Director of Echo Sydney Freeland described how they depicted the metamorphosis of the title character through the battle scene between Daredevil and Maya Lopez. Fans’ responses to the tiny online teaser of Echo and Daredevil’s dramatic battle scene a week ago were varied. In an interview, Freeland discussed the significance of the six-minute passage in detail, stating that she chose to film the scene in a single take with the intention of highlighting Maya’s development into the new Kingpin. It’s fascinating. The first episode had a combat scene,” she mentioned. “Maya Lopez enters the stage as a teenage girl and exits as a cold-blooded killer, which is what I found so fantastic about this moment when I read the screenplay. From a conceptual standpoint, we filmed that as a one-take because I wanted the viewers to see that change in real time.” Freeland went on, “I wanted the audience to be able to empathise with her and maybe go through experiences with her. We also wanted to pay tribute to the Echo character’s comic book beginnings, I believe. Additionally, she debuted in the late 1990s Daredevil series. But you have to see the series to understand how all that works together.” Echo witnesses Alaqua Cox’s reappearance as Maya Lopez, who made her debut in the Hawkeye series in 2021. The last time MCU viewers saw her, she was confronting Wilson Fisk/Kingpin after learning the truth about her father’s demise. Marvel Studios is promising a dark and violent tone with the Disney+ series, which is the first show with a TV-MA classification to be released. In an effort to reconcile with her “Native American roots,” Maya Lopez will have to deal with the fallout from becoming the “successor to the brutal legacy” of the Kingpin, according to Echo’s description.
From Netflix’s short-lived Daredevil series, Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox return as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and Matt Murdock/Daredevil, respectively. Some vintage Kingpin and Daredevil footage was recently used in the Echo teaser, which seemed to imply that Marvel Studios had finally accepted the events from the Netflix series as canonical to the MCU. The series will also include newcomers to the franchise, Graham Greene, Cody Lightning, Devery Jacobs, Tantoo Cardinal, Chaske Spencer, and D’Onofrio. Recently, the latter provided the voice of Kahhori, the newest superhero in the MCU, in What If…? Season 2. In spite of this, Jacobs has previously said that there is no relationship between the characters she plays in Echo and What If…? Season 2. “I am ecstatic since I adore both of these programmes. And it’s crazy that they’re coming out only a few weeks apart; it almost seems like I couldn’t have planned it out more perfectly if I had tried.” Freeland hinted to several MCU cameos in an earlier interview, but she reassured non-MCU viewers that they could still watch Echo if they weren’t familiar with the MCU.
