Netflix’s Daredevil may have been unexpectedly cancelled back in 2018, but in the past few years, Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock has joined the MCU, making cameos here and there between his "Spider-Man: No Way Home" moment and his stint on "She-Hulk." Ahead of the actor leading another show with Disney+’s "Daredevil: Born Again," he’s part of the Echo cast. When CinemaBlend spoke to the January series’ director, Sydney Freeland, she shared with us how Cox contributed to Echo prior to filming his latest MCU appearance.
Echo primarily tells the story of Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez following the character’s introduction in "Hawkeye," but the next of upcoming Marvel TV shows also leans into connections with Netflix’s Daredevil by having the likes of Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk interwoven in Maya’s storyline. During our interview with Freeland, she shared with us how Cox in particular influenced the production.
