Reps for Disney and the actors did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment. Farmiga is attached to play the Marvel character Eleanor Bishop, the mother of Kate Bishop (Steinfeld). Farmiga was previously nominated for the best supporting actress Oscar for her role in “Up in the Air.” She is also known for her starring role in the A&E series “Bates Motel” and in films like “The Departed” and “The Conjuring” and “The Conjuring 2.” She is repped by CAA, Authentic Talent & Literary Management, and Peikoff Mahan.
Fee will play a character named Kazi, most likely short for Kazimierz Kazimierczak, known to Marvel fans as the mercenary villain Clown.
