There was a whole lot to like about Marvel Studios' Alaqua Cox & Vincent D'Onofrio-starring five-episode Echo, the "Hawkeye" spinoff series that ushered in the age of TV-MA into the MCU at a level of street intensity we hadn't seen since the Netflix days In addition, the series officially introduced Marvel Studios' new "Marvel Spotlight" banner[...]

To build the credibility of the crime-drama in Marvel Studios' Echo, the series recruited Better Call Saul writer Marion Dayre as writer-producer to tell Maya Lopez's (Alaqua Cox's) story of redemption in her Oklahoma hometown while facing the inevitable reprisal from her mentor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio), aka The Kingpin as Disney+'s first TV-MA series[...]

It's not like the signs weren't already there, but Marvel Studios' Alaqua Cox & Vincent D'Onofrio-starring Echo really drove home the point that Netflix's Charlie Cox & D'Onofrio-starring Daredevil series was now officially in the MCU's "sacred timeline." That means that Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle/Punisher canon will be coming over with him when he joins Charlie Cox[...]

It's embarrassing when anyone has to justify someone's existence, especially for Devery Jacobs, who's emerged coincidentally in back-to-back Marvel projects voicing the indigenous hero Kahhori on the animated anthology series Marvel's What If …? and Bonnie, a cousin of the title character Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), in the live-action series Echo Ignorant racists online apparently[...]

Trying to tell the story of Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) in the five-episode miniseries Echo was one hell of a tall task for director Sydney Freeland and writer Amy Rardin as the main character is trying to carve her way to a path of redemption, trying to mend past wounds with estranged members of her[...]

As Disney+ first original TV-MA TV series, there were some lofty expectations for Echo and that's a lot of pressure to put on star Alaqua Cox, who plays the title character, and her alter ego Maya Lopez The build-up to make her character fully realized becomes something of an excruciating exercise, like the way the[...]

Alaqua Cox was provided a unique opportunity when she was offered to star in the Marvel Studios' Echo, not only a chance to front a superhero TV series that operates as a spinoff of Hawkeye but also to provide a major voice in the Indigenous and deaf communities, both underrepresented in Hollywood as Maya Lopez[...]

With the case of Alaqua Cox & Vincent D'Onofrio-starring five-episode Echo, we know that it's using canon from Netflix's Charlie Cox & D'Onofrio-starring Daredevil series when it comes to Wilson Fisk/Kingpin's (D'Onofrio) backstory But did it set the stage for the upcoming Charlie Cox & D'Onofrio-starring Daredevil: Born Again? Yes, it most definitely did – with[...]

So things were already unsteady for Echo to be released in 2024, but now it is also kicking off a new corner of Marvel storytelling with Marvel Spotlight This is where shows like the critical and award-winning Netflix shows would be hanging out now So Echo now has to show that there is still strength[...]

With only hours to go until Marvel Studios' Alaqua Cox & Vincent D'Onofrio-starring five-episode Echo hits our screens (and Bleeding Cool's "first impressions" review goes live), we've got one final preview clip to pass along And if you're going to run a final clip, then what better one to run than one titled "Final Lesson." In[...]

It's not like we weren't already excited about Marvel Studios' Alaqua Cox & Vincent D'Onofrio-starring five-episode Echo. But now that we know that the Kingpin canon from Netflix's Charlie Cox & D'Onofrio-starring Daredevil series is also part of the backstory for the current MCU's Kingpin, its coolness factor has dialed up a few notches[...]

That's when Marvel Studios' "Marvel Spotlight" presents the first TV-MA entry in the MCU with the five-episode Alaqua Cox & Vincent D'Onofrio-starring Echo With fans still buzzing about the show tying Netflix's Daredevil into the Disney+ series' canon, we have a sneak preview to pass along that offers another example of the kind of Hell[...]

The shows were just as inconsistent quality-wise as the movies were, and now we're heading into the new year with Echo. This show is different for a couple of reasons, the primary one being that it is the first show under the Marvel Spotlight umbrella When Disney got all of the characters back from Netflix, no[...]

Echo first appeared in Daredevil #9 in 1999, co-created by the writer David Mack (who also did the covers) and artists Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti She was then picked up by Daredevil writer Brian Bendis in his New Avengers series drawn by David Finch, in disguise as the character of Ronin Maya Lopez, the[...]

Marvel has been pretty upfront that Echo was not a show they planned on making, but Alaqua Cox came in for Hawkeye and convinced everyone otherwise It spoke volumes about Cox as a talent that they were willing to hand her an entire show after a supporting role on one show, but this studio does have[...]

Echo is arguably the most anticipated Marvel TV series in the Disney+ era, not just because of bold decisions like having the MCU's first Native American lead or its first physically challenged one, but as the first TV-MA Marvel Studios-produced project of its kind on the platform While the former Netflix Defenders shows like Daredevil[...]

But before we get back to that, we have a new teaser for the upcoming Alaqua Cox & Vincent D'Onofrio-starring five-episode Echo that focuses on the backstory of D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin And if you needed further proof that there are some folks over at Marvel Studios who agree with Winderbaum, look no further than[...]

No one can say enough about the leaps and bounds Disney and Marvel Studios are making to provide a broad spectrum of representation, especially the breakout success of Alaqua Cox and her character Echo – who never let any physical challenge take away her powerful presence on screen since making her character's live-action debut in[...]

While the project will properly give the characters their own series once again, Cox & D'Onofrio have already made their presence known in the MCU – and they're about to again in the Alaqua Cox-starring Echo (hitting Disney+ next week) But there's one question surrounding all of this that's never received a proper answer Sure,[...]
