Hawkeye: 8 Big Questions Raised By Episodes 1 & 2
2. What Is Maya Lopez' Story?
Waiting a full week between each MCU episode on Disney+ is hard enough at the best of times, however it becomes even worse after a cliffhanger like episode two of Hawkeye had. Fans are already desperate for the next chapter in the story, and a lot of that has to do with Maya Lopez.
After Clint got himself captured by the Tracksuit Mafia, looking for a conversation with their boss, she was soon revealed. Alaqua Cox' Maya Lopez is set to be a big part of Hawkeye, so much so that she, as her superhero alias Echo, will be getting her own spin off series on Disney+, though the episode ended before giving anything away.
She is a relatively obscure character, and not one that many in the mainstream will recognise, but instantly she is intriguing. In the comics, she has something of a checkered history, but soon winds up as a hero, even fighting with the Avengers at one point. She will surely go through this same journey in the MCU, but how will she get there from leading the Tracksuit Mafia?
The answer to this question could be almost anything, but maybe she isn't actually in charge at all. What if she is working underneath the top dog, and is ready to breakaway in a similar way to how Natasha defected to SHIELD, or Valkyrie joined the Revengers. This leads us onto the biggest question of all...
