When Echo hits Disney+ on Jan. 10, 2024 it should premiere underneath the brand new Marvel Highlight banner full with a brand new intro-logo, scored by Oscar successful composer Michael Giacchino. Primarily, the brand new sub-category of Marvel is a branding for standalone fare, versus collection and films that connect with the better Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The sub-category will get its identify from an anthology comedian ebook collection first launched by Marvel in 1971, which featured new characters that readers didn’t have to totally decide to over a number of points.
The information was introduced at a Friday-night screening of the primary two episodes at The District at Choctaw Casinos & Resorts in Durant, Okla. as half of a bigger Choctaw Day celebration.
Per Marvel.com, Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming Brad Winderbaum on the screening stated, “Marvel Highlight provides us a platform to carry extra grounded, character-driven tales to the display screen, and within the case of Echo, specializing in street-level stakes over bigger MCU continuity.”
“Similar to comics followers didn’t have to learn Avengers or Improbable 4 to get pleasure from a Ghost Rider Highlight comedian,” he added, “our viewers doesn’t have to have seen different Marvel collection to grasp what’s occurring in Maya’s story.”
What’s ironic about placing Echo underneath the brand new Marvel Highlight banner is that the present truly connects to the better MCU. The collection facilities across the Native American deaf murderer Maya Lopez, who first appeared on Disney+’s Hawkeye. Additionally Vincent D’Onofrio’s dangerous man villain from the Disney/Netflix collection Daredevil, additionally starred in Hawkeye and continues his storyline in Echo.
