Late last year, a blurry Hawkeye set video gave us a distant first glimpse of Alaqua Cox shooting a scene as Maya Lopez, but we now have a much better look at the up-and-coming actress as the mysterious Echo thanks to a new batch of set snaps.
If you follow the Twitter thread below, you'll see several clear shots of Cox in-character as the Marvel Comics hero, who will seemingly favor a motorcycle as her vehicle of choice. She doesn't have Echo's signature white hand-print here, but that doesn't mean she won't don it at some point during the series.
It was recently announced that an Echo Disney+ spinoff show is in the early stages of development, with Etan Cohen and Emily Cohen attached to write and executive produce.
Like her character, Cox is deaf and Native American. Though Hawkeye will mark her first major role, Echo is expected to be a major part of the show. No details about how she'll factor into the plot have been revealed, but there's a chance she may start out as an adversary of Clint Barton's given their shared association with the Ronin mantle in the comics.
Created by David Mack and Joe Quesada in the late '90s, Echo was first introduced as a Daredevil villain before switching allegiances and reinventing herself as a hero. She resurfaced in 2005 and took up the mantle of Ronin for Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers run, before going on to befriend and work alongside the likes of Wolverine and Moon Knight.
Hawkeye will see Jeremey Renner reprise his role as Clint Barton, and he'll be joined by Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. The show will also feature Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, and Zahn McClarnon. It's been confirmed that Florence Pugh will return as her Black Widow character, Yelena Belova.
