Disney+'s upcoming Hawkeye spinoff, Echo, is scheduled to begin production later this year, and it looks like Marvel Studios has begun to round out the show's supporting cast.
According to The Direct, Academy Award-nominee Graham Greene has signed on for the project in an undisclosed role. The veteran stage and screen star, who is of Indigenous (Oneida) Canadian descent, was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Dances With Wolves, and has also appeared in the likes of Thunderheart, The Green Mile, Twilight, and Wind River.
Though no details on Greene's character were provided, there's a chance he's been cast as The Chief, and old friend of Maya's father's who sends her on a vision quest in the comics.
Alaqua Cox debuted as Maya Lopez, aka Echo, in Hawkeye, and is set to return to lead her own series. When we last saw the conflicted antihero she was putting a bullet in The Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) after coming to the realization that he was the one responsible for her father's death. Wilson Fisk almost certainly survived, however, and will likely return as the main antagonist of Echo.
Greene's casting has yet to be confirmed, so we'll have to treat it as a rumor for now. Be sure to stay tuned for updates.
