HAWKEYE Spinoff Focusing On Alaqua Cox's Echo Reportedly In The Works For Disney+

We had heard that there are a number of Marvel Disney+ shows in the works that have yet to be announced, and it sounds like one of them will be a Hawkeye spinoff focusing on Echo.

It was reported late last year that newcomer Alaqua Cox had joined the cast as Maya Lopez, aka Echo, and Variety now claims that a spinoff for the character is in the early stages of development, with Etan Cohen and Emily Cohen attached to write and executive produce.

Like her character, Cox is deaf and Native American. Though Hawkeye will mark her first major role, Echo is expected to be a major part of the show. No details about how she'll factor into the plot have been revealed, but there's a chance she may start out as an adversary of Clint Barton's given their shared association with the Ronin mantle in the comics.

Created by David Mack and Joe Quesada in the late '90s, Echo was first introduced as a Daredevil villain before switching allegiances and reinventing herself as a hero. She resurfaced in 2005 and took up the mantle of Ronin for Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers run, before going on to befriend and work alongside the likes of Wolverine and Moon Knight.

Hawkeye will see Jeremey Renner reprise his role as Clint Barton, and he'll be joined by Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. The show will also feature Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, and Zahn McClarnon. It's been confirmed that Florence Pugh will return as her Black Widow character, Yelena Belova.

I won't make a negative opinion on the concept yet because I haven't seen the show nor have seen the character portrayed in live action yet. But I will say that before the MCU starts giving smaller characters a series they should definitely listen to what the fans want most. Many of us want Ghost Rider, Daredevil, and some X-Men to get tv shows first.

@SonOfAGif - all of those things have already had their own things.

@XMenGiveItToYa - Of which were not MCU properties. They were extensions of Marvel Entertainment but we're completely ignored by Kevin Feige and are non-canon.

I kinda wish they didn't develop a spin off just yet. I mean it's great to hear a high praise and all but I think it's best if we wait how Hawkeye plays out. It would be nice if they focus on popular characters like daredevil, ghost rider, etc but we'll see...

You're doing good just getting me invested in a Hawkeye show. But a spinoff from a Hawkeye show that hasn't even come out yet?

I only hope this means the focus of Hawkeye will actually be on Clint. Given all this setup for future products it seemed like they forgot that. Especially since this will most likely be Renner's last outing as the character.

I like how diverse the MCU is getting. Black Panther, Shang-Chi, Ms. Marvel, and now Echo. Now if we can get a Nova or White Tiger movie or series so we can get some Latin representation.

Sure, Oscar Isaac is Latino but the character of Moon Knight isn't. I want to see Marvel do something that is enriched in Hispanic culture.

@MovieMonster - Every time I go looking for Hispanic superhero comic stuff, I'm disappointed in how little there is. One of my favorite underrated characters of the modern comics is Araña (who had a lot of promise but just failed to take off as her own character). But I'm sure Sony controls her anyway, so it's not viable for Feige.

The character is worthy. The comics don’t use enough of her.

@MovieMonster - I think it’s Michael Gaydos who did the Alias comics
