Marvel vet Finn Jones gave Hailee Steinfeld advice about joining the MCU

What do Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell on Game of Thrones) and Hailee Steinfeld have in common? Apart from starring in the Apple+ series Dickinson together, they are now both officially a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Jones played the lead in Marvel’s Iron Fist for two seasons before it was canceled by Netflix, but he still knows a thing or two about the MCU, and he was happy to share with his Dickinson costar. Steinfeld is currently filming the Disney+ series Hawkeye, where she plays Kate Bishop, the protégé of Hawkeye himself. We’ve even got an image of Steinfeld on set courtesy of Instagram account onset.unseen, and she looks fierce:

What advice did Finn Jones give Hailee Steinfeld about joining the MCU?

The second season of Dickinson, where Steinfeld plays the poet Emily Dickinson, is airing on Apple+. Jones joined the cast this season as Samuel Bowles, a renowned newspaper editor. Speaking with Digital Spy, Jones revealed what MCU-related wisdom he imparted to Steinfeld on set:

"While we were working on the show, she was going through the casting process. She asked me, ‘What was it like working with Marvel?’ And all these kind of questions. I was just like, ‘Do it, definitely. Be a part of the Marvel world. It’s such a wonderful thing to say that you’ve been a part of. Marvel takes care of their actors so well. It’s a universe that is so well-loved by so many people.’ Just the experience as an actor to play a superhero is such a wonderfully challenging and rewarding experience. I was just like, ‘Hailee, do it. Do it, and you won’t regret it.’ And now she’s doing it."

Jones had nothing but wonderful things to say about his co-star. “It’s wonderful to see that she’s now in that world,” he said. “I think she’s going to be fantastic. I can’t wait to see her as Hawkeye. I think it’s wonderful casting, and I hope she goes on to have her own series and her own movie franchise because she deserves it. She’s such an amazing performer – and a great contribution to the Marvel Universe.”

As a huge fan of Steinfeld, I have to agree. Her talents know no bounds.

We don’t have a premiere date for Hawkeye yet, but if everything goes according to plan, it’s set to air on Disney+ sometime this year.
