Sydney Freeland executive produced and directed the upcoming MCU Disney+ series, Echo. She recently spilled on how the titular character's powers and how they differ from the comics.

Different powers

“Her power in the comic books is that she can copy anything, any movement, any whatever. It's kind of lame,” Freeland revealed (via Variety). “I will say, that is not her power. I'll just kind of leave it at that.”

The series picks up after the events of Hawkeye. Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) leaves New York City and goes back home to Oklahoma. There, she attempts to reconnect with her Native American past and come to terms with her past.

Vincent D'Onofrio returns as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin after playing the role in Netflix's Daredevil. He made his MCU debut in Hawkeye will also star in Daredevil: Born Again. Caske Spencer, Graham Greene, and Cody Lightning also star in the series.
