Maya Lopez returns to the MCU in first look at Disney+ Echo series

It's time to learn where Maya Lopez comes from. Alaqua Cox, who made her screen acting debut playing the deaf gang leader in last year's Hawkeye series on Disney+, takes the spotlight in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe series Echo. This week, Disney announced that production for the show has begun in Atlanta.
Set to premiere on Disney+ in 2023, Echo will show Maya's ruthless behavior in New York City catching up with her in her hometown (of which we saw brief flashbacks in Hawkeye). In order to move forward, she must face her past and reconnect with her Native American roots.

In addition to Cox, Echo will also star Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Cody Lightning, and Graham Greene, along with Reservation Dogs stars Devery Jacobs and Zahn McClarnon. When EW spoke with Cox last year about her Hawkeye role, she mentioned how excited she was by shows like Reservation Dogs and increasing Native American representation in Hollywood. Cox herself grew up on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin.
"We need more real, authentic Native actresses," Cox told EW last year. "Now we have more Native American roles in Hollywood. We're breaking boundaries, breaking barriers, and to be honest, making history too. So that's what is so cool about these shows and being involved in them."
There's Native American and Indigenous talent working behind the scenes of Echo, too. Episodes of the series will be directed by Sydney Freeland (Navajo) and Catriona McKenzie (Gunaikurnai).
Originally created for Marvel comics by David Mack and Joe Quesada, Maya has taken a major role in Avengers stories over the years. In current continuity, she is even the host for the cosmic Phoenix Force. Big things are ahead for Maya.

Marvel reveals fall release dates for 'Loki' season 2 and 'Echo'
Marvel has announced fall 2023 release dates for 'Loki' season 2 and 'Echo' — the latter of which will be the first Disney+ Marvel show to drop all episodes simultaneously.

Loki (TV Series)
TYPE- TV Show
GENRE
Two Marvel antiheroes are coming to Disney+ this fall.
At Disney's upfronts presentation in New York on Tuesday, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige took the stage to tease some of Marvel's upcoming projects — and reveal a few release dates. Feige announced that Loki will return for season 2 on Oct. 6, while Echo, the Hawkeye spin-off starring Alaqua Cox, will debut Nov. 29.
Feige also revealed that for the first time, Echo will deviate from other Marvel projects and drop all of its episodes simultaneously. (So far, every other Marvel Disney+ series has streamed new episodes week to week.) Cox reprises her role from Hawkeye as deaf Indigenous hero Maya Lopez, and the show will follow her as she leaves New York City and returns to her hometown. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio are reportedly reprising their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin.

Meanwhile, Loki marks another Marvel first, as the first show to get a second season. The new season will pick up where the first left off, as Tom Hiddleston's chaotic god travels through space and time. On stage, Feige teased the show's cast — including Owen Wilson, Ke Huy Quan, and Sophia Di Martino — but he made no mention of Kang actor Jonathan Majors, who filmed scenes for Loki season 2 but has been embroiled in controversy since being arrested in March after an alleged domestic dispute.

Interesting they decided to drop the ENTIRE SEASON at one time?!!
thoughts?

Interesting. Seems like the week-2-week format works better for many shows in prolonging the discussion and watercooler talk.
See how well this spinoff performs.
I wonder if there will ever be a 2nd season of Hawkeye. Enjoyed that 1st season with Steinfeld and Renner.
apparently you and I are the chosen few who feel this way
Just looking at the Wikipedia now. Didn't mind the show. That release schedule hit right - November 24th - December 22nd, 2021 and the holiday season vibe of the show. Seemed to work well.
there are like 2 million shows
aint got time to wait for weeks
that is how im still behind on most shows on disney
drop it and lets move on
Debuting all the episodes at once is probably a sign that there are no big surprise cameos in the series or big Easter Eggs for future projects.
With all the prior series, there were always surprise cameos, so to avoid big spoilers by mofos who can’t keep their big mouth shut, they released weekly.
What also is curious is the release date of Loki 2.
It originally was supposed to be a summer 2023 release, now they releasing it in the Fall. This somewhat confirms what I posted in the Disney+ thread about subscription cancellations.
Disney is probably figuring out that folks drop subscriptions in the summer and resign back on in the Fall.
They might push out the Ashoka series being it’s highly anticipated so it gets a larger viewer statistic on their algorithms.
We will see….
Should we consider the Johnathan Majors situation and the strike too?
Josh Allen enjoyed the season too, Playa, lol.

Well, this looks promising.
In the comics, she's a mute with abilities similar to Taskmaster in being able to replicate the movements of anyone she sees making her very difficult to beat in hand-to-hand. She took on the mantle of Ronin for a hot minute as well. They kind of alluded to her being able to do the same in the Hawkeye series.
Looks hardcore. It has a TV-MA rating.
And Disney is releasing all 6 episodes at once, so good chance no surprise cameos in it.
Looking forward to it.

Kingpin is top three villain in any marvel or dc movies/ shows.
Only cameo I care about for this series is Daredevil. Hopefully it'll be more than 1 episode

Maya Lopez (Earth-616)
Maya Lopez was born deaf, but due to her incredible lip reading abilities, she wasn't diagnosed for a long time. Her father, William Lincoln, was a Native American of the Cheyenne Nation and secretly a mob enforcer working for the Kingpin. They were good friends, but, at one point, he outlived...
I'll check it out. I've always been nervous on how Disney would handle the darker properties of Marvel. Still sucks they cancelled Helstrom was canceled altogether.
I see rez dogs, I'm there.
Skoden!
Skoden!
It's written by a Breaking Bad Alum. IDK how tight the leash is. So far she's quiet.
i remember reading her comic back in the day....count me in
I'm not digging this take on kingpin.
