Marvel Studios has unveiled the first trailer for their upcoming MCU TV show, Echo, marking the next exciting addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Alaqua Cox, who made her MCU debut in Hawkeye in 2021, is set to take the lead in this spinoff series.
Scheduled for release on January 10, 2024, “Echo” will be available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. What sets it apart is that all episodes will drop on the same day, a unique approach for non-Netflix MCU TV shows.
The Echo show trailer teases a TV-MA rating, hinting at a more violent and intense viewing experience compared to other MCU series. This suggests that “Echo” will explore darker themes, in line with the character’s complex history.
The series focuses on Maya Lopez, played by Alaqua Cox, who finds herself pursued by Wilson Fisk’s criminal empire, portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio. Her journey takes her back to her roots, forcing her to confront her family and legacy, shedding light on her Native American heritage.

The trailer also delves into the significant connection between Maya and Kingpin, providing a deeper exploration of their history. It is revealed that Wilson Fisk became her adoptive father, and the Echo trailer hints at more intense interactions between the two characters. Fans of Kingpin, who made his MCU debut in “Hawkeye,” can expect to see a darker and more violent side of the character, reminiscent of his portrayal in Netflix’s “Daredevil” series.
Additionally, the trailer offers a glimpse of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, creating excitement among fans. Echo can be seen engaging in combat with a mysterious figure in a dark red uniform, sparking speculation about the character’s return to the MCU.
Overall, “Echo” season 1 promises to be an intriguing journey, as it explores the story of one of Marvel’s more obscure characters and delves into her cultural heritage. With only a couple of months remaining until the release, fans can anticipate an exciting marketing campaign and a memorable addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. All episodes of “Echo” season 1 are set to premiere on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, on Disney+ and Hulu.
