Echo Video Highlights Choctaw Nation’s Impact on MCU Series

A brand new Echo video for Marvel Studios’ upcoming Disney+ series has been released, showing behind-the-scenes footage of scenes featuring members of the Choctaw Nation.

The video highlights how Marvel Studios worked closely with the Choctaw Nation to ensure that Echo would be able to portray the Native American community as authentic as possible. It also teases how important Maya Lopez’s heritage will be to her storyline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The 5-episode series will start streaming on January 9 on Disney+ and Hulu.

What is Echo about?

Echo hails from head writer Marion Dayre. It will feature the return of Alaqua Cox as she reprises her role as Maya Lopez after debuting in the Hawkeye series, where the character’s long history with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin was revealed. The series will also feature Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Zahn McClarnon, Devery Jacobs, Cody Lightning, Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, and Graham Greene.

“The miniseries spotlights Maya Lopez as she is pursued by Wilson Fisk’s criminal empire,” reads the new synopsis. “When the journey brings her home, she must confront her own family and legacy. All five episodes will stream on Jan. 10 on both platforms. They’ll be available on Hulu until April 9. This marks the first Marvel Studios series to drop all entirely bingeable episodes at once.”

In Marvel Comics, Echo — the adoptive daughter of the Kingpin — is a deaf Choctaw woman who possesses the ability to perfectly copy other people’s movements while also being a highly capable martial artist and acrobat.
