Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez / Echo will take center stage in the upcoming eponymous series which is also expected to shed light on her past and Native American roots. As the series inches closer to its premiere date, promotional material is making its way to social media, generating hype for the much-awaited project that will return viewers to MCU’s street side of affairs.
Following her introduction in Hawkeye, Maya Lopez / Echo will be the focal point of the new series, and a new poster promoting the series highlights her character in an unexpectedly refreshing fashion. The newly released poster is quickly winning over fans who have been calling out the franchise for its mundanity and unoriginality in the past couple of years. Here is what fans are saying about Echo‘s new poster.
New Echo Poster Impresses Fans Ahead of the Show’s Debut
Echo will focus on the titular character with actress Alaqua Cox in the role. A new poster promoting the show’s release is gaining fan approval on social media, despite the show’s lead star not being featured on it, unlike the promotional material for other MCU projects. Instead, the poster features the use of American Sign Language (ASL) to spell out the show’s title.
However, this particular aspect of the new poster is precisely why fans are impressed.
Here is what fans are saying about the poster on X.
Someone give a raise to whoever did that.

I’ve gotten so used to the “floating heads” posters which are awful.
This one is actually really good 🔥— Lachesis (@LachesisHD) January 5, 2024

As you can gauge from the fan reactions, the response to the new Echo poster is positive as it highlights the titular character with an unexpected twist. Since Maya Lopez’s hearing inability is a major part of the character, she often relies on sign language. As a result, the poster features the show’s title spelled out through sign language instead of the traditional face shots that have become a jarring and mundane mainstay of MCU posters.
All Episodes of Echo Will Release at Once
A solo miniseries centering upon the character of Maya Lopez / Echo was formally announced by Marvel Studios in November 2021. Echo will consist of five episodes and will release on January 9, 2024, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. All episodes will drop on Disney+ and Hulu streaming services on the same day. The series is also the first to release under the “Marvel Spotlight” banner.

Echo will take place after the events of Hawkeye, which served as a launchpad for the titular character. Moreover, the series is also said to acknowledge the events of Daredevil, which was originally produced for Netflix. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are reprising their roles as Matt Murdock / Daredevil and Wilson Fisk / Kingpin from the Netflix series.
