The upcoming show indeed shares a lot of elements from Netflix’s Daredevil but Breaking Bad is a completely different show and comparing the two makes no sense.
Echo is a spin-off from the Hawkeye series
The show will be the tenth television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and a spin-off from the Hawkeye series. Alaqua Cox reprises her role as Maya Lopez / Echo from Hawkeye and the show also features Vincent D’Onofrio, Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Graham Greene, Cody Lightning, Charlie Cox, Devery Jacobs, and Zahn McClarnon.
For the first time ever, Marvel will be releasing a TV show on Hulu as well, Echo is scheduled to be released on Disney+ and Hulu on January 10, 2024, and will consist of five episodes. Will the show be able to live up to its hype? Only time will tell.
