Did Hailee Steinfeld just confirm her return as Kate Bishop in the Avengers with a single nod?

Send Push
Josh Allen may dominate on the football field, but his fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld , is making headlines of her own. The actress, fresh off the promotion of her upcoming thriller Sinners, recently sparked massive speculation among Marvel fans with a simple gesture—one that may have just confirmed her return as Kate Bishop in the Avengers franchise.

Hailee Steinfeld’s subtle reaction at a press event sets the internet on fire
During a press event for Sinners, a fan asked Steinfeld a direct question: "Will we see Kate Bishop in the Avengers?" The actress didn’t say a word—but she nodded. Briefly. Maybe even unintentionally. But that tiny motion was enough to send the internet into a frenzy.



The power of a nod: Fans believe Kate Bishop is back

The video clip of Steinfeld’s nod quickly went viral, with fans across social media dissecting every frame. "Her face of instant regret, she's 100% in it," one fan posted. Others pointed out that she may have inadvertently confirmed her involvement in upcoming Marvel projects, such as Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Secret Wars (2027).

Steinfeld was noticeably absent from the official cast list of Avengers: Doomsday, a surprising omission given the setup for the Young Avengers in previous films. However, her nod—whether accidental or deliberate—has reignited speculation that she will play a key role in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe .

Marvel remains silent, but fans won’t let it go
As expected, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has remained tight-lipped about the rumors. "We reveal things when they're ready," he told Entertainment Weekly last month. "Not before." But that hasn’t stopped fans from analyzing every possible clue. Reddit threads, TikTok videos, and Twitter discussions have all been flooded with theories about Steinfeld’s potential return.

Steinfeld’s growing influence in Hollywood is undeniable. Between her lead role in Sinners and her possible future as a major MCU star, she is proving she’s just as much of an MVP as her fiancé, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. While Allen is focused on another shot at a Super Bowl, Steinfeld is at the center of one of the biggest Marvel mysteries in recent years.

Whether the nod was intentional or not, one thing is certain—fans are convinced that Kate Bishop is coming back. Now, all that’s left is for Marvel to make it official.
