ECHO Update: Recent Report Claiming The Series Was Deemed "Unreleasable" Has Been Debunked As False

If a new rumour is to be believed, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige ordered extensive reshoots for Echo after deeming early cuts of the series "unreleasable." You can find more details after the jump...

UPDATE: We've heard from sources in Disney who have confirmed Sneider's claims about the series are, in fact, false. Echo hasn't undergone reshoots and the show will be released as intended this November.

We'll continue bringing you all the latest updates on the Hawkeye spin-off as we have them!


Several months ago, we started hearing that Hawkeye spin-off Echo might be in trouble. It sounded a lot like there were creative issues with the Disney+ series, a bad sign when many fans have already questioned why the character needs her own TV show. 

Recently, Marvel Studios confirmed that all episodes (we still don't know how many there will be) of Echo will drop on November 29. That's led to more speculation about the possibility of the series not being very good, as a release like this obviously means it's over and done with in a few days, rather than weeks of possible bad reviews! 

We'll soon find out, but a new claim from insider Jeff Sneider on John Rocha's podcast suggests there has indeed been problems with Echo. Thankfully, they might have been fixed in recent months. 

"I heard the show was kind of plagued by issues throughout production," he started. "I heard that it was a mess, and that the show came in so bad that they basically had to reshoot the entire thing. I’m told that they originally shot 8 episodes, and [Kevin Feige] thought it was unreleasable, so they talked about cutting it down to 4 episodes, or 6 in post."

"But then they ended up reshooting it, so my source did not actually know how many episodes they wound up with," Sneider adds. "But yeah, apparently it needed a top-down rejiggering, and that Kevin was not happy with it."

Given how many times Echo has been delayed, this adds up, and it wouldn't be the first time Marvel Studios has saved a project with reshoots. With that in mind, we're not too concerned, and there is quite a lot of excitement among fans to see how it leads into Daredevil: Born Again

The origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez (Alaqua 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.

As noted, all episodes of Echo will premiere on Disney+ on November 29.

Imagine how bad it was or will be if even Feige, the brilliant mind who approves of the dumbest shit in the MCU on a regular basis since 2013, thought it sucked.

When your show is so awfully Woke that even Kevin Feige can't hide his disgust, you know it's bad.

This is the guy who liked SHE-HULK!

@HistoryofMatt - He will say he likes all their shows/movies once they're released no matter what he actually thinks

I legitimately question why some of these projects are being made.

The MCU should've had less content coming out after Endgame rather than more.

@HOTSHOT -

Because the MCU is popular and Disney wants to make the most money out of it.

The problem is that most of these shows turned out to be not really good or, at the very least, disappointing (the same with Star Wars). It ended up somewhat damaging the image of the brand and the worst is that most of these shows are necessary viewing for the movies. If they end up disappearing some day (like Willow), good chance for understanding the whole storyline of the MCU.
