With filming on Disney+ & Marvel Studios' Alaqua Cox-starring "Hawkeye" spinoff series Echo having kicked off back in May, the studio and streamer are confirming some long-rumored returns about to happen. Yup, that's right! Charlie Cox will be joining the series at Matt Murdock aka Daredevil, with Vincent D'Onofrio aka Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin also boarding the project. Not only that, but The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the series will include a plotline where Daredevil is looking for a "former ally" as a possible route to bring back Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones.
