IT’S A MARVEL
‘Daredevil’ stars Cox, D’Onofrio reuniting for ‘Echo’
CHARLIE Cox is putting on his “Daredevil” costume once more. The British actor, 39, will be teaming up with former “Daredevil” co-star Vincent D’Onofrio for the upcoming Disney+ series “Echo.”
“Echo” will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is currently shooting in Atlanta. According to the Hollywood Reporter, it will be a spinoff of “Hawkeye.”
Cox portrayed blind lawyersuperhero Matt Murdock in the 2015 Netflix series while D’Onofrio, 63, played villain Wilson Fisk-Kingpin.
“Daredevil” stayed on the air for three seasons, ending in 2018. The show and other Netflix projects that are part of the MCU have moved to Disney+.
Other MCU shows that also made the jump to Disney+ include “The Defenders ,”“Jessica Jones ”and“Luke Cage.”
Cox previously made a surprise cameo appearance in 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
“Echo” is set to follow “Hawkeye” character Maya Lopez (played by Alaqua Cox), as her past existence in the New York gang scene catches up to her. She comes back to her hometown to get back in touch with her Native American heritage to help set herself straight.
Kingpin last appeared in the “Hawkeye” finale where he fought with Lopez after she learned that he was responsible for the death of her uncle, William Lopez (Zahn McClarnon).
“Echo” will premiere sometime in 2023.
“Theory of Everything” star Cox told the Hollywood Reporter in February that he would be excited to join the MCU once again.“I am imagining, I am hoping, that our worlds will collide again because the stuff we’ve done in the past was tremendous fun to do, and he’s such an incredible actor,” he said at the time. D’Onofrio dished about his friendship with Cox with the outlet last year, and he couldn’t help but gush over their bromance.“Charlie and I are friends, but we don’t really talk about Marvel stuff together because we know about all of the complications with reveals and stuff like that and what we’re contracted to say and not say,” the “Jurassic World” actor noted.
