The Echo Finale Had Its Stars Wondering, "How on Earth Are We Going to Film This?"
56Echo is the latest MCU series from Disney+, and the first under the new Marvel Spotlight banner, that invites viewers to step into an action-packed superhero world without having to first watch a franchise's worth of movies and TV shows. Starring newcomer Alaqua Cox, Echo is an origin story and journey of self-discovery for Maya Lopez, the adoptive daughter of crime lord Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio), and like its connection to the series, this TV-MA-rated narrative takes a brutal page from Netflix's Daredevil.
Though Maya was first introduced as an antagonist in Hawkeye, viewers won't have to have seen the show to dive into Echo. We learn about her backstory as the daughter of a mafia commander, and find out she was taken under the wing of Kingpin early on, who taught her fear and violence, and how to hone her lethal skills. After learning sinister news, Maya is now on the run from her previous mentor, and returns home to Oklahoma, to her estranged Choctaw family and her legacy. Echo also features Charlie Cox, Graham Greene, Tantoo Cardinal, and Zahn McClarnon.
During an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, co-stars Chaske Spencer and Devery Jacobs, who play Henry and Bonnie, explain why Marvel's first TV-MA rating lent to a more authentic portrayal of Lopez's anti-heroic character, and the trauma she's processing. They tease a brutal, edgy series unlike most of what we've seen from the MCU before, as well as a showdown finale that had them wondering how they'd ever be able to pull the sequence off. The pair also share how Marvel Studios comitted to faithfully representing the Native American culture onscreen, their favorite Marvel movies and shows, and more.
