Echo is one of the many MCU shows that is currently in Marvel Studio's pipeline as part of Phase Five. So far, the exact plot details of the Hawkeye spinoff remain under wraps except that it will center on Alaqua Cox's Maya Lopez/Echo following the events of the series.
Given that production already wrapped last year, a lot of fans have been wondering when it will finally release, especially with reports claiming that Marvel Studios is currently reevaluating its strategy and plans to reduce its number of releases per year.
Now, we finally have the release date for the highly-anticipated MCU series which which will also mark a huge shift in Disney+ and Marvel Studios' usual release strategy.
According to Deadline, Echo is officially set to premiere on Disney+ on November 29. Not only that, all episodes will drop at the same time instead of the usual weekly release strategy that other MCU shows have.
"In Hawkeye, fans were first introduced to Maya Lopez, a character played by Alaqua Cox," Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in Disney’s Upfronts presentation as he introduces the series.
"She will return to get her revenge in Echo, a limited drama from an incredible team of indigenous writers, directors, and cast members. And in a first for us, all episodes will drop on November 29."
This will mark the first time that an MCU show will employ a "binge release" when it premieres on Disney+. No reason was stated regarding why the series is skipping the usual weekly release, but this is certainly an experiment for them since this is new territory for them.
The show's synopsis reads: "The origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown."
"She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward."
Besides Cox, the cast also includes Zahn McClarnon, Vincent D'Onofrio, Charlie Cox, Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs, Cody Lightning, and Graham Greene.
