Marvel's Daredevil Now Part of MCU Canon; Echo Series to Debut on Disney+ and Hulu

Echo, featuring deaf Native American antihero Maya Lopez, marks Marvel’s first TV-MA series and is the first under the new “Marvel Spotlight” banner.

Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that Netflix's Daredevil and its extensions are now considered part of the MCU's Sacred Timeline, introducing a host of complex villains to the MCU.
The upcoming Disney+ and Hulu series Echo, starring Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez/Echo, is set to be a darker, edgier alternative to previous MCU shows, marking Marvel’s first TV-MA series.
Echo will focus on the character of Maya Lopez/Echo, a deaf Native American criminal gang leader, and will feature the return of Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil.
Echo is the first show to be produced under the “Marvel Spotlight” banner, which will feature “grounded, character-driven stories” with less direct connection to the larger MCU narrative.
All five episodes of Echo will be released simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu on January 9, 2024.
