Alaqua Cox stars as Maya Lopez, a skilled fighter who was first seen in the Disney+ series, "Hawkeye."
In "Echo," viewers saw Maya return home to reconnect with her Native American roots and escape her violent past with former father figure, Kingpin, played by Vincent D'Onofrio.
"(Kingpin) and Maya have a very, you know, intense emotional connection," Cox told On The Red Carpet through an interpreter. "He's such an amazing actor to work with."
"She's an amputee. She's deaf. She's a newcomer to this whole acting thing," D'Onofrio said. "She represents this huge community of Indigenous people. You know, it's such an amazing thing."
"Echo" is streaming on Disney+.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+ and this ABC station.
