His posts came hours after E! News shared an image of Steinfeld holding a large bow as she followed Renner down subway station stairs. However, Steinfeld, Disney and Marvel have yet to comment on her casting.
Aside from Steinfeld, Florence Pugh, Vera Farmiga and Tony Dalton will also be appearing in the series. According to the report, Farmiga will portray Kate’s mother, Eleanor Bishop, while Pugh will play the spy Yelena Belova, the sister of Black Widow. Ryan Arcadio /ra
