With all five episodes of Echo now streaming on Hulu and Disney+, Marvel fans quickly dove into the TV-MA miniseries and were immediately rewarded with a badass cameo from Charlie Cox as Daredevil.
In the premiere episode, Maya goes to work for the Kingpin (Vincent D’Onoforio) where she’s tasked with helping two of his goons clear out a rival operation. After getting over her initial shock at the violence and bloodshed, Maya quickly proves herself to be a capable asset and even relishes taking out her adversaries. Outside of a few wounds, it’s a successful mission all around. Until Daredevil shows up.
Building on the already brutal choreography that was a staple of the Marvel Netflix series, Echo holds her own against Daredevil, which is no easy task. (Kingpin knows she’s something special after this encounter.) But our boy Charlie Cox is operating on another level and is considerably more agile than anything Marvel fans have seen before. People are loving it and started going wild on social media shortly after Echo started streaming.
You can see some of the reactions below and head to Disney+ for the full fight scene.

After watching #Echo, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t great to see Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin and Charlie Cox’s Daredevil again. They don’t play big roles early on, but fans will be pleased nonetheless.

So happy to see Daredevil again. Especially in such a badass scene. It’s even better now that the netflix show is confirmed canon. #Daredevil pic.twitter.com/kLvmGP819S
