In the Season 2, Episode 2 of Champions Casters, Michael and Joe continue to play holiday catchup by talking about Kate Bishop from the Disney+ Hawkeye series, performed by Hailee Steinfeld. One might think this is a good opportunity to talk about Clint Barton, but one might not remember Clint's character well because it wasn't written consistently. So instead we are talking about Michael's new crush, Kate Bishop. After all, she--too--is Hawkeye (it's not as confusing as you might think). This week's Champion comes from humble roots--a rooftop penthouse in the upper east side of Manhattan. She was inspired by the previous Hawkeye during the events of The Avengers (2012) to take up archery, eventually becoming the world's greatest archer. Kate has a lot of energy and really wants to prove herself to Clint, but she'll need to learn that with great trick arrows, comes great responsibility. Kate Bishop is a bright spot in this new era of the MCU and we are excited to tell you why.
