How To Watch Echo Online
Watch Echo: Synopsis
Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), aka Echo, was first introduced in 2021’s Hawkeye as the leader of the villainous Tracksuit Mafia. Her journey throughout the series saw her initially seeking revenge on Hawkeye, holding him responsible for her father’s death. After she later learned that Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'onofrio) was to blame, she took the crime lord down. Echo will see Maya back in her home town as Fisk, aka Kingpin, catches up with her seeking revenge – and we explain exactly how to watch Echo online below.
While the series is sure to be full of action (it’s Disney Plus’ first 16+ rated Marvel show, so expect some brutal fight scenes) it also promises to explore the juxtaposition between Maya’s current life in the criminal underworld, her quasi-familial relationship with Fisk and her Native American roots. Marvel has balanced super-powered adventure and social commentary well in the past, with show’s like Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Ms. Marvel looking at the minority experience in America’s past and present.
Alongside Maya and Fisk, another familiar face set to return is Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, last seen in She-Hulk, and don’t rule out other surprise appearances with Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), aka Hawkeye, and Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) both tied to Maya’s story so far.
New additions to the cast include Cody Lightning, Graham Greene, Chaske Spencer and Tantoo Cardinal. The series was created by Better Call Saul’s Marion Dayre.

What can we expect from Marvel's Echo?
Maya Lopez, aka Echo, was introduced in previous Marvel series Hawkeye, initially as the villainous head of the Tracksuit Mafia. However, after discovering Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, was behind the death of her biological father, she set out on her own revenge mission, taking down the crime lord.
Echo is Disney Plus' first 'adult' Marvel series, promising a more violent, grittier take then were used to. The show will also see the return of Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil.
The official synopsis reads: "Marvel Studios presents Echo, spotlighting Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) as she is pursued by Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) criminal empire. When the journey brings her home, she must confront her own family and legacy."
Which MCU shows have these characters appeared in?
While the whole MCU is interconnected, Echo is a direct spin-off of Hawkeye. Wilson Fisk and Matt Murdock were both major players in Netflix' sort of official Defenders universe, leading the Daredevil show and also appearing to varying extents in Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, The Punisher and the Defenders crossover. Matt Murdock has also appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk. The whole lot is available to watch on Disney Plus in most territories.
