Endgame’s opening scene was first teased in a trailer for the movie that arrived in March. Back then, fans began speculating if Clint was actually training Kate Bishop, who adopted the mantle of Hawkeye herself in Marvel’s comic book universe. It wasn’t until the week of Endgame’s release that a photo posted on Marvel’s press site revealed that this was actually Lila Barton. Sophia Russo, the daughter of Joe Russo, plays Lila in the film. Joe can actually be heard in the video’s background saying “Way to go!” after his daughter almost hits a bullseye.
