Watchers of Marvel’s Echo will be able to choose to view the miniseries in the official Indigenous voice of the protagonist. Director Sydney Freeland stated in an interview that “telling the story of Echo in the actual Choctaw language helps make our character more authentic to her heritage, because we get to delve into the specifics of Choctaw culture and traditions.” Freeland, who is of Navajo descent, noted that the languages of the two cultures are fundamentally different, saying, “One of the things that was important for us was making sure that we had people who were experts in Choctaw language.” However, a lot of very fantastic things came out of that partnership; in particular, we get to witness a part of pre-European contact America in our second episode that, I can honestly say, has never been seen on film. That directly resulted from our efforts to portray a more truthful tale in partnership with the Choctaw Nation.” A glimpse inside Echo’s Choctaw dub recording session was given by the accompanying behind-the-scenes video, which featured many performers reciting lines for significant parts. Terri Billy, the assistant director, conversed with Entertainment Weekly on the value of being a language interpreter and expressed gratitude for the chance to tell a tale. “My entire life, I have been translating the world between Choctaw and English. The dilemma of tribal language loss has made me more determined to find ways to maintain the language in all of its forms from social discussions to spirituality and to draw in new speakers, she said.
Marvel released a second video for Echo in November, this time including authentic Choctaw subtitles for the audio narration of criminal Wilson Fisk. Alaqua Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio will once again portray Echo/Maya Lopez and Fisk; the former will make his Hawkeye debut, while the latter will reprise his legendary Daredevil role in the Disney+ series’ climax. Charlie Cox, the actor of Daredevil, will also make an appearance on Echo after making brief cameos in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Devery Jacobs, on the other hand, will portray a lady named Bonnie; however, she refuted rumours that connected the character to her original What If…? protagonist Kahhori. Echo’s first three episodes are expected to last 49, 39, and 42 minutes each, according to a December report, which puts the show’s duration in line with earlier Marvel Disney+ episodes. Meanwhile, Echo has received mostly excellent reviews from critics thus far, with many applauding its “grounded” interpretation of Maya’s narrative, a la Netflix.
