Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio are reportedly set to reprise their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin respectively in Marvel's upcoming Echo series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
- Cox and D’Onofrio portrayed the iconic Marvel Comics hero and villain respectively in the Netflix series Daredevil.
- Netflix canceled the series after three season and it, along with several other Marvel series, have since been moved to Disney+.
- In the series, Daredevil, also known as Matt Murdock, became a hero and the protector of Hell’s Kitchen while the Kingpin, also known as Wilson Fisk, rose to power as New York’s most feared crime boss.
- That wasn’t the last time we have seen either of these actors portray these characters, however. D’Onofrio returned as Fisk in Marvel’s Hawkeye on Disney+, while Cox reprised the role of Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
- Now, it appears these characters will return again in the upcoming Echo series, focused on the Maya Lopez character whom we first met in Hawkeye.
- Fans will remember, the last time we saw Echo, she seemingly shot Wilson Fisk in a dark alley, though it appears he still has a role to play in her story.
- The inclusion of these characters in the Echo series makes a lot of sense for comic fans as well, as the character debuted in “Daredevil #9″ in 1999.
- The Hollywood Reporter, also reports a rumor that Krysten Ritter may reprise her role as Jessica Jones in this series, a role she played in her own Netflix series.
- If that is the case, it would leave only Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the Punisher as the remaining heroes yet to make the jump from Netflix to the MCU.
