How Does the Echo Series Connect Her to Daredevil Himself?
When it comes to connecting directly with Alaqua Cox’s Echo, there is not a single mention or allusion to her in any of Daredevil’s three seasons. So, for those looking to further explore Maya Lopez, the old Netflix series is not the place to look.
However, that project forms a better, more complex foundation for Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, who plays a key role in Echo as Maya’s uncle figure.
The villain is the main antagonist for both the first and third seasons of Daredevil while appearing briefly in Season 2.
The Netflix series will also get audiences familiar with the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen—though not much context is needed given the hero’s brief appearance in Maya’s new show.
How Does the Echo Series Connect Her to Daredevil Himself?
The key connection between Maya and Matt Murdock in Echo is a brief and inconsequential one, they once encountered each other during the Blip.
The scene is brief, taking place in Echo’s first episode. It sees Maya Lopez hold her own against Charlie Cox’s Daredevil. Their brief entanglement is the deepest the series explores the two character’s history.
Will Echo Appear in Daredevil: Born Again?
As of writing, Alaqua Cox is not currently confirmed to appear in Daredevil: Born Again.
However, given that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin show up in her series, it would be natural for Maya Lopez to return the favor.
While Maya’s return has not been announced, fans will be able to reunite with Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, another Daredevil-adjacent character whose return has been long-awaited.
The highly anticipated series is currently going through some major reworks, so who knows what it’ll eventually become when it sees the light of day.
