A few days beforeEchopremieres on bothDisney+andHulu, Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) and Daredevil (Charlie Cox) were seen fighting each other, in a sneak peek of the show that aired on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom. While the two heroes might have more in common than they realize, the confrontation appears to take place at an earlier point in their relationship, explaining why they’re fighting each other instead of focusing on how to take down their common enemy. Fans of theNetflixseries featuring Charlie Cox as the mysterious hero should be very excited about the footage.
The fight between Maya and Daredevil takes place inside a warehouse, with Alaqua Cox’s hero trying to find a weapon to fight against the intruder. The choreography used to depict the fight is reminiscent of what was seen in Cox’s Netflix series, with the fast-paced action taking place in long, continuous takes. While the team behindEchocould’ve used multiple quick cuts to set the pace for the fight, like other productions set in theMarvel Cinematic Universe, they opted to display the enormous amount of talent of the stunt performers featured in the upcoming miniseries.
Maya also attempts to use her prosthetic leg and distinctive fighting skills to her advantage, but the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is able to effortlessly leap over a fence to get to his target. Before the sneak peek comes to an end, the characters are revealed to be clashing in a warehouse behind a roller skating ring, with the aftermath of their confrontation left as a mystery. When the miniseries directed bySydney Freelandpremieres this month, viewers will find out if Maya and Daredevil are able to work together, or if the two heroes will go on separate ways while they look for justice.
