In an interview (via Marvel Studios) President Kevin Feige talked about the recently released series Echo. Starring Alaqua Cox in the lead role, the series follows an indigenous woman, Maya Lopez journeying to her home while dealing with her past and trying to find her roots. As per Feige, this is the darkest MCU show created till now!
“This is a TV-MA show. This is an adult show. Just like the Marvel Knights Comics where Echo first started, it goes much deeper and much darker in ways that we could only do with a TV-MA rating, so I am excited for people to see, as readers of the comics know, the different tonalities that we’ve been able to do in all of our shows and this being the darkest one yet.”
Well, Echo received an average rating of 6.1/10 on IMDB and 74% on Rotten Tomatoes but lead actress Alaqua Cox was heavily praised for her performance. The 2024 MCU miniseries is available to stream on Disney+ in the U.S.
