Echo cast and characters
Before we dive into it, the synopsis for the series reads: “Following the events of Hawkeye in New York City, Maya Lopez is being pursued by Wilson Fisk’s organization, leading her to return to her hometown in Oklahoma, where she must come to terms with her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace her family and community.”
Maya Lopez / Echo: Alaqua Cox
Alaqua Cox plays Maya Lopez/Echo, a deaf Native American Choctaw who acted as the leader of Kingpin’s Tracksuit Mafia until the end of Hawkeye, which saw her confront Kingpin and shoot him after she learned he had a hand in her father’s death.
Hawkeye was Cox’s first acting role ever and she has openly discussed that she was born deaf and grew up on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Keshena, Wisconsin as part of the Menominee and Mohican nation, which helped connect her to the character of Maya.
Wilson Fisk / Kingpin: Vincent D’Onofrio
Kingpin made his way back to the small screen in Hawkeye.
Vincent D’Onofrio plays Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, New York City’s biggest crime lord and leader of the Tracksuit Mafia. Kingpin is also Maya’s adoptive uncle and was shot by her at the end of Hawkeye, though he survived and now wears an eyepatch.
Fisk is reprising the character of Kingpin which he first played in 2015. D’Onofrio can only be seen in other iconic works such as Mystic Pizza, Miami Vice, and Ratched.
William Lopez: Zahn McClarnon
Zahn McClarnon plays William Lopez, the former leader of Kingpin’s Tracksuit Mafia and Maya’s now deceased father who was killed by Ronin, Clint Barton’s killer alter ego, after being tipped off by Kingpin.
McClarnon is a decorated TV and movie actor who can be seen in projects such as Togo, The Forever Purge, Fargo, and Reservation Dogs.
Bonnie: Devery Jacobs
Devery Jacobs plays Bonnie, Maya’s rebellious and strong-willed cousin who is the child of dear adults and helps Maya when she returns to her hometown.
Jacobs is best known for her role as Elora Danan on the hit TV series Reservation Dogs and recently voiced Marvel’s first original superhero Kahhori on the animated series What If…?.
Matt Murdock / Daredevil: Charlie Cox
Charlie Cox plays Matt Murdock/Daredevil, a blind lawyer from Hell’s Kitchen who lives a double life as a masked vigilante as he uses his enhanced senses to fight crime.
Cox is reprising the role of Daredevil as he first played the character in his solo Netflix’s series Daredevil in 2015. Cox is best known for this role and as the character of Owen Sleater in the HBO’s drama series Boardwalk Empire.
