Hawkeye arrives on Disney+ this November, but it won't just be Kate Bishop we meet in the series. Alaqua Cox will take on the role of Maya Lopez/Echo, a Daredevil supporting character in the comic books who was trained to be an assassin by Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin (after he murdered her father and framed the Man Without Fear for the crime).

Rumour has it that we're also getting an Echo spinoff series, something Cox appeared to confirm when she recently shared a casting call for the series on Instagram.

Now, the actress has revealed an impressive workout video showing the training needed to take on this physically demanding role. Cox is clearly putting the work in to bring Echo to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is no great surprise when the character is a badass warrior who once served as Ronin!

The addition of Echo to the MCU is significant for a number of reasons, including an increased level of representation on screen. Cox is set to be the franchise's first Native American star and, like Eternals star Lauren Ridloff, is among this shared world's first deaf leads. As you can also see below, the actress is also an amputee, though it's unclear whether that will be referenced in any way.

Hawkeye is set to premiere on Disney+ on November 24. Keep checking back here for updates!

So Echo is basically confirmed. I mean she's training for something. It does raise more questions about the supporting cast since Echo is such a Daredevil-centric character.

Its nice that actors/actresses that are considered physically disadvantaged are getting more opportunities to perform in front of the camera. We have come a long way since Marlee Matlin's Oscar win in 1987. Now we have such performers prominent in both The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead series among others. Good for Marvel hiring for ability no matter the potential handicap.

Jesus please tell me they arent trying to adapt Jason Aaron's god awful shit into the MCU. Please anything but that.

She's lifting that 400 like it's nothing. Mad respect

generictheeric - 9/6/2021, 6:24 AM

@OmegaDaGrodd - For real. My knees are hurting just watching.

OmegaDaGrodd - 9/6/2021, 6:56 AM

@generictheeric - Same here, pure 2nd hand pain and suffering

Juggernaut2021 - 9/6/2021, 8:36 AM

@OmegaDaGrodd - those are bumper plates one 25lb and three 10 lb plates per side plus the 45 lb bar makes it 155lbs total. Still respect but not a heavy lift

OmegaDaGrodd - 9/6/2021, 9:45 AM

@Juggernaut2021 -

Ooooohhh, I saw the size and thought those were all 45s. Definitely still heavy but that makes more sense haha

I could do that. But I just don’t wanna show off.

HeeroG - 9/6/2021, 6:22 AM

Didn't knew she was also an amputee. Happy for her for getting this opportunity!

Hope we get two Coxs instead of one.
