Los Angeles, California – Disney is taking a unique approach with its upcoming show, Echo. Unlike most shows, Echo will be released all at once, with just five episodes totaling a little over three hours, a runtime similar to that of an average Avengers movie.
Promotional material for Echo heavily features the villain, Kingpin, rather than the protagonist Echo herself. Additionally, a notable presence in the show’s marketing is Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, who is seen in multiple fight scenes with Echo. Rumors suggest that one of these fight scenes will last seven minutes.
Echo’s TV-MA rating indicates that the show is embracing the same level of brutality that was found in the popular Netflix series, Daredevil. Notably, Echo’s promotions have also established Daredevil’s original Netflix series as canon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding whether Daredevil’s new costume is up to par.
Daredevil has garnered significant popularity among fans, who believe that the character was unjustly removed after the Netflix show ended. The character’s appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk elicited an enthusiastic response from audiences. Despite this popularity, Echo is not Daredevil’s own show, though it is being given substantial attention.
It is important for fans excited about Daredevil’s return to temper their expectations for Echo. While Disney is utilizing Daredevil to promote the show, his actual screen time may be limited, as evidenced by his brief cameo in No Way Home and his partial involvement in one episode of She-Hulk. With a runtime of just three hours, Echo will primarily focus on telling the story of Echo and Kingpin.
Although a Daredevil show is in development, it has encountered its fair share of challenges. The original concept for the series was discarded, and the creative team underwent significant changes. As a result, production is still in its early stages and remains far from completion.
In conclusion, Disney is capitalizing on Daredevil’s popularity to attract viewers to Echo. However, it is unlikely that Daredevil will have a substantial role in the show beyond the advertised fight scene. Fans eagerly anticipating his return should manage their expectations accordingly.
