The HAWKEYE series for Disney Plus has been filming in NYC, and today VARIETY is reporting some new casting for the show.
Included in the list are newcomer Alaqua Cox and Zahn McClarnon.
Cox will be playing Maya Lopez, who we all know is Echo. This will be her first role onscreen. McClarnon will play her father, William Lopez, who went by Willie "Crazy Horse" Lincoln in the Parts of a Hole storyline by David Mack, Joe Quesada, Jimmy Palmiotti and Richard Isanove.

While Daredevil fans would have preferred to have the character show up in a Daredevil show, maybe there will be a connection to Wilson Fisk later which could lead to Daredevil... but right now, who knows.
Echo has the connection with Hawkeye as the former Ronin... might be going in that direction.
Joining the show along with Cox and McClarnon are Hailee Steinfeld, Vera Farmiga, Florence Pugh, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton. Jeremy Renner reprises his role as Clint Barton.
HAWKEYE does not yet have a release date on Disney Plus. Filming continues in NYC.
