Upcoming Disney+ Hawkeye spin-off, Echo, may not be up there among the most anticipated MCU projects on the horizon, but fans are looking forward to seeing Daredevil back in action, and it sounds like Marvel Studios will be counting on the Man Without Fear's popularity when it comes to promoting the series.
Though nothing has been officially announced, several online scoopers believe that the first teaser for Echo will be released online very soon, possibly even at some point tomorrow or over the weekend.
If this is accurate, we may get a brief confirmation promo later today, but for now, we may have some idea of what to expect from the teaser.
According to Can We Get Some Toast, we will see Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) and a young Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) getting some ice-cream in a flashback. The vendor somehow insults Maya due to her deafness, which does not sit well with the Kingpin, who "fixes the situation." Daredevil (Charlie Cox) is said to appear, but there's no mention of how he'll factor in to the footage.
"Marvel Studios presents Echo in which Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) struggles to reconnect with her Native American roots while balancing aspirations tied to a life of crime as successor to the brutal legacy of Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) aka Kingpin," reads the most recent synopsis. "In the first episode, we are introduced to Maya Lopez and her struggles."
In addition to Cox, D'Onofrio and Cox (Charlie), the show will also star Chaske Spencer as Henry, Tantoo Cardinal as Chula, Graham Greene as Skully, Cody Lightning as Cousin Biscuits, Devery Jacobs as Bonnie, and Zahn McClarnon as William Lopez.
The origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez (Cox), whose ruthless behaviour in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.
Echo was originally scheduled to premiere later this month, but was recently pushed to January 2024, though no exact debut date has been announced.
