Echo, meanwhile, bucked the downward trend of superhero screened entertainment by breaking out of the pack with its unique characteristics. It debuted number one on both Disney+ and Hulu, and established actress Alaqua Cox as a viable lead. The show has continued to remain in the spotlight with Cox making several talk show appearances this week and with the show's director, Sydney Freeland, scheduled to appear at the Sundance Film Festival with a fireside chat at the IllumiNative's Indigenous House on Sunday.
The show also had a halo effect for Marvel: Daredevil seasons one and two, Hawkeye, and Punisher season one received major audience bumps, according to insiders.
Marvel is interested in doing more with the character and is already developing new ideas as it seeks to build out its street-level heroes.
