The Daredevil went down to Georgia.

Marvel Studios announced Thursday that the characters of Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) are joining the cast of Marvel’s Echo, currently filming in Atlanta. The series stars Alaqua Cox (no relation to Charlie) as Maya Lopez, last seen going after Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) in Marvel’s Hawkeye series, which also starred D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin.

Cox starred as Matt Murdoch/Daredevil in three seasons of Daredevil from 2015-18, and was part of the 2017 team-up series The Defenders, while arch enemy Wilson Fisk/Kingpin was the big bad in Daredevil‘s first and third seasons.

The move brings the two characters from Netflix’s popular yet cancelled Daredevil series back into the television fold. Murdoch, aka Daredevil, was last seen cameoing in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

But wait! There’s more: sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that in Echo, Daredevil will reach out to a former ally, reportedly Jessica Jones, played by Krysten Ritter, another Marvel character from the Neflix days. Six months ago, Disney+ added all the Netflix-era shows to its lineup, and has been integrating many of them into its current stories.

Echo will tell the story of Maya, a deaf Native American woman with the poer to perfectly copy anyone’s movements. After she returns to her hometown to reconnect with her Native American roots, she finds herself facing Kingpin, whom she last saw in the Hawkeye finale after learning he was responsible for the death of her uncle, William Lopez (Zahn McClarnon). McClarnon returns for Echo, and other castmembers including Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs, Cody Lightning and Graham Greene.

Maya’s character made her first comic book appearance in 1999’s Daredevil #9, which introduced Echo as an orphan raised by Fisk, who eventually used her as an assassin who attacked Daredevil. 

Echo will stream on Disney+ in 2023.
