- Quick Answer: Expanded footage in the ScreenX trailer shows Ant-Man in Kate Bishop’s apartment, heavily hinting at her return alongside the Young Avengers.
Marvel Studios has dropped a new Avengers: Doomsday ScreenX trailer, and it seemingly confirms the return of Young Avenger Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld).
Last seen in the post-credits scene of The Marvels, Kate was in her apartment when Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) showed up to recruit her for a new team. Kamala even asked her about Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), who is also confirmed to appear in Doomsday.
So, will Kate indeed return, and what role could she play in Doomsday?
Is Kate Bishop in Avengers: Doomsday?
The new Avengers: Doomsday ScreenX trailer gives viewers an expanded view of the film; thus, it comes with additional details that have never been seen before.
This time, Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), is seen embracing his daughter, Cassie, and they appear to be standing in Kate Bishop’s apartment. You can watch the full trailer in ScreenX format below:
If true, this just confirms the claims that the Young Avenger is making her return in Doomsday.
While Marvel Studios has yet to confirm the tease, her room’s appearance lines up with the end of The Marvels, where Kamala Khan approaches Kate to start assembling a young generation of heroes.
And long before this hint, industry insiders and rumors have strongly suggested Kate’s return in the new Avengers movie, alongside other young heroes like Ms. Marvel and Cassie Lang. These three are believed to play supporting roles in the biggest upcoming MCU crossover movie.
What Will Be Kate Bishop’s Role in Avengers: Doomsday?
Serving as a champion archer and protégé, Kate Bishop is set to be the successor to Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), in the MCU.
She first appeared in the 2021 Disney+ series Hawkeye, where she donned the Ronin suit, crossed paths with criminal syndicates, and teamed up with Clint to defeat Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) and expose her mother’s criminal ties.
Her next cameo in The Marvels seemed to hint at Marvel’s plan to set up the Young Avengers.
While this seemed less likely given the route the MCU was taking, it looks like it may finally happen, especially as the studio is seemingly opting to cast younger actors. This is even justified by the newly announced cast members for the upcoming X-Men reboot.
If this happens, Kate may be back in the fold, making her big-screen debut in Avengers: Doomsday.
So, if she actually becomes a member of the Young Avengers alongside Kamala Khan, they may be the secondary team fighting Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.), and the film itself could establish their group for a larger MCU storyline in the future.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on December 18.
