The latest addition to Disney+ and Hulu is Marvel Studios’ Echo. Fans are curious about the number of episodes in the solo MCU series featuring Maya Lopez. Announced in November 2021, Echo is a spinoff of the Disney+ series Hawkeye, with Alaqua Cox returning as Maya Lopez/Echo and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising his role as Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin.
The MCU miniseries features a special appearance by Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, the archenemy of Kingpin. Echo's most highly anticipated feature is the inclusion of Daredevil, with pre-release speculation focusing on a fight scene between Maya and the Man Without Fear. With Echo now available, how many episodes can viewers expect when accessing the show on Disney+ or Hulu?
How many episodes of Echo are there?
There are five episodes of Echo, all of which are now available on Disney+ and Hulu.
These are the only Echo episodes scheduled for release at present. Marvel Studios has categorized the Hawkeye spinoff as a limited series, indicating that a second season is not currently in the plans. However, this does not mean that Echo's story will come to a complete end after Episode 5, 'Maya'. In fact, the mid-credits scene of Echo sets the stage for another MCU show, Daredevil: Born Again.
How have critics responded to Echo?
Despite this, it remains uncertain whether Cox will make an appearance in either Daredevil: Born Again or any other future MCU project. As of now, the actress is not linked to any Marvel Studios productions that have been publicly announced and are currently in the works.
The response from fans towards Echo will play a crucial role in Marvel Studios' decision to bring back Cox for another MCU project. Echo is currently enjoying a positive Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 75% from over 500 ratings for her five-episode run. In addition to fan reactions, professional critics have also given the series a thumbs up, with a 73% review score from 40 reviews. Many reviewers have praised Cox's performance as Echo, the high-quality fight scenes, and the gritty tone of the show.
You may now stream Echo Episodes 1-5 on Disney+ and Hulu. Many critics have criticized the show's plotting, pacing, and character development, as well as its failure to live up to Netflix's Daredevil series. For additional coverage of the MCU series, visit Dexerto's website.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I was eagerly anticipating the release of Echo, the latest spinoff series on Disney+. The show follows the journey of Maya Lopez, a deaf Native American superhero who was introduced in the Hawkeye series. With the return of Vincent D'Onofrio as the menacing Kingpin and the highly anticipated appearance of Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Echo had all the ingredients for an epic and thrilling adventure.
However, after watching all five episodes of Echo, I can't help but feel a sense of disappointment. While the series had its moments, overall it fell short of my expectations. The plot felt disjointed and lacked the cohesive storytelling that we've come to expect from Marvel Studios. The pacing was also an issue, with some episodes dragging on while others felt rushed. Additionally, the character development felt superficial, leaving me wanting more depth and emotional connection with the characters.
