Marvel Studios' Echo Series Adds Reservation Dogs' Devery Jacobs

According to Deadline, Reservation Dogs star Devery Jacobs has officially been tapped to star opposite Alaqua Cox in Marvel Studios’ forthcoming Echo series.

Further details about her character are still being kept under wraps, but she is reportedly set to portray one of the leading roles in the Disney+ series.

Echo will feature the return of Alaqua Cox as she reprises her role as Maya Lopez after debuting in last year’s Hawkeye, where it was revealed Maya had a long history with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin. Production is currently underway.

In Marvel Comics, Echo — the adoptive daughter of the Kingpin — is a deaf, Native American woman who possesses the ability to perfectly copy other people’s movements while also being a highly capable martial artist and acrobat.

Marion Dayre is the lead writer for the Hawkeye spin-off. The writers’ room also includes Bobby Wilson, Rebecca Roanhorse, Shoshannah Stern, Josh Feldman, Kaitlyn Jeffers, Steven Paul Judd, Jason Gavin, Ken Kristensen, Dara Resnik, and Jessica Mecklenburg.
