Echo helmer Sydney Freeland insists the first Marvel Cinematic Universe offering of 2024 will show why it’s earned its TV-MA rating, promising the show will “lean into” violence as it chronicles the turbulent journey of Maya Lopez.Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Freeland plugged how Lopez’s story in Echo will be more “street-level” than most MCU offerings as the titular character returns to Oklahoma to reconnect with her native roots. While Echo shows Lopez as a family person, it also displays her thirst for violence, further fleshing out her villainous persona from Hawkeye. “Because we’re dealing with a story that is more street-level, it is a little more grounded and a little more visceral. We’re leaning into the TV-MA aspect of it,” Freeland said. “One of the big things when I first came on was talking to Marvel and saying, ‘Well, she’s a villain in Hawkeye, and to me, that’s the most interesting thing about her.’ And their response was, ‘Let’s lean into that, let’s explore that.’”Alaqua Cox will reprise her role as Lopez from Hawkeye in Echo as she portrays the deaf Native American Choctaw and ex-Tracksuit Mafia leader trying to move on from her past. Freeland praised Cox for bringing authenticity to the role, saying she is the “beating heart” of the miniseries. Cox stars alongside Vincent D’Onofrio (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Devery Jacobs (Bonnie) and Tantoo Cardinal (Chula). Previews for the upcoming series have teased an uneasy alliance between Lopez and Kingpin as they take on common enemies despite Lopez’s hatred for him due to their criminal association.
