Marvel Cinematic Universe star Alaqua Cox opens up on what she would love to see in Echo season 2. One of the biggest surprise hits for Marvel Studios and Disney+ this year was the Echo TV show, centering on Maya Lopez after the events of Hawkeye in 2021. After the Echo finale’s ending, it is unclear where Cox’s character will show up next, but Marvel Studios is clearly investing more into the new fan-favorite.
Alaqua Cox’s Vision for Echo Season 2
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Cox spoke about Echo and where she hopes Maya Lopez will go after the Disney+ drama. Cox was asked about what she would like to see happen in Echo season 2, if the show were to return, and she shared the following:
“I’d like more of Maya’s family. I wouldn’t mind if they went to New York City and all got revenge on those people that have hurt them and also used the powers of their ancestors that they have. I think that’d be a cool storyline. And the Green Goblin. That would be pretty cool. I think I’d like to face the Green Goblin.”
Potential MCU Crossovers
Outside her own TV show, Cox also spoke about what other characters she would like Echo to meet in the wider MCU. She mentioned wanting to see Maya meet the Avengers, and also suggested a potential project she could return in. She said:
“I would hope that she’s able to cross paths with other superheroes as well, for example, the Avengers. That would be a dream come true if she was able to meet any of the Avengers or even if she was in Daredevil [Born Again]. We just don’t know. I’d like to see any of those possibilities.”
Why Echo Season 2 Should Happen
With the positive critical reception of Echo, another season should be something Marvel Studios and Disney+ take into serious consideration. As Maya has now become a prominent Native American superhero in a major franchise like the MCU, having Echo season 2 would allow the show to explore more of her culture and background. In a landscape that still lacks representation of a lot of marginalized communities, Echo season 2 could ideally lead Marvel Studios to invest in more diverse characters.
Continuing the New York Storyline
There is also the notion of continuing her storyline related to New York, especially as she and Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin, are far from done with each other. That’s why Cox’s suggestion of having Echo pop up on the Daredevil: Born Again TV show is a solid idea, especially as she and Matt Murdock already clashed in Echo season 1. As Echo is also now on a more heroic path, having her return to New York, and perhaps aid Daredevil in his battle against Kingpin, would be a way to integrate her more into the larger MCU storyline.
FAQs
Will there be an Echo season 2?
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Marvel Studios or Disney+ about a second season of Echo. However, considering the positive reception of the show and its potential for further exploration of Maya Lopez’s character, many fans are hopeful for a continuation.
What other characters does Alaqua Cox want Echo to meet in the MCU?
Alaqua Cox expressed her interest in having Maya Lopez, aka Echo, cross paths with other superheroes, particularly the Avengers. She also mentioned the possibility of appearing in other MCU projects, such as Daredevil: Born Again.
Why is continuing Echo’s storyline important for the MCU?
Continuing Echo’s storyline would allow Marvel Studios to delve deeper into her character, exploring aspects like her family, culture, and background. Additionally, integrating her further into the larger MCU storyline, especially in relation to New York and characters like Daredevil and Kingpin, could enrich the overall narrative of the franchise.
While Echo may have been a minor character in the world of Marvel Comics, it’s great to see the potential that is being realized with her in the MCU. Since Echo season 1 was only five episodes, there is absolutely more story to tell with her, both on and off her solo series. Hopefully, whether it is through Echo season 2 or other MCU projects, it won’t be long until the audience gets to see Maya back in the franchise.
