That's a good question, isn't it? As we detailed above, while Echo will of course have some dealings with both Clint and Kate, her comic origin is firmly rooted with both Kingpin and Daredevil.Īfter Episode 3 of "Hawkeye," it feels fairly certain that Kingpin-in what form, we do not yet know-will be appearing soon.
Does Echo in Hawkeye mean Daredevil or Kingpin are coming ? Could this be a back door for a soft Daredevil reboot? Speaking of. Not much is known about the Echo series, but it seems likely that it could serve as something of an entry into the more grounded branch of the Marvel Universe for the MCU.
#ECHOES UNCLE MARVEL SERIES#
Remember that was where both Boba Fett and Ahsoka Tano were re-introduced to audiences both will soon have Disney+ series of their own. This seems like the first (of what could possibly be many times) that Disney+ is using the "back door pilot" sort of strategy for the MCU that it already did with Season 2 of The Mandalorian in the Star Wars wing of things. But she had a very close and loving relationship with her father, who raised her to believe in herself and to be a strong and determined person. While it slightly differs from the comic origin that we detailed above, it largely remains the same: she was deaf as a child, and even has a prosthetic leg as well. Echo will clearly be a key part of the Hawkeye series.Īfter a quick peek at the end of Episode 2, the entire opening of Hawkeye's Episode 3 was devoted to telling Maya's backstory. She also was the secret identity of the original Ronin (who Clint Barton was during his killing spree in Avengers: Endgame) during a 2005 New Avengers arc. She is angry at the Kingpin and even shoots him in the face (he survives, don't worry). When she's in her "Echo" persona, her signature look is a white handprint on her face, similar to the bloody handprint left by her father in his dying moments.Įcho's most notable storyline in her early Marvel Comics history was being sent by her father to seduce Matt Murdock and fight Daredevil she falls in love with Matt, and fights Daredevil, besting him easily (she had studied his fighting) before realizing they're the same person, and fleeing. That's the beginning of the "Echo" power that she has she is a quick learner, has amazing reflexes, and is able to learn and mirror the abilities of others (fairly similar to Taskmaster, the classic Marvel Comics villain who was featured in the Black Widow film ). Does that mean that in Hawkeye, Echo will turn out to be more of a friend than a foe? It remains to be seen.īut for now, let's take a closer look at Echo, and what her whole deal is in the Marvel Comics and what it could mean for the future of the MCU.įisk sent Echo to a school for people with learning disabilities (not realizing that she was deaf), and she completely replicated a song while playing piano she then went to a school for those with special talents. The character is played by newcomer Alaqua Cox (this is her first role), and we know for certain that she will be sticking around because an Echo Disney+ spin-off series has already been officially announced. But we know some answers: this is Maya Lopez, also known as Echo, a character who will play a significant role in the future of the MCU. All that's been established so far is how she looks, that she's in a back room calling the shots, and, like Clint Barton, is hard of hearing and uses American Sign Language to communicate. The second episode leaves off introducing viewers to a young woman in a back room, one without a name or any dialogue just yet. But the person calling their shots, throughout the first two episodes, is a mystery until the very end-and is not someone clad in athleisure. Enter the "Tracksuit Mafia," (who appear in exactly the dress you'd probably expect), who have it out for both Clint and Kate. The first two episodes of Hawkeye, the latest limited series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to land on Disney+, spend a lot of time establishing a new hero ( Kate Bishop, as played by Hailee Steinfeld) and checking the post- Endgame pulse of an old one (Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, played as always by Jeremy Renner).Īnd while a lot of time is spent on these beats of both character development and establishment, it is an MCU property-and that means we need some conflict. The following story contains light spoilers for the first two episodes of Hawkeye.
