What is the story of Echo?
The storyline of the show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe deviates from the comics. Notably, in the Hawkeye series, Maya Lopez is portrayed as one of Kingpin’s top enforcers and the leader of his Tracksuit Mafia. Initially, she seeks revenge against Clint Barton, a.k.a. Ronin, for the death of her father. However, Maya later learns that Kingpin is the actual culprit.
The show will follow Maya on her journey back to her Oklahoman homeland. Maya will have to face her history and reestablish her connection to her Native American heritage as she arrives in her hometown. She also makes amends with her community and family.
Furthermore, the setting of Oklahoma provides a backdrop for her to come to terms with her personal history. The place will help her embrace her identities as a Native American and as a superhero.
The show is expected to delve into the complexities of Maya's character, her struggles, and her evolution as she transitions from her role in the criminal underworld to becoming a hero in her own right.
The official synopsis of the show via Marvel reads as follows:
"Streaming exclusively on Disney, the origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward."
The Echo series is available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar.
