The first show to air under the new Marvel spotlight banner, Echo, has a new trailer out now. Echo, which is more akin to Daredevil, has been officially given a TV-MA rating, making it the first series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to do so. Many fans are already interested in the series because of its drastic departure from previous MCU shows, which will debut on Disney+ and Hulu on January 9. The brand-new teaser trailer, which manages to cram a lot of gory violence into a minute, proudly displays the TV-MA rating. Marvel Entertainment has provided the new trailer, which you can watch below. Disney+ character Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) is reimagined in Echo, an origin story where her “ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown.” If she is to move forward, she will have to confront her past, rediscover her Native American roots, and learn to value community and family.” As a spinoff of Hawkeye, which starred Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk and Cox’s Maya Lopez, the show is notable for being the first MCU program to receive a TV-MA rating. This is a part of Marvel Studios’ decision to accept higher adult ratings for some MCU films, as evidenced by the announcement that both Deadpool 3 and the Blade reboot will have R ratings.

According to D’Onofrio, the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series will air on Marvel Spotlight and will share a similar dark “tone and feel” with the previous series that streamed at Netflix. The show was paused midway through production in order to give it a creative reboot and bring in a new creative team to bring back elements of the original Daredevil series. There is a promise that every Marvel Spotlight show will have “more grounded, character-driven stories” with an emphasis on “street-level stakes over larger MCU continuity.” Along with Graham Greene (1883), Zahn McClarnon (Dark Winds), Devery Jacobs (Reservation Dogs), Cody Lightning (Four Sheets to the Wind), Tantoo Cardinal (Killers of the Flower Moon), and Chaske Spencer (Wild Indian) are also featured in Echo. While Marion Dayre created the MCU series for the small screen, David Mask and Joe Quesada created the character of Echo.
