Marvel fans who are currently binging on Echo, the latest mini-series from the MCU, may have been curious to know the number of episodes in which Daredevil makes an appearance. The gritty and bloody series has finally premiered on Disney+ with a total of five episodes.
Our four-star review of the Hawkeye spin-off series lauded its exploration of darker themes within the MCU and its insight into the backstory of the latest anti-hero. The show's connection to Daredevil was a major draw for audiences, but many are curious about how many episodes the horned hero actually appears in. Before diving into the series, here's everything we know. Warning: minor spoilers ahead!
How many episodes of Echo does Daredevil appear in?
Daredevil only appears in the first episode of Echo.
In Episode 1, during an ambush on an operation to move into Wilson Fisk's territory, Maya Lopez and some of Fisk’s goons were attacked by Daredevil. Daredevil tells Maya that he was staking out the place overnight and decided to attack when he realized they were there to take out the competition, but he doesn’t explain why he was watching this particular operation.
The impact Daredevil was intended to have on Echo's story was significant, with reports of a six-minute-long fight between Daredevil and Maya. It was anticipated that this encounter would mark a turning point for Maya, transforming her from a teenage girl to a cold-blooded killer. However, Daredevil's appearance was limited to a 90-second scene that, while well-choreographed, had minimal relevance to the overall story.
Additionally, Daredevil is depicted wearing his iconic red suit from the comic books, indicating that the series likely occurs before the events of She-Hulk, where he was seen in a yellow and red suit. Despite Daredevil's history with Maya's adoptive uncle Kingpin, the show prioritizes focusing on her dynamic with Fisk and her family rather than forcing a connection with Daredevil.
Echo is now streaming through Disney+ and Hulu. For more content about the show, check out the list below:
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Daredevil, I was thrilled to hear that he would be appearing in the Echo series. However, I was disappointed to learn that he only appears in the first episode and for a very brief scene. I understand that the show is focused on Echo's story, but I was hoping for more interaction between her and Daredevil. The fight scene between them was well-choreographed, but it felt like a missed opportunity to explore their relationship further.
Despite my disappointment, I still enjoyed the first episode of Echo and am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series unfolds. I hope that Daredevil will make another appearance in the future, and that we will get to see more of his interactions with Echo and the other characters in the show. Overall, I think Echo is a solid addition to the MCU and I am excited to see where it goes next.
