Alaqua Cox’s Echo will reportedly appear in Daredevil: Born Again, according to Jeff Sneider of The Direct’s The Hot Mic podcast. The Hollywood Reporter recently revealed that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin would have “key” roles in Disney+’s Echo as they appear in multiple episodes. The six-episode Echo is reportedly set to release in early 2024, just before Daredevil: Born Again’s 18-episode season in Spring 2024. Echo and Daredevil will likely work together across Echo and Born Again to take down Kingpin, who they both have a feud with. Echo has a bone to pick with Kingpin after discovering he was responsible for her father’s death, while Daredevil already has his own feud going with the New York crime boss.

Marvel has been building up the connection between Daredevil and Echo lately, having recently launched a new comic team-up series starring the two street-level heroes. While they will likely develop a superhero partnership. Their relationship probably won’t delve into the romantic as it has previously in the comics. The age gap between Murdock and Lopez would make it strange for them to pursue a romantic relationship. Daredevil could serve as a mentor to Echo as she transitions from a Tracksuit Mafia commander to a street-level superhero. He could also help her learn to work around her deafness just as he has done with his blindness while teaching some new martial arts tricks.
