There are plenty of Marvel series coming to Disney+, and the first of those — Echo — is already upon us. All five episodes of the Hawkeye spinoff will be released at one time in a first for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with fans having the option to stream the series with either a Disney+ subscription or Hulu subscription. Critics were able to screen the first three of those five episodes ahead of its release, and while many found plenty to praise about the series, they’re also critical of its slow start and story building.
Alaqua Cox will reprise her role as Maya Lopez, a deaf superhero of Native American ancestry, while the cast of Echo also includes the return of Zahn McClarnon, Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox in their MCU roles. Newcomers to Marvel include Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal and Devery Jacobs in a story that will see Echo come to terms with her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace her family and community. Let’s see what people are saying about the series.
