‘Echo’: Alaqua Cox On Exploring Maya’s Emotional Depth In Marvel Series


SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the finale of Marvel Studios’ Echo. “Generations are echoing, reaching out to us at a time when we need them most.” Those are the words of wisdo…

Those are the words of wisdom imparted on Maya Lopez [ Alaqua Cox] by her grandmother Chula [Tantoo Cardinal] as she grapples with how to relinquish herself from the pain of her past and embrace the parts of herself she was never able to after she and her father were exiled from their reservation. It’s one of several scenes in the final two episodes of Marvel’s Echo that pack an emotional punch, cracking Maya open until she’s no longer the heartless assassin audiences first met in Hawkeye. I really hope not, personally, because it’s just a horrible place for her to be [with] all those traumatic memories she has growing up, now that she’s able to reconnect and open up more with her blood-related family, and she realized that they never left her side.
