Currently, Marvel has not cast an actress in the role; however, Hailee Steinfeld was previously in talks. Jonathon Igla who has previously worked on Mad Men and Pitch is writing the series.

Hawkeye is part of the first group of shows Marvel is launching for Disney+. The original plan was for them to start rolling out in the fall of 2020, but the spread of COVID-19 caused work on some to be delayed. As of now, the plan is for WandaVision and Loki to premiere in Spring 2021, then Hawkeye. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s release date is currently unknown.
