Clarifying Rumors About the Young Avengers and Champions Series
Steinfeld responded to speculation about her appearing in a Young Avengers project after being listed on IMDb as part of Marvel’s Champions series. She expressed uncertainty about the listing’s credibility but emphasized her eagerness to return.
“I saw that! You’re telling me anyone can just update IMDb now? Because part of me was like, ‘Is this someone random just throwing stuff out? Or someone who knows something?”
Steinfeld said.

“We’re into it. I wonder sometimes if anything ever gets scrapped, because I’ve said the word ‘Miles’ in so many different ways and tones — they probably have a whole library. But the process is constantly changing. You never get the full script at the top. It evolves. And that makes it so crazy and fun to be a part of.”
