While some Marvel fans felt the Hawkeye series got off to a slow start, many felt the show found its footing in the street-level storylines, and gritty action featured in the Clint Barton limited series. Opposite Jeremy Renner’s Barton, series standout and Marvel Cinematic Universe newcomer Hailee Steinfeld made her mark as Hawkeye protege, Kate Bishop.

The show also filled out the cast with some surprising actors that lit up the Twitter-verse. Adding fan-favorite Black Widow (2021) actress, Florence Plough as Yelena Belova — as well as the revival of Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) from the canceled Netflix Daredevil series — were examples of inspired, crowd-pleasing MCU stunt casting.
