Hit Marvel series ‘Echo’ could be headed to Emmys

LOS ANGELES —The Marvel series “Echo” is intense. It’s gritty. And it’s among this year’s most watched Marvel shows on Disney+. Now, it’s among the hit shows being considered for the 2024 Emmys.

Alaqua Cox stars as Maya Lopez, a skilled fighter who was first seen in the Disney+ series, “Hawkeye.”

In “Echo,” viewers saw Maya return home to reconnect with her Native American roots and escape her violent past with former father figure, Kingpin, played by Vincent D’Onofrio.

“(Kingpin) and Maya have a very, you know, intense emotional connection,” Cox told On The Red Carpet through an interpreter. “He’s such an amazing actor to work with.”

“She’s an amputee. She’s deaf. She’s a newcomer to this whole acting thing,” D’Onofrio said. “She represents this huge community of Indigenous people. You know, it’s such an amazing thing.”

“Echo” is streaming on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+ and this ABC station.
