Echo: Alaqua Cox Confirms "Hawkeye" Spinoff Series Filming Wrap

Published Sat, 27 Aug 2022 08:34:13 -0500

So the last time we checked to see how things were going with Disney+ & Marvel Studios' Alaqua Cox-starring "Hawkeye" spinoff series Echo, viewers' minds were being blown by the news that Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk/Kingpin would be joining the project. Add to that the rumblings that the series will include a plotline where Daredevil looks to a "former ally" for help that may just be a possible route to bring back Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, and it's understandable why the anticipation for this has been growing. Well, we have some good news in that regard to pass along, with Cox confirming what viewers have been wanting & waiting to hear (with the series expected in Summer 2023):
