While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has lost the stable footing it once had, fans are excited for a potential return to the grittiness of the studio\u2019s Netflix<\/a> years in Echo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new Disney Plus<\/a> series \u2013 which serves as a spin-off\/sequel to 2021\u2019s Hawkeye<\/a> \u2013 catches us up with Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) and her loathed father figure Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin<\/a> (Vincent D\u2019Onofrio).<\/p>\n

When we last saw them, Echo shot Kingpin in the eye as an act of revenge for his role in her biological father\u2019s death, but he survived the attack against all odds.<\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019ll learn more about their complex relationship and get a glimpse of what the future holds for Echo \u2013 with director Sydney Freeland teasing that she won\u2019t entirely shed her villainous roots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the cast of Marvel\u2019s Echo on Disney Plus.<\/p>\n

Who is Maya Lopez \/ Echo?\u00a0<\/strong>Maya is the adoptive daughter of crime boss Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, who was once primed to take over his illegal empire.

Who is Kingpin?\u00a0<\/strong>Kingpin is a prominent villain in the Marvel Universe, who often goes up against the publisher\u2019s \u201cstreet-level\u201d heroes.

There, he became the arch-nemesis of lawyer-turned-vigilante Matt Murdock (aka Daredevil). This series, however, will explore his relationship with adoptive daughter Maya Lopez.<\/p>\n

What else has Vincent D\u2019Onofrio been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Besides his Kingpin performances, D\u2019Onofrio is also known for film work in Full Metal Jacket, Men in Black, Jurassic World and, most recently, Dumb Money<\/a>.

This latest incarnation of the character is partially derived from the now-defunct Netflix series \u2013 retaining his rivalry with Kingpin, for example \u2013 but will also show the lighter tendencies of his recent She-Hulk guest appearance.<\/p>\n

What else has Charlie Cox been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Besides Marvel, Cox is best known for his work on HBO\u2019s Boardwalk Empire, Netflix\u2019s Treason and RT\u00c9\u2019s Kin<\/a>, which recently became available on BBC iPlayer.
