The Marvel Disney Plus shows have become a staple in the viewing habits of every fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With shows ranging from Loki to Ms. Marvel, there seems to be something for just about every MCU fan. The latest news, however, isn’t very good – as it’s been revealed that an upcoming series has been hit with a pretty major delay.
Delays with many studios aren’t exactly a new thing – but when one happens with something like Marvel Studios, it causes shifts with other projects and causes everything to shuffle and rearrange given the huge nature of the projects that the studio makes.
Many fans have been hoping to see the Disney Plus Marvel series Echo sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, one of the show’s writers has stated that probably won’t be the case.
This was revealed via head writer Marion Dayre who spoke on Ben Blacker’s Writers Panel podcast via Cosmic Circus. Although the series was previously expected to hit mid-summer in 2023, that no longer appears to be the case.
As they explained, the series will now more than likely be released in December 2023 if not later. Here’s what Dayre stated:
“That will be probably a year from when this comes out,” Dayre noted.
Of course, like we stated, these delays usually impact several MCU projects given how interconnected they all must be. If Echo takes the Winter 2023/2024 slot previously held by Agatha: Coven of Chaos, then it seems more than likely that Coven of Chaos will be delayed as well. It also remains to be seen if this will potentially impact the release date of Daredevil: Born Again. Though additional delays are merely speculation at this point – so we’ll just have to wait and see.
Hopefully we’ll have additional details regarding Echo and the reason for this delay in the near future. Fans have been excited to see Alaqua Cox as Echo in her very own solo series. Now we know that there will be a longer wait before we can see her back in action. Unless, of course, she manages to appear elsewhere in the growing Marvel Cinematic Universe between now and then.
It’s currently unknown when Echo will be streaming on Disney Plus. As for now, however, fans can see Alaqua Cox’s titular character make her first appearance in Hawkeye. The limited series Hawkeye is currently available to stream on Disney Plus. Additionally, stay tuned to ScreenGeek for additional updates as we have them.
