Fans will soon have a new addition to their LEGO Marvel Cinematic Universe collection with the upcoming release of Hailee Steinfeld’s Hawkeye Minifigure. For the first time, the toy company makes a small toy version of Clint Barton’s partner, along with the new generation of superheroes, in the new LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures Series 2.
LEGO has been creating almost every superhero introduced since the franchise began. As the new era of MCU begins, fans and toy collectors alike can trust that new heroes to be presented will be commemorated, just like Kate Bishop.
For starters, Bishop made her MCU debut in the miniseries Hawkeye. It was also the first time the actress behind the character, Steinfeld, joined the superhero franchise. As fans wait for her return on the big or small screen, LEGO unveiled her first-ever LEGO Minifigure.
The toy will see the female Hawkeye wearing purple tactical gear, which fans who have seen the Disney+ series will find familiar. Of course, its realization will be true to the character, as it also features the scars on her face. And to complete her look, the Minifigure comes with a plastic LEGO bow.
What other characters LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures Series 2 features?
LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures Series 2 is a sequel to the 2021’s Marvel Studios Minifigures. Aside from Bishop, it will also feature Mr. Knight, Hawkeye himself, Goliath, Storm, Wolverine, Echo, Agatha Harkness, The Werewolf, Beast, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight. This collection will officially be available on Friday, September 1.
When will Kate Bishop return to the MCU?
After the success of Steinfeld’s portrayal of Bishop in Hawkeye, receiving heaps of praise from fans and critics alike, many want to know when she will make her much-awaited return to the MCU. If truth be told, even the 26-year-old is excited about that.
In an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Steinfeld revealed that she, too, is waiting for her next appearance in the MCU. “I'm certainly chomping at the bit; it's been a minute,” she said. “It's been so long since.”
As Hawkeye ended in December 2021, within almost two years of waiting, she is now ready to get back at it. “I am itching to be on set again with people that do what I do and love what we do,” she continued.
Sadly, there is no upcoming project that may feature Bishop so far. However, there are theories that Bishop may appear in the forthcoming movie Thunderbolts next year. But, as nothing is confirmed yet, fans may get their hands first on her LEGO minifigure.
