Marvel Studios' Echo, a spinoff of Hawkeye, will release on Disney+ as part of MCU Phase 5, and there have already been several key developments regarding this lesser-known character's debut series. Alaqua Cox debuted as Echo in 2021's Hawkeye on Disney+, introduced as a minor antagonist, seeking revenge on Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton for her father's death during his time operating as Ronin, while also contending with her criminal "uncle", Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin. Echo's introduction in Hawkeye serves as a brief foundation for the character, which is set to deepen in her solo spinoff series.
Echo's development falls in line with Marvel Studios' suggestion that lesser-known and diverse Marvel Comics characters would be introduced on the Disney+ series' - Maya Lopez fits well into this tonal shift. Maya Lopez, a.k.a. Echo is a deaf Native American woman who has been caught between heroism and criminality for most of her life, which offers a fresh perspective for the MCU timeline, similarly to how Ms. Marvel explored Kamala Khan's identity as a female Muslim in America, or how Moon Knight dealt with Marc Spector's dissociative identity disorder and Jewish roots. While perhaps one of Marvel Studios' more understated projects, Echo is certainly a series to watch out for.
