What Is Marvel Sudios’ Next Project After What If…?
January will see the release of Echo, the Hawkeye spinoff about Maya Lopez/Echo (Alaqua Cox). You can read Marvel Studios’ description of Echo here: “Marvel Studios presents Echo in which Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) struggles to reconnect with her Native American roots while balancing aspirations tied to a life of crime as successor to the brutal legacy of Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) aka Kingpin. In the first episode we are introduced to Maya Lopez and her struggles,” the synopsis reads.
In addition to Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez/Echo and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, the cast of Echo includes Chaske Spencer as Henry, Tantoo Cardinal as Chula, Graham Greene as Skully, Cody Lightning as Cousin Biscuits, Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Devery Jacobs as Bonnie, and Zahn McClarnon as William Lopez.
“It’s our first TV-MA show, so it’s a little on the grittier side for Marvel,” executive producer Brad Winderbaum recently told members of the press at the trailer event for Echo. “And I think again, shows kind of the breadth of what Marvel’s capable of. And certainly something, again, if you know the comics and know the history, it feels very in line, but is kind of a new direction for the brand, especially on Disney+. And to that end, it’s going to be, for many reasons, going to be simultaneously released on Disney+ and Hulu.”
What If…? Season 2 debuts on Disney+ on December 22nd. Echo is being released on Disney+ and Hulu on January 10th.
