Echo executive producer Brad Winderbaum has teased a significant brawl between the titular superhero and Daredevil in the new show.
While promoting the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe series, which also launches the brand-new Marvel Spotlight banner, Winderbaum told Deadline that Charlie Cox's cameo as blind vigilante Matt Murdock is one to watch out for.
"The Daredevil scene is one of the best cameos we've ever done in a Marvel show or movie," Winderbaum began.

"It's not just thrown in there, it's fundamental to [Echo's] journey as a character. Her fight with Daredevil represents a huge triumph for Maya Lopez - that finally catches kind of the eye of Kingpin and contextualises her in a certain way in his criminal empire. It's important and it's incredible."
Echo debuted in the MCU during Hawkeye with actress Alaqua Cox, who previously confessed she wasn't too enthralled by the idea of acting until she realised the studio was looking to cast someone like herself for the part: a deaf Native American.
"The deaf community is in huge support of this role because they want to see deaf people represented in these deaf roles. Most of the time it's hearing people that take these roles, but finally authentic representation is here. So I'm excited for that, and so is everybody else," Cox said.

"Deaf people have really good visual skills. I can easily catch things. During training they were like: 'Oh, wow, you're a fast learner.' I was like: 'Well, I just watched you.'"
The star also wears a prosthetic leg, but said this doesn't negatively impact her when it comes to stunts: "People with a disability like me can do anything: We can fight, we can flip, we can fall. I'm excited for people to say: 'Wow, she can do that?'."
Echo is now streaming in its entirety on Disney+.
