OK, I guess it makes sense for her to show up in the show then.

Well, even if she weren't connected, it's not unprecedented for these things to mix and match characters from different sources. For instance, many of Arrow's villains were Teen Titans characters -- Deathstroke, Brother Blood, Damien Darhk, Vigilante -- while Prometheus was a Justice League antagonist. And Felicity Smoak was a Firestorm character in the comics. On the Marvel side, Jessica Jones and Patsy (Trish) Walker weren't really connected; I think the show subbed in Trish for Carol Danvers. And Agent Carter got Madam Masque, traditionally an Iron Man villain.
 
Well that was quick. Footage as Alaqua Cox shooting as Echo.

Looks like she's deaf in real life as well, as you can see her interpreter there.

Cool, I always love to see them cast real people with disabilities in these kind of things.
 
Both Echo and Hawkeye have used the "Ronin" alias and costume, the same costume Clint was wearing in Japan in Endgame, at one point or another.

A buttload of "Hawkeye" casting news from Variety.

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/hawkeye-disney-plus-florence-pugh-vera-farmiga-cast-1234845371/

Florence Pugh, as rumoured.
Vera Farmiga as Kate's mother.
Tony Dalton as The Swordsman (Clint's mentor/trainer).
And most interesting Maya Lopez as Echo who is a character who would have fallen under the 'Daredevil' rights.

Damn, that's a lot of great actors added to the cast! Zahn McClarnon (Fargo, WestWorld) is also great. I don't know anything about any of those characters but the show has a killer cast going for it!
 
Oh, I missed Zahn McClarnon's name in the article, he was really good on Longmire and Westworld.

You think she'd have an agent or a manager or someone to suggest not posting anti-vaxxer crap.

Edit: Turns out she's also a fan of "curing" people of being gay.

2025! Looks like they're never going to catch up on the 'Endgame' time jump.

By the way, what are Marvel/Disney waiting on in regards to an official announcement at this point? Hell, even Jeremy Renner is posting photos of the trio to his Instagram.

Oh, that's right, the MCU jumped right over 2020, didn't they? I wonder if they had COVID. Well, with only half the population (of animals as well as people), it might not have spread as far, or even emerged in the first place. (Did Thanos make half the viruses go away too? Viruses aren't technically alive, though...)

Thanos saw the future, felt a little bit bad for us and made corona go away, as a freebie.
 
On a completely separate note, jump to 5.05 to watch Zendaya not very convincingly deny that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are in Spider-Man 3.

At least Zendaya's Emmy win will be a good way to shut down the detractors saying she's too poor an actress to play MCU MJ/Michelle. I mean, by "recognition" logic this makes her better than Dunst and closer to Emma Stone's level.

To be fair winning an Emmy doesn't automatically mean that you are a good actor. Personally I'm neutral on her, her character is horrid and shouldn't be around but it's not really her fault, it's the terrible writing of the MCU Spider-Man movies. as much as I hated The Amazing Spider-Man films, Emma Stone was the better actress and I like Kirsten Dunst character a lot better than Zendaya's although they might be at a similar acting level
