So, when is the brand new series releasing? What is the plot? Who would be playing the lead roles? Continue reading to know further details.
Echo Plot and Cast
Echo is set to explore Maya Lopez’s “origin story” and will pick up with the Hawkeye character when her “ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown.” The series will follow Maya as she is forced to “face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community.”
The show’s official plot synopsis confirms that it will begin sometime after the events of Hawkeye, though, there are reasons to believe that it will also include flashbacks to moments that took place before that Disney+ series. As a result, it is still unclear whether or not Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk survived his violent confrontation with Maya in the Hawkeye Season 1 finale.
Additionally, while Marvel has yet to confirm any official details about Charlie Cox and D’Onofrio’s roles in Echo, THR has reported that Cox’s Matt Murdock will be looking for a “former ally” in the Disney+ series. The Weekly Planet has claimed that said ally will be none other than Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones. Whether that’s correct or not, it is still unclear if the versions of Murdock and Fisk that Cox and D’Onofrio will play in Echo are the same ones they played in Daredevil.
Coming to the cast, the leads include Alaqua Cox, Zahn McClarnon, Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox. The rest of the members include Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs,, Cody Lightning and Graham Greene.
