Echo, which was also announced during the event, will star Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez, a character that will be introduced in Disney+’s upcoming Hawkeye series. In Marvel Comics, Echo — the adoptive daughter of the Kingpin — is a deaf woman who possesses not only the ability to perfectly copy other people’s movements but is also a highly capable martial artist and acrobat. The logo for her series can be seen below:

Her character is a newer one in the Marvel canon as she was created in 2016 by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodat. In the comics, she’s a 15-year-old MIT student that gets noticed by Tony Stark. With Stark’s death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the show will have to take a different route.
