Hawkeye will give fans a big treat while introducing character Mockingbird, aka Bobbi Morse, to the MCU. The Disney+ series, however, won’t be casting back actress Adrianne Palicki from Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.
As per the report by FandomWire, Marvel Studios’ head Kevin Feige will be recasting Mockingbird.
It might come out as a disappointment for Agents of SHIELD lovers, but it is true. He already mentioned that MCU wouldn’t be connecting to anything he didn’t have control over in the past.
On a positive note, the character will be returning with a new actress in the role of Bobbi Morse.
It also means that the MCU version of Mockingbird will differ from what viewers saw on the Agents series.
