chris Evans reinforce it again.

Shang-Chi: "Hey, Cap" in the general direction of Rogers and Wilson.

Both turn and walk toward him. Shang-Chi points at Wilson.

Wilson to Rogers: "It's me. I'm here. Deal with it."

Rogers: "Looks like you're giving the orders now, Captain."

*Nostalgia!*

This is why I don't write movies. I'll see myself out.

SeekerVash2026-01-24 01:33

>they have no faith in the new characters and have chosen to cast them aside.

That's because they failed at the box office or failed to gather viewers. Disney is a business, the goal is to generate a profit, these characters have demonstrated they cannot generate a profit.

But back on topic, it is strange that the few success stories they had on Disney+ like Kate Bishop are ignored.

Feige is definitely the problem at this point.

Ok-Word-53082026-01-24 06:14

Out of the newer characters you mentioned, Shang-Chi is the only one listed in the cast for Doomsday. It's a question how many minutes of screen time even he will get, though.

Sammyantoine2026-01-24 07:03

It still got know about what happened with Sharon Carter

Top_Star_38972026-01-24 18:30

I was hoping some of them like at least Moon Knight, Kate Bishop, and She-Hulk would be on Sam's Avengers team, remember when that was rumored for Captain America 4?

Aqua_Tot2026-01-24 00:17

It’s a combination of quantity over quality and also slowing down to try to ease up on Superhero Fatique. If we were at the breakneck release schedule of phase 3 for the last 6 years, then we could have had projects with all these characters they’ve introduced across multiple installments instead of just one each. It’s like, we’ve gotten almost nothing but origin stories for a long time and aren’t getting any payoff for that.

megadroid_optimizer2026-01-24 01:42

I’m super interested in how the post-Superhero box office looks like for Marvel. The big team up movies are likely to be successful but not at the range as pre-2020. With increased competition I’m hoping Marvel makes more unique stories but I still suspect James Gunn will beat them to it when it comes to uniqueness.

One example, I don’t love Peacemaker but it feels less predictable relative to the MCU. Peacemaker is a TV show and not a movie but I believe it’s also a demonstration of how open the DC universe is compared to Marvel.

wasabinski2026-01-24 01:30

I don't disagree, but playing devil's advocate I'd put the blame more on the Disney overlords pushing for more content for more revenue. And in the end, the reality is that Feige has to respond to that, and quality inevitably suffers.

phantom_avenger2026-01-24 01:58

>I think Feige has dropped the ball. He has focused more on quantity than quality.

Idk I feel like that was more on Disney than on Feige tbh. After the success of Endgame, and the company trying to make sure they had a lot of content for their new streaming platform with Disney+, they thought having a lot of Marvel content would bring in tons of subscribers!

This was during the short phase when Bob Chapek was the CEO before Bob Iger had to come back in and clean up his mess, and telling Feige to focus more on getting the quality in Marvel back on track rather than introducing so many characters to the point where it gets out of control and people no longer have interest in the franchise.

phred_6662026-01-24 02:05

The recent quality hasn’t been great either. *Deadpool and Wolverine” and “Thunderbolts* were pretty good, *Fantastic 4* was mid and “Captain America: Brave New World” had a lot of issues.

Smoking-Posing2026-01-24 02:23

I don't think thats quite it, per se, though it's definitely a factor.

Kate Bishop and Moon Knight are both "minor" characters portrayed by major actors who are expensive and "busy", as in you'd have to work around their schedules. You also have to have good stories to tell starring them, which isn't the easiest thing to conjure up.

All things considered, they (Feige/Disney) probably feel like they told their desired stories for both characters and its probably not worth it to pursue more solo projects for them at this time, and I don't disagree with that. IF they had/have solid plans for a Young Avengers project to debut soon then I'd say they dropped the ball with Kate Bishop, but time will tell.

Abraham_Issus2026-01-24 02:28

This exactly where he’s to be blamed.

romafa2026-01-24 02:30

I wish they’d utilize the special presentations more for this too. Make a special about some lesser-known/obscure character(s) for one-off story but with the possibility to bring them in again sometime down the road. Not every character needs a film or an entire series.

Fi1thyMick2026-01-24 03:47

That, and they decided they were making too many movies/shows too fast because a bunch of casual viewers suddenly weren't keeping up with the overarching universe. But at the rate they've switched to, actors will age out of availability before they get their stories told through

TheLiquor19462026-01-23 23:21

"I no longer have faith in Kevin Feige." has a Kevin Feige flair... lol

GoonbodyEmbodiment2026-01-23 23:30

Cuz he is Kevin Feige n no longer has any faith in himself.

Struggles real.

Slowandserious2026-01-24 00:21

“But doctor.. I *am* Kevin Feige”

drunkpunk1382026-01-24 00:47

I was under the impression moon knight was always going to just be a one off

clandahlina_redux2026-01-24 02:07

They dropped She-Hulk, too.

Tackit2862026-01-24 02:55

Feige isn’t the problem. Disney is.

Maatjuhhh2026-01-24 03:59

Also Blade and Hercules after teasing them.

SippinOnHatorade2026-01-24 04:35

Moon Knight was such a breath of fresh air in the MCU, real shame they didn’t lean into it

ubutterscotchpine2026-01-24 00:55

💀 thinking because a woman is pregnant that they can’t continue acting is wiiiiild. She’s literally at the height of her career. Was it a poor time to get pregnant, yeah, I’d say so. She’s only 29, at the height of her career, and has only been married for a year. But c’est la vie, I’m not her. Vanessa Kirby was whole ass pregnant WHILE filming Doom. Scarlett was pregnant while filming. Marvel can work around it.

But also, by the time Marvel get to Hawkeye 2 or introducing Kate and the younger guys, probably in Secret Wars, she’s not going to be pregnant anymore anyway. I’m guessing due date is around Marchish.

wasabinski2026-01-24 01:32

It's not that I think she can't act because she's pregnant. My assumption is that precisely because she's at the height of her career, along with the pregnancy, she might choose to do other things rather than MCU stuff.

MajorNoodles2026-01-24 02:16

It seems like she's taking a step back from acting lately. She did Sinners because she really wanted to work with Ryan Coogler, but in the last 8 years she's had ~~three~~ four starring live action roles: Hawkeye, Sinners, and Bumblebee, back in 2018. Everything else has been a cameo or voice acting.

Hefty_Relative_29022026-01-24 02:19

Scarlett Johansson was able to finish filming Avengers Age of Ultron while she was pregnant, so this should not be a problem for Hailee if she is in Avengers Doomsday

Reptilian_Overlord202026-01-24 01:41

Yeah I was really hyped when Ms Marvel met her and suggested a young Avengers but at this rate they’ll be the middle aged avengers by the time the movie comes out.

Any-Transition952026-01-24 04:05

I can't wait for an eventual Young Avengers/Champions project, but I doubt it'll ever be a movie. At most they'll get introduced as a side team in Secret Wars, and get their own standalone project on Disney+. It makes more sense since most of them were originally introduced on Disney+, and their target demographic is more suited for Disney+ than the big screen.

Blue_Robin_042026-01-24 01:44

Hailee Steinfeld was still interested in playing the character as recently as last year.

any-blue-91222026-01-24 01:51

I never even realized that this was Hailee Steinfield 😭

Current-Bowl-1432026-01-24 01:58

It’s a crying shame they didn’t do anything with her in the last 5 years. Her performance in Hawkeye was 100% the best thing about that series. She was amazing in every scene. I thought the series was just “okay” overall, but I was totally impressed by her.

Any-Transition952026-01-24 04:02

Her interactions with Yelena made the show worth watching. It's a crying shame Marvel Studios didn't capitalize on that budding friendship. Phase 4 and 5 were desperately lacking in teamups and crossover interactions, this pairing was one of the rare few that worked.

juliopeludo2026-01-24 06:23

wouldnt have been hard, thunderbolts could have easily had a part written in there where theyre on the run, need somewhere to lay low and yelena says she has a friend that could help...and then kat beeshop gets dragged into the movie along with the rest of them. easily couldve been part of the avengerz and couldve been for them, what clint was for the og avengers, a grounding factor for all the craziness and crap, someone to keep them in check mentally and help stabilize them

Blag242026-01-24 09:03

Could do it where it’s not even somewhere to just lay low, could use her apartment as a staging area before attacking Avengers tower.

Or Yelena could just bring her up to the penthouse in the post credits scene.

ftaok2026-01-24 14:51

I think it would be out of character for Yelena to drag Kate into that mess. I think she genuinely liked Kate and bringing her into Valentina’s orbit would not have been something that she would do.

KaneVel2026-01-24 12:24

She's been in the Disney+ animated series a bunch and appeared in a post credit scene at least once.

It's not a lot, but it's not nothing.

fart_fig_newton2026-01-24 14:15

Somewhere there's a part of the MCU where Kate Bishop, Shang Chi, and other forgotten characters meet up for karaoke and snacks.

5meoWarlock2026-01-24 15:01

The Eternals are all there but nobody talks to them

ampersands-guitars2026-01-24 02:51

Their biggest mistake was getting themselves in a position where we don't revisit characters for 5+ years now. That's not just because of the strikes, that's because of their release schedule. In the early MCU days, you wouldn't go more than 2 years without seeing Cap, Tony, Thor, etc. It created a sense of cohesion and familiarity with these characters that we don't have with the new ones.

kingdonut78982026-01-24 16:05

This has been my biggest problem with the mcu the last few years. They introduce characters, just abandon them, and then introduce even more characters. Kinda makes it feel not worth watching.

Sirsalley232026-01-24 19:10

Biggest offender currently is Shang-Chi, that was one of the best structured origin story movies they’ve ever done, it didn’t have the usual drag of 1-2 hours of backstory and the hero figuring themselves out doing day-to-day crime fighting type stuff, with a 15-30 minute rushed finale then credits. It actually did a great job of building the world, introducing the characters, Shang Chi’s background, all while not really dragging or dwelling on one plot point for too long.

And just because of politics and Simu’s comments on a specific country’s market that they bend over backwards for, we haven’t gotten another chance to revisit the character that should pretty much be a top 3 avenger with the way they set him up.

Ironsam8112026-01-25 07:39

I’ve rewatched it probably 3-4 times and it’s gotten to the point where I just get mad about how they wasted such an amazing franchise and talent.

GreenGoblinNX2026-01-25 04:26

There was also a shift with regards to what they teased in the mid/post credit scecnes. Early MCU, the things they teased were actually delivered on within the next couple of movies. But now they tease things that have a nebulous "might come someday"...and the majority of those teases just haven't payed off.

holygrail222026-01-26 03:29

“Not worth watching” hits the nail on the head. The whole reason the MCU took flight initially is because you were swiftly rewarded for watching everything. Characters kept popping up, had more explored about them, etc. It was quick enough that you remembered the key details and it truly felt cohesive

Now we go 5+ years without seeing characters and will be expected to remember everything about them

Darth_Tycho2026-01-24 20:06

Wong probably comes the closest to this 😭

He was in Dr. Strange (2016), Infinity War (2018), Endgame (2019), Shang-Chi (2021), No Way Home (2021), Dr. Strange 2 (2022), She-Hulk (2022) and What If (2021-2024)

Ok-Bake-35172026-01-24 21:27

Also marvel said they wont be doing 10 year sagas anymore. I think thats why it worked so well they had a 10 year plan

FriendlyDrummers2026-01-24 02:54

The only problem is that she may be too expensive for them now 😂 Not a lot of people watch the D+ shows, so I'm not certain many people are that connected to the actress+character.

Which, good for her. I'm so glad she was in sinners

WhatsPaulPlaying2026-01-24 04:23

Just honestly an absolute treasure as Kate. One of my favorite castings of recent Marvel.

RogerGunz22026-01-24 04:53

Wasn't she recruited to the Young Avengers or whatever? Are they bailing on that?

ChronoMonkeyX2026-01-23 21:09

The problem of Hawkeye S2 is Renner, who was very much considered done with the role, but after his accident it seems he isn't and doesn't want to pass the reigns to Steinfeld, or they were hesitant to do it without him because it would look like they dropped him because he was hurt. I don't know, but he was done and it should have happened by now.

I was 100% ready for a Kate-focused series with Jack as her new mentor, with a cameo or two from Clint. I love Clint and I love Renner, but his time was done and Kate has been wasted.

machinezed2026-01-23 21:53

Didn’t Renner say they offered him half of what he made in the first season. Saying he would come back if the price was right.

https://fandomwire.com/hawkeye-season-2-jeremy-renner-may-bid-farewell-after-mcus-low-offer/

ChronoMonkeyX2026-01-23 22:03

That was after the accident, I believe. Long before then, he was saying he was done with the role. If he did come back as a supporting character to Kate in the lead, a lower salary makes sense.

Before the accident and recovery, it was pretty clear he was done and any potential season 2 would be about Kate. The MCU is nothing if it can't grow and exist without the stars that made it, especially when Steinfeld's work is so well received. Renner should back off, but he can and is killing Kate by refusing to let go, and the people in charge are too cowardly to do what is needed, as evidenced by casting RDJ again.

Kate is not even a risk, especially with Jack on board.

Qwirk2026-01-24 00:23

I was a big fan of Renner but it seemed like they closed the book for his character at the end of that series. Dude was having all kinds of physical problems.

Who knows I guess.

ubutterscotchpine2026-01-24 00:56

I feel for Renner, I do, but Hawkeye S1 absolutely tied up Clint’s story and it’s ridiculous to try and wring more out of a story just because he wants to prove he can do it. Very plain example of ‘just because you could, doesn’t mean you should’.

ubutterscotchpine2026-01-24 00:57

SeekerVash2026-01-24 01:38

>and doesn't want to pass the reigns to Steinfeld

That's not how that works. Disney decides who fills that role, not Renner, there's no Renner passing reigns and he has no control or input on what gets made or who stars.

ChronoMonkeyX2026-01-24 02:23

If you think Disney isn't super attached to keeping a person on board who has already paid off so they will pay off again, you haven't looked at Doctor Doom.

As long as Renner says he *might* stay on as Hawkeye, Disney will sideline Kate.

OrdinaryLavishness112026-01-24 04:08

It’s reins btw. Reigns is the plural of reign.

Melodic-Cycle39942026-01-23 21:14

Would be fun if she pops up in doomsday and reunites with Yelena and goes to the thunderbolts

Ess_oh-no2026-01-24 01:12

Would be nice but theyve already established Kamala recruiting her as a young avenger

PayneTrain1819992026-01-24 01:36

At this point I wouldn’t mind if they canned the Young Avengers show and just have Kate/Kamala/Cassie team up with the New Avengers for Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Ess_oh-no2026-01-24 01:40

I agree, we dont want Iron heart back.

MrMono12026-01-24 07:59

At this point all the "Young Avengers" are older than Scarlett was during The Avengers.

Melodic-Cycle39942026-01-24 01:51

There's no way they are going to do a young avengers movie now since it took too long IMO

I also do believe we'll have like in endgame smaller groups rather than the big teams and you'll mix them in. Aka Kamala is probably going with the X-Men if Monica is there and I bet Yelena will make sure to look out for Kate

Wiccan and America Chavez probably stick with strange if he's there or stay with Sam

RihoSucks2026-01-23 21:25

Keep exploring Kate bishop? Im still waiting for them to START exploring Kate bishop!

Ordinary-Chain-80472026-01-23 21:39

I have a feeling she’ll be on Matt’s team in Born Again since she has fought Kingpin

bristow842026-01-23 22:47

I really hope she’s involved in Season 2 in some form. I mean hell, her (almost) stepfather is in captivity you would think she would try to find him.

PestoBolloElemento2026-01-23 22:58

She is pregnant, she won't be available for a while.

IshyMoose2026-01-24 00:27

Plenty of actors have acted while pregnant. Nothing a camera person and stuntwork can’t hide.

phantom_avenger2026-01-24 00:43

Didn't Scarlett Johansson film Avengers: Age of Ultron while pregnant?

bristow842026-01-24 01:36

She did and you really couldn’t even tell until the BTS videos.

SeekerVash2026-01-24 01:47

Not 8-9 months pregnant, which is roughly where Hailee will be when filming starts.

bristow842026-01-24 01:55

I’m not sure if my Reddit app is glitching and showing me your comment but you’re replying to a different one but are you referring to BAS2 with that timeline? They’ve already filmed it, that was done months ago.

phantom_avenger2026-01-24 01:34

If she's not included in Born Again in any capacity, even if it's a mention I'll be disappointed. Kate's mom worked for Fisk, and if he went after her step-father it would go without saying he would go after Kate too! Especially when he's well aware that she's a vigilante as well.

I know fans speculate she's out of the country with Kamala (and the other characters that are a part of their team, presumably), but it still would've been good to have Kingpin mention and asking his men about her whereabouts.

musickid202026-01-23 21:48

Unfortunately with Hailee now being pregnant I dont think we're gonna see her anytime soon which is so sad. I would love her dynamic with the new avengers, especially Ghost

blakhawk122026-01-23 21:54

A “Hawkeye and Black Widow” movie with Kate and Yelena would have killed.

black_metronome2026-01-23 23:31

I wanted this so badly.

PayneTrain1819992026-01-24 01:34

Or a show. Or a special presentation of them getting drinks after Kate suggested it in the finale.

Or giving them any screentime together in Marvel Zombies.

Fans of the pairing have been starving for 4 years.

wcruse922026-01-24 02:04

A buddy cop show with those two would have been amazing.

rhandy_mas2026-01-24 04:15

Screaming. It would be a masterpiece.

Exciting_Fennel_78062026-01-24 02:43

RustyRapeaXe2026-01-23 21:55

She has to console Josh Allen now.

PayneTrain1819992026-01-24 01:34

He needs it. Bro gets let down by his team every year.

wcruse922026-01-24 02:05

Who threw those turnovers? His team?

Marc_Quill2026-01-24 05:46

and in the case of this year, himself.

Amon77772026-01-23 21:57

Agree wholeheartedly, but I think the proposed young avengers is pretty much DOA at this point. Kate, Yelena, and Kamala would have been amazing as core members of that team but I think between actual ages, and how long it’s taken, I’m unsure we’ll see any together again other than supporting roles.

ubutterscotchpine2026-01-24 00:57

Yelena was 30 when she came back from the blip and is now 33 lmao. She would have never been a young avenger.

PayneTrain1819992026-01-24 01:35

Could’ve been their “cool auntie” lol.

DatguyWhoPlays2026-01-23 22:07

I would definitely take more Kate Bishop

NIntenDonnie2026-01-23 22:23

She isn't getting any *Young*er (Avengers) either...

PestoBolloElemento2026-01-23 22:59

Yup and Mrs Steinfield is pregnant so she is not available for some time.

kwickedbonesc2026-01-23 22:31

Hailee Steinfeld is too good of an actress to not utilize, if they do nothing else with her I’ll consider it one of marvels biggest mistake/missed opportunity.

PestoBolloElemento2026-01-23 22:56

The ''issue'' is that she is pregnant so she won't be available for a while.

megadroid_optimizer2026-01-24 00:14

I don’t think anything was planned for her anyways. If she had a Marvel show/movie coming up, I think she would’ve prioritized that. Hollywood is a very ambitious industry.

Ess_oh-no2026-01-24 01:11

Idk why nobody is talking about this but she was literally in the post credit scene of the marvels, recruited by Kamala into a new team. That seems like a plan to me, theyre about to follow on from the X-Men universe post credit scene from that same movie, Monica is with Beast and will come back when we next see him. Kamala will also come back eventually and when we next see her, she'll have her team of Young Avengers

phantom_avenger2026-01-24 01:31

Yeah but since most of the characters on that team are pretty much adults now, they can't really go by "Young Avengers" and it'll probably be "Champions"

ubutterscotchpine2026-01-24 00:58

Vanessa Kirby was pregnant WHILE filming Doomsday so lmao. What? Scarlett filmed multiple things while being pregnant. Surprise! A lot of women are pregnant in movies you’ve watched without even realizing! Regardless, she’s likely due by March at the latest so.

Subject-Ad50712026-01-23 22:36

That awkward moment you realize it’s been five years and they have barely did anything with her.

Subject-Ad50712026-01-23 22:40

People on this reddit need to stop BSing that it’s quality over quantity… the quality hasn’t gone up.

RavenEffect6662026-01-23 23:29

I think they are implying that the focus became quantity OVER quality because they introduced a ridiculous amount of characters and basically did nothing with them afterward.

black_metronome2026-01-23 23:33

I thought Thunderbolts and F4 were really good but I'm meh on Marvel in general right now outside of Spider-Man 4

Hawkeye is one of the best of the marvel tv series, by far. No season 2 sucks

She was in the end credit of the marvels with Kamala asking her to be on her new kid avengers team. I know end credits don’t always play out (especially since they are resetting everything apparently) but it gives me home we’ll see more of her. With Billy and Tommy too

ConjugalVisitor2342026-01-23 23:30

Agreed. Put Hailee in everything.

bradclark20012026-01-23 23:42

We shouldn't be going 5 years without seeing Marvel characters on our screen tbh

redhoodj032026-01-24 00:01

I know Jeremy Renner was Hawkeye for a long time but, casting hailee and then not making the next season about her was huge loss. Renner could've cameo'd or popped up for advice over video call or something. I mean its fuckin hailee stenfield and she's huge star now a days. Marvel/Disney dropped the ball in so many places.

outerheavenboss2026-01-24 00:06

Marvel fumbled so many great characters this past two phases that it’s actually hilarious

infel2no2026-01-24 00:09

Imagine a movie that reunite Shang-shi, Kate and Yelena. It would have been so fun

phantom_avenger2026-01-24 01:36

At least we know for a fact that Shang-Chi will be making a comeback in the Avengers movies, along with Yelena!

I just need confirmation from Marvel that we'll see Hailee Steinfeld make a comeback as Kate Bishop as well

Kolegra2026-01-24 00:21

She doesn't need to apprentice under Hawkeye anymore, she's good in that capacity. She should train under someone else, like the New Avengerz

phantom_avenger2026-01-24 00:45

I wanna see her team up with Jessica Jones next!

I think Hailee Steinfeld and Krysten Ritter would have amazing chemistry!

Kolegra2026-01-24 01:41

Linking up with the Defenders crew sounds good too

TylerHyena2026-01-24 00:39

More Kate Bishop

Or “Keet Beeeshupp” as Yelena would say.

Zubi_Q2026-01-24 00:43

It's so sad how the MCU has really dropped the ball over the mast few years. So many amazing characters introduced and the next hole of seeing them will be in Doomsday and that is already stacked

CarelessTaco2026-01-24 00:54

So many characters and storylines that have been forgotten! I was curious and excited to see what they do with Jon Snow

Ok-Average-64662026-01-24 00:58

Young Avengers. We have the characters. Marvel Zombies was a nice template. Honestly should've been how we did Secret Invasion with Skrulls from another universe which adds stakes because we really don't know who they are plus you can bring in Carol, who brings in Mendolsohn. Captain Marvel 2 instead of the Marvels, Carol has found a home for the Skrulls. These multiverse Skrulls are the evil ones we get from the comics are introduced in CM2 Caroland Mendolsohn go to Fury and he goes to Sam. They form a patchwork Avengers team because they have to sort through the Skrulls from the real ppl. Maybe bring back a Skrull version of Natasha. This causes tension with Yelena who maybe doesn't like a choice Sam makes and that setups up her forming her own Avengers team in Thunderbolts.

Have Monica end up in the X men verse because her powers help her close a portal when they send the bad Skrulls back.

vomit-gold2026-01-24 01:05

Because of Thunderbolts, her and Yelena now live super close to each other and I really want Marvel to take advantage of that.

Bigemptea2026-01-24 01:17

I wish they did an Avengers in Phase 4. It would’ve been great to see the newly introduced characters like Kate doing something.

PoorLifeChoices8112026-01-24 02:34

Hawkeye s2 was really the only thing I was genuinely looking forward to other than DDs2 so getting half of my hype cut off like that makes things really sour for me.

But yeah I agree I hope they at least continue to explore Kate Bishop. She’s in my top favorite characters

Horbigast2026-01-24 02:41

Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh had such wonderful chemistry, I was really disappointed that Kate Bishop wasn't in Thunderbolts*.

ChaoticCaptain1772026-01-24 02:44

Hailee as Kate Bishop is peak casting and there's more to do with the character. I need more Kate, I don't care what project she appears in next

AdvertisingWaste86242026-01-24 02:47

Yelena and Kate Bishop: The macaroni

Yelena and Kate Bishop, must uncover the secret ingredients hidden within macaroni, while also battling a dangerous new enemy, who is only known as The One Fork.

Coilspun2026-01-24 02:59

Way too many better, established characters to be spending screentime on.

AudiA102026-01-24 03:03

kate bishop is guy bro

serger9892026-01-24 03:16

In my opinion Marvels biggest blunder post Endgame has been not utilizing Shang Chi and Kate Bishop beyond their introductions.

cellcube06182026-01-24 03:16

She reprised her role in Marvel Zombies, it was great

bfp19742026-01-24 03:30

It feels criminal how little they use her.

Fi1thyMick2026-01-24 03:44

She already should've been in thunderbolts
Marvel somehow went from can't go wrong to can't get it right. She and Yelena had great chemistry and work the Hawkeye black widow relationship

I was wondering how a post that's just a reaction to another post from less than an hour earlier already had as many comments as the first one, but then I looked through & figured out why: Half of them are just people saying the same 2-3 things over & over again.

D-anieltttt2026-01-24 06:23

Give me a black widow and Hawkeye show but it’s Yelana and Kate

KlausKinki772026-01-24 07:06

Yelena and Kate were so funny together.
