Josh Allen may shine as an NFL star, but his fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld, is stealing the spotlight off the field. After Allen’s AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs, he signed a hefty contract extension and proposed to Steinfeld. Now, the actress is making headlines in Hollywood and beyond.
Steinfeld stars alongside Michael B. Jordan in Sinners, a gritty thriller from director Ryan Coogler. The film, set for release on April 18, has her in the spotlight. But it’s a quiet moment at a recent press event driving Marvel fans wild.

— MTV (@MTV) April 2, 2025There’s growing excitement surrounding Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Secret Wars (2027), two Marvel blockbusters that remain largely under wraps. Fans were puzzled by Hailee Steinfeld’s absence from the Doomsday cast list, especially after Marvel hinted at a Young Avengers storyline featuring her character.
Marvel Keeps Quiet, Fans Don’t
Marvel chief Kevin Feige isn’t spilling secrets. “We share when we’re ready,” he told Entertainment Weekly last month. That hasn’t stopped the speculation. Reddit, TikTok, and even sports outlets are abuzz, tracking Steinfeld’s Marvel ties. Her rising fame amplifies the chatter.
Intentional or not, Steinfeld’s nod has fans convinced that Kate Bishop is back. If true, she might rival Josh Allen’s MVP status in their power couple dynamic.
