Marvel fans are eagerly binging the latest mini series Echo, wondering if it will follow tradition with a post-credits scene. The new year has started off with a bloody and dark bang as Disney+ has just released this thrilling new addition to the Marvel universe.
In the aftermath of 2021’s Hawkeye, the series centers on Maya Lopez, a deaf Native American who previously led the Tracksuit Mafia, as she confronts her adoptive uncle Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, and her complex familial past. The five-episode season is currently available for streaming, prompting speculation among Marvel fans about whether the show will uphold the studio's custom of featuring a post-credits scene. Here's everything you need to know. Warning: Minor spoilers ahead!
Does Echo have a post-credits scene?
No, Echo’s finale does not contain any post-credit scene.
In a departure from tradition, the fifth and final episode of Echo does not include a post-credits scene or a message indicating that the character will return in the future. The series concludes with Maya confronting Fisk and choosing to spare his life, despite the death and destruction he has caused her family since she was a child.
Maya's mystical powers, stemming from her Choctaw ancestry, are revealed to the audience, but there is no indication in the show that Maya will make another appearance in future MCU projects. This lack of post-credits scenes is not unique to Echo, as Loki Season 2 also famously lacked one.
Despite the lack of a post-credit scene in Echo, the decision has raised some questions, considering Maya's status as a new character in the MCU. Many would have expected a hint at her return. However, given Maya's connection to Fisk and his upcoming appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, it's possible that fans will see her again in the near future.
Echo is now streaming through Disney+. For more content about the show, check out the list below:
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am slightly disappointed that the Echo finale does not have a post-credits scene. Marvel has accustomed us to these extra scenes, which often provide a glimpse into future storylines or introduce new characters. The absence of a post-credits scene in Echo leaves me feeling a bit unsatisfied and curious about Maya Lopez's future in the MCU.
However, I understand that not every Marvel project needs to follow the same formula. The decision to forgo a post-credits scene in Echo allows the show to focus on its own narrative and character development without feeling the pressure to tease future events. It also leaves room for speculation and discussion among fans, which can be just as exciting as an actual post-credits scene.
