Hailee Steinfeld has finally addressed her character Kate Bishop’s potential return in Avengers: Doomsday, and her answer only fueled the speculation further.

As clues pointing to her triumphant comeback continue to emerge, will fans see Kate once again in Doomsday?
Did Hailee Steinfeld Confirm Her Return in Avengers: Doomsday?
Speculation about Hailee Steinfeld’s return as Kate Bishop in Avengers: Doomsday has been rampant, especially with the glimpse of her apartment in the movie’s ScreenX trailer.
In the clip, Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), could be seen embracing his daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton), in what looked like Kate’s apartment.
While the master archer did not appear, her room’s appearance lined up with the post-credits scene of The Marvels, where she made a cameo when Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) approached her to start assembling the Young Avengers.
So, during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the host could not help but ask if she would indeed be in Doomsday, with the clues now piling up.
“I actually have no idea… Time will tell,” she said. You can watch that part of the interview below:
By the looks of it, fans aren’t convinced by Steinfeld’s answer, with many suggesting that she will indeed be in the movie based on the way she talks and moves, seemingly hiding a secret.
Will Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop Be in Avengers: Doomsday?
While it remains to be seen if Hailee Steinfeld will return to reprise her role as Kate Bishop in Avengers: Doomsday, her answer to Jimmy Fallon seems enough to fuel the speculation.
In a post on X featuring the interview, many believe the 29-year-old is lying and may be hiding something.
With the movie only a couple of months away from being released, she may actually have an “idea” if she is part of it or not.
A flat-out “no” would be much easier to say if she is indeed not in the film. In fact, X user @tdogcoyote commented that she just made the “worst lie cover up” he had ever seen.
“See, it's definitely lying. This is the worst lie cover up. I have seen,” he said.
Another claimed she would be in it after the release of the ScreenX trailer and her interview, thanks to her smile and demeanor, which seem to give her away.
“First the clip of Scott and Cassie in her apartment..now this. We will definitely get to see Kate again,” @franzi_rainbow wrote.
And with her words, “Time will tell,” it looks like her return is just an event waiting to happen – true to Marvel Studios' style of keeping things under wraps – and fans will finally confirm it when Doomsday hits theaters on December 18.
