SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the finale of Marvel Studios’ Echo.
“Generations are echoing, reaching out to us at a time when we need them most.”
Those are the words of wisdom imparted on Maya Lopez [Alaqua Cox] by her grandmother Chula [Tantoo Cardinal] as she grapples with how to relinquish herself from the pain of her past and embrace the parts of herself she was never able to after she and her father were exiled from their reservation.
It’s one of several scenes in the final two episodes of Marvel’s Echo that pack an emotional punch, cracking Maya open until she’s no longer the heartless assassin audiences first met in Hawkeye.
Cox had never acted before she was cast as Maya, so Echo represents more than just her first time as No. 1 on a call sheet. It was also the first time she’d been able to explore those emotional depths of a character and decide the kind of actor she wanted to be.
Maya is a deaf, Indigenous amputee, putting a ton of pressure on Marvel and Cox to nail the character and her emotional journey.
In the interview below, Cox broke down the process of coming into her own on the set of Echo and where she’s hoping this character will go next.
DEADLINE: After first playing Maya in Hawkeye, what were you most excited about in terms of expanding her story in Echo?
ALAQUA COX: Maya can do stunts. Maya is an amputee, and she’s deaf. And usually that’s looked down upon on — disabled people can’t do this, can’t do that. But I’m excited to show the world that Maya is a badass, and she can beat those top level bad guys. She could go up against Daredevil and Kingpin, and I’m really excited for the viewers to see that.
DEADLINE: I heard that you wanted to do your own stunts. Can you talk about

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer Before she was cast in Marvel’s 2021 Disney+ series “Hawkeye,” Alaqua Cox had never considered becoming an actor. But then several friends sent her the same flyer looking for Indigenous deaf women in their 20s to try out for a new TV show.
Echo, the newest series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), has been labelled by many critics as its most violent show to date.The five-episode run, which is streaming now on Disney+, is a spinoff from the series Hawkeye from 2021, and follows the character of Maya Lopez, aka Echo, played by Alaqua Cox.In the show, Lopez returns to her hometown in Oklahoma, where she is forced to reckon with her past and reconnect with her Native American roots, in an effort to embrace her family and community.This series was first speculated upon back in 2021, with Echo, who is a deaf amputee with the ability to perfectly mimic the movements of others, heavily rumoured to be the subject of the show, even before Hawkeye had been first aired.Echo is the first show to be released under the ‘Marvel Spotlight’ banner, which they have introduced for select products that focus on “grounded, character-driven stories” and less on impacting the broader MCU narrative.Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Brad Winderbaum, said: “Just like comic fans didn’t need to read Avengers or Fantastic Four to enjoy a Ghost Rider Spotlight comic, our audience doesn’t need to have seen other Marvel series to understand what’s happening in Maya’s story.”Many reviews have focused on the surprising levels of violence in the show’s action sequences.In a three-star review, The Guardian wrote: “The show is significantly gnarlier than its Disney+ predecessors, with far bloodier violence than has graced the streamer before.”“While Echo doesn’t quite cure the pandemic of Marvel fatigue currently raging across the globe, it shows there may be some life in the old gal.”Empire Magazine, who also give the show three stars, also points to the excitement in some of the
Aramide Tinubu Typically, the narratives comprising our origin story begin long before birth, often stretching back generations and centuries, linking us with ancestors we will never know and places we might never visit. For Maya Lopez, aka Echo (Alaqua Cox), the deadly former leader of Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) Tracksuit Mafia gang, her rise started well in advance of her introduction in Disney+’s “Hawkeye.” In “Echo,” a five-chapter limited series under the new Marvel Spotlight banner, audiences learn more about the character after the conclusion of “Hawkeye,” as well as flashbacks from past events that contributed to her. Unfortunately, none of it is particularly captivating.
