As Marvel Studios’ greatest archer epic ‘Hawkeye’ starring Jeremy Renner, Hailee Steinfeld, Florence Pugh, Tony Dalton and Vera Farmiga premiers Wednesday on Disney+ Hotstar, there’s palpable excitement among fans of the MCU.

Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Kate Bishop, a skilled archer and ‘Hawkeye’s biggest fan, recently spilt the beans on acing the action sequences in the series. The actress has worked in tandem with Scarlett Johansson’s stunt double, Heidi Monkeymaker for the action sequences of the miniseries. Talking about her she said, “We got to a place where she could throw anything at me but that didn’t just happen, I definitely had to prepare for that.”

Praising Heidi, Hailee Steinfeld shared how she made her feel safe during the filming of action sequences, “A lot of times, a fight sequence looks incredibly intricate and very overwhelming and intimidating, but it’s nice to have somebody that believes in you and pushes you. Heidi and the entire stunt team always made me feel very safe, which is important.”
