Alaqua Cox’s Character Echo – A Marvel Fan Favorite

After her groundbreaking role as one of the few deaf comic book characters, the 27-year-old actress went on to play the lead role in the 2024 spin-off series, Echo. Here, Charlie Cox co-starred as Matt Murdock/Daredevil.
Following her mysterious exit in the Echo finale, where Cox’s character may appear next remains uncertain. Yet, the actress’s recent conversation hints at grander ambitions, including teaming up with the street-smart Daredevil.
Sharing the Screen with Daredevil
In a report by Screen Rant, Cox shared her hopes for her character’s future in Echo, a Disney+ series launched on January 9, 2024. The actress divulged her longing to feature Maya’s family extensively and venture into a revenge tale set in New York City.
Cox further expressed her anticipation to meet the Green Goblin, stating, “I think it’d be a cool storyline. I think I’d like to face the Green Goblin.” An encounter with such a legendary Marvel character would indeed be a dramatic highlight for any superhero, including Echo.
Additionally, while discussing potential crossover scenarios, Cox mentioned her desire for Echo to cross paths with other MCU superheroes, such as the Avengers, or even be part of ‘Daredevil [Born Again]’. Such unions could surely make her dreams come true while exciting the massive legion of Marvel fans worldwide.
Daredevil Alias Returning?
Charlie Cox, who left viewers in awe with his impressive depiction of Daredevil in the Netflix series (2015–2018) and other Marvel projects, also stole hearts alongside Alaqua Cox in Echo. The series’ potential second-season return ignites hopes for a Daredevil appearance once again.
Will Echo be Renewed?
Further fuel for a second season comes from Echo’s co-cinematographer, Kira Kelly. While she remained uncertain about the sequel, Kelly stated in an interview with The Direct, “I feel like anything that we can see Alaqua [Cox in] would be amazing… I would just love any excuse to see Alaqua perform again.”
Echo’s positive review score, as featured on Rotten Tomatoes, also indicates considerable pressure on Marvel Studios and Disney+ to renew the series. Following this lead, David Mack, co-creator of Echo’s character, voiced his wish for a second season in an interview with ComicBook, applauding Alaqua Cox’s exceptional portrayal of Echo.
Given that the first season limited to just five episodes, Echo still has more story to tell. As Cox’s breakthrough performance has left audiences awaiting her return, whether through Echo season 2 or other MCU projects, it’s only a matter of time before we see her in action again.
Catch Echo streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. The future of Alaqua Cox’s character Echo remains intriguing, and her aspiration to work aside Daredevil aligns perfectly with fans’ anticipation for the series’ sequel.
