Marvel Studios is currently basking in the success of their mini-series 'Loki Season 2', which heading towards its finale. The production house has announced another exciting project 'Echo', which will focus on the character Maya Lopez. The release of 'Echo' has officially been announced by Marvel along with its intriguing trailer. Fans are excited to see the new phase of Marvel after the studio received some negative feedback from the audience and the critics for their recent movies and shows.
Who Is Maya Lopez Aka Echo?
1. Maya Lopez is the leader of the Tracksuit Mafia, who has the excellent skills of imitating other people's moments. She is deaf but does not let her disability come in her way.
2. Her character was first introduced in Marvel's mini-series 'Hawkeye', starring Jeremy Renner, Hailee Steinfeld, Florence Pugh, and Vincent D'Onofrio in the pivotal roles.
3. Maya gets adopted by Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin after her father William Lopez dies. She later turns against Kingpin when she finds out Kingpin is the reason behind her father's death. Maya earlier thinks that Clint Barton aka Hawkeye killed her father during the Blip.
4. In 'Echo', Maya's power will not be the same as shown in the comics. She will reportedly have different abilities that manifest when she’s threatened and each power belongs to a different ancestor.
About Echo:
'Echo' will revolve around Maya, who returns to her hometown and reconnects with her Native American roots by embracing her community. The show stars Alaqua Cox as Echo/Maya with Vincent D'Onofrio playing the role of Kingpin. Charlie Cox will reprise his role of Daredevil in the series. 'Echo' will star Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Graham Greene, Cody Lightning, Devery Jacobs, and Zahn McClarnon in the pivotal roles.
This will also be the first project under a new banner 'Marvel Spotlight'. “Marvel Spotlight gives us a platform to bring more grounded, character-driven stories to the screen, and in the case of Echo, focusing on street-level stakes over larger MCU continuity," said Head of Streaming Brad Winderbaum.
'Echo' will be released on Disney+ Hotstar and Hulu on January 10 and its last episode will be released on April 10.
