Another reason people are pushing for femShep is in response to Henry Cavill previously teasing his association with a Mass Effect show, something many would prefer not to happen.įormer BioWare writer David Gaider chimed in on the subject of a Mass Effect show, describing himself as cringing at the thought. Another is that Jennifer Hale's performance as femShep is very highly regarded. One reason is that femShep was originally created as the canon Shepard by BioWare. One common thread shared by many Mass Effect fans is that femShep should be the protagonist of an adaptation, for many reasons.

Everyone who played Mass Effect likely had a different version of Commander Shepard. The biggest issue is, of course, that Commander Shepard isn't an easily defined character. One of the main subjects of concern is the role and casting of Mass Effect protagonist Commander Shepard. However, as fans are wont to do, excitement broke down into a more detail-focused discourse.
Fans were quick to respond in excitement over the possibility of the Mass Effect trilogy being adapted for television.
Failing to give Echo the spotlight in her own series would be a giant leap in the wrong direction.This past week a report came out claiming that a Mass Effect television show was currently being discussed between Amazon Studios and Electronic Arts, the parent company of BioWare. Nobody is going to say no to a Marvel Studios Daredevil series, but let that be its own entity. Marvel Studios has the chance to do something special with Echo and making it Daredevil Season 4 is simply not it. Making Murdock and Fisk big parts of the series would steal the spotlight from Maya Lopez’s story. Surrounding Alaqua Cox, in her own series, by a primarily white cast who don’t look like her would be nothing short of insulting and undermine having made her the star to begin with. But to be completely honest and fair, the talent of those actors isn’t really the issue. With Cox and D’Onofrio reprising their roles, the rest of the “main cast” of Daredevil is comprised of mostly white actors and actresses who, in comparison to Cox and D’Onofrio, just didn’t bring the same sort of unforgettable gravitas to their roles.
Making Echo the answer to #SaveDaredevil’s prayers would undo all the good will and great strides they’re making. These moves by Marvel Studios are truly unprecedented in the superhero/CBM genre. The writers’ room is expected to include Native American staff, potentially including Bobby Wilson, who has worked on Reservation Dogs and Rutherford Falls. Echo will feature Cox, a deaf, female, Native American amputee in the lead. And that series stands to be nothing short of groundbreaking…but not if they decide to go the rumored route detailed above. Cox came in and stood out in a series with returning MCU star Jeremy Renner and multitalented megastar Hailee Steinfeld stood out so well, in fact, that they made the decision early on to spin her off into her own series. However, giving one or both of them the spotlight in Echo while also using it as an opportunity to bring some of the rest of the Netflix cast to the MCU would only serve to undo some of the great strides Marvel Studios has made in their efforts to make the recent entries into their cinematic universe more representative of the real world.Īll signs point to newcomer Alaqua Cox having made quite an impression in her role as Lopez in Hawkeye. Both of these characters have rich comic book histories with Maya Lopez, aka Echo, and should rightly be a part of her story. These are great actors whose portrayals of their respective characters were so beloved by fans that they became synonymous enough with the roles to survive and make the jump to the MCU’s Sacred Timeline. Vincent D’Onofrio is rumored to be returning as a beefed up Kingpin in Hawkeye. That’s a big problem for Disney and Marvel Studios, should they chose to do it.Ĭharlie Cox is set to suit up as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home and rumored to suit up as Daredevil in She-Hulk.
Daredevil is trending following a rumor that the Marvel Studios Disney Plus streaming series Echo will see much of the cast of Netflix’s Daredevil return and “serve as sort of Daredevil Season 4.” While there’s been some clarification about exactly what the rumored returns would entail, the series is still rumored to heavily feature those characters.
