I am a huge fan of Florence and her work," Steinfeld says.
That scene in particular was so fun.
There’s a lot of layers.

It’s always exciting to dig into a scene like that.
When you first read it, you laugh, there are points that you love and connect to.
Steinfeld continues, “I just remember being so impressed by Florence.
She had a great understanding of Yelena and where Yelena falls in this moment.
These are two people who are just trying to protect the thing that they love.
In that, they sort of find this connection to each other.”
Having originally appeared on Netflix’sDaredevilseries, Wilson Fisk has now officially survived the transition to Disney+.
EW’s Chancellor Agard has notedin his Hawkeye recapsa strong resemblance to the Marvel-Netflix shows.
Now that connection is even clearer.
But that version, of course, was animated; D’Onofrio is the real deal.
“It’s a very different experience standing underneath Vincent and hearing him.
To be in his presence is really something,” Steinfeld says.
“I’ve been a fan of his for a very long time.
It’s always amazing to be a part of something with people that you really admire.
I’m excited to see people watch it unfold.”
If it didn’t feel real before, it’s real now.
It’s a photo of KingpinwithKate’s mom, Eleanor Bishop (Vera Farmiga).
The show has flipped the roles of Kate’s parents a bit.
“That is quite the bomb that gets dropped,” Steinfeld says.
“It’s not something that Kate could have ever seen coming.
I think that in that moment, we fear for her.
But I did feel this sort of confidence in Kate.
Not to mention she has an Avenger by her side to help her navigate through this!”
TheHawkeyefinale hits Disney+ next Wednesday.
