The Marvel Cinematic Universe just got its first TV-MA rated series with Echo which will see the origins of the character first introduced in Hawkeye and how she is connected to Kingpin. As Vincent D'Onofrio comes back as Wilson Fisk in Echo, he will finally reunite with Charlie Cox who will be suiting up once more as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil from the Netflix series before and now that they will be in the MCU, all eyes are on them and Maya Lopez could possibly be their link.

With all those first reviews, the positivity is oozing from the fans who were fortunate enough to see the show before it comes out on Disney Plus.

What is Marvel's Echo all about?
Marvel's Echo will be seeing Maya Lopez come back in the MCU and Alaqua Cox is suiting up as the titular character who will trace back her lineage and find out how she was related to Kingpin. The series will explore Maya Lopez as she comes back to her hometown following what ensued in New York City in Hawkeye. As Maya faces her past, she gets to reconnect to her Native American roots to be able to move forward in her life.
Echo will also see Charlie Cox as Daredevil who first arrived in the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Kingpin, who plays a pivotal role in the life of Maya Lopez, will be back with Vincent D'Onofrio portraying the villain once more after he appeared in Hawkeye.
Echo comes out on Disney Plus this January 9th with all of its five episodes arriving on one go.
