The first trailer for Marvel Studios’ new Disney+ series Echo has been released. The drama, which stars Alaqua Cox again, follows her character Maya Lopez, a deaf hero coping with the burden of being the niece of the New York underworld’s Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk.
Echo | Official Trailer
The introduction of Echo and Kingpin’s complicated history was an essential element in Hawkeye season 1, as it revealed that Wilson Fisk became her adopted father.
While Hawkeye just skimmed off the top, the Echo trailer places her and Kingpin at the heart of the MCU story.
The Echo trailer not only shows flashbacks to her childhood as Kingpin became more prominent in her life, but it also shows Wilson after she nearly killed him in the Hawkeye season 1 finale.
There are plenty of moments in the Echo teaser when Kingpin exhibits his brutal side, much to what audiences witnessed in Netflix‘s Daredevil TV program.
Although unclear, the Echo film also provides an early glimpse at Charlie Cox‘s Daredevil since it shows her fighting with someone wearing a dark red look.
The Echo trailer also shows Maya’s homecoming, embracing her Native American culture, a concept the MCU hasn’t explored much in past projects.
Echo season 1 will undoubtedly be an intriguing journey based entirely on the new trailer, especially given that she is one of the most obscure Marvel characters to be allowed to headline her TV show.

Alaqua Cox, who grew up on Wisconsin’s Menominee Indian Reservation, plays Maya Lopez/Echo in her Hawkeye spin-off series.
Charlie Cox reprises his role as the blind lawyer/superhero Matt Murdock/Daredevil, who appeared in Netflix’s wildly successful three-season series. In Marvel Comics, Daredevil and Echo are in a romantic relationship.
Vincent D’Onofrio returns as violent lord Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, Maya’s surrogate uncle whom she murders in the last moments of Hawkeye after discovering that he was responsible for her father’s death.
Zahn McClarnon (Reservation Dogs) reprises his Hawkeye role as William Lopez, Maya’s adoring father who is also a Kingpin associate and previous leader of the Tracksuit Mafia.
Devery Jacobs, the creator and star of Reservation Dogs, plays Julie, a member of Maya’s native family and community.
Tantoo Cardinal, Chaske Spencer, Cody Lightning, and Graham Greene, the Academy Award-nominated indigenous Canadian, round out the cast.
Marvel has announced the Echo release date for January 10.
The series, like other Marvel shows, will be available on both Disney+ and Hulu. Disney has acquired Hulu, allowing them to host any of their shows on the site easily. According to a Marvel Studios Instagram post, Echo will be accessible for Hulu users to view until April 9.
