Cast and filmmakers from Marvel Studios’ upcoming series Echo joined guests and fans last night on the red carpet outside the Regency Village Theater in Westwood in Los Angeles for the series’s premiere. All five episodes of the new series are now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.


Echo, the latest Disney+ series from Marvel Studios, tells the story of a Native American woman, Maya Lopez, who rises to become boss of the New York street gang Tracksuit Mafia under the tutelage of crime lord Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio), all while being deaf and a leg amputee.

Alaqua Cox (Menominee), who is also an amputee and deaf, reprises her character from Hawkeye, torn between the criminal underworld and the Choctaw family that shaped her childhood, leading her to return to her hometown where she must come to terms with her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace her family and community.
