First things first – with Echo, you won’t need to know everything that came before it in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Yes, it directly follows events in the 2021 Hawkeye Disney+ series, and to some extent, the previous Daredevil series on Netflix, but you don’t need to have watched those to understand what goes on in Echo, of which all five episodes are currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
