Release dates have been announced for the next slate of Marvel shows coming to Disney+. Also a first for Marvel will see one of their show drop a full season all at once, which deviates from the traditional form of weekly episode releases on the streaming channel.

Echo sought vengeance for the death of her father, one that ended with her being pitted against the infamous Kingpin played by Vincent D’Onofrio. D’Onofrio reprised his role for “Hawkeye” and will do so once so again in this new series. More fan favorites are attached to return in the series such as Charlie Cox as Daredevil. The MCU show’s inspiration comes from the world of the Daredevil comics which has fans excited for more grounded storytelling in these projects.

The new series tells the origin story of Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.

Loki Season 2 will bring back most of the cast from season one while also focusing on the repercussions of the shocking finale, which introduced Kang the Conquer to the MCU. Kang could have his story further explored in this latest season, as portrayed in an end credits scene from the latest Ant-Man film “Quantamania”.
