Hailee Steinfeld isn’t confirming anything about Kate Bishop‘s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least not yet. The actor gave a brief, noncommittal answer when asked whether she will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, leaving fans to speculate about her possible return.
Hailee Steinfeld says ‘time will tell’ when asked about Avengers: Doomsday returnDuring a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Steinfeld was pressed on whether she is returning as Kate Bishop in Avengers: Doomsday. Her response was short and offered no clarity: “I have no idea, time will tell.”

That response lands as the film’s cast remains incomplete. The Russo brothers have said Avengers: Doomsday still holds back names, even after Marvel revealed a sprawling lineup. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are expected back as Deadpool and Wolverine. Reports also point to the “Latverian Witches” being familiar MCU faces.
Recent evidence has only intensified the chatter. The SCREENX trailer for Avengers: Doomsday may have confirmed another unannounced character. The format displays more footage to the sides of the frame than a standard presentation, and eagle-eyed viewers believe one scene takes place inside Kate Bishop’s apartment.
That scene shows Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) sharing an emotional moment with his daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton). The location appears to match Kate Bishop’s apartment, last seen in Hawkeye. The connection may trace back to a post-credits scene in The Marvels, where Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) visits Kate Bishop to recruit her for a new team. Kamala mentions that “Ant-Man has a daughter,” referring to Cassie, which suggests the pair may travel to California to recruit her for the Young Avengers, or perhaps the Champions.
After all, the announced roster still skips several Phase 4 to 6 heroes, including Bishop, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, Scarlet Witch, and Doctor Strange, which keeps return rumors alive. So, Hailey Steinfeld’s answer leaves Kate Bishop’s Avengers: Doomsday future unconfirmed. Until Marvel says otherwise, “time will tell” stands as the only official word.
