The Groundbreaking Casting of Alaqua Cox in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

<p>This is the second entry in my series Disabled People You Should Know, which tells the stories of disabled people who often don&rsquo;t get the recognition they deserve. This entry will cover martial artist-turned-actress Alaqua Cox, who plays the character Maya Lopez/Echo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).</p> <p>As Marvel begins to release more information about the upcoming Disney+ show&nbsp;<em>Echo</em>, fans are more hyped than ever to see Kingpin and Daredevil on screen together for the first time since the end of&nbsp;<em>Daredevil</em>&nbsp;on Netflix. For the disabled community, however, the opportunity to see a disabled woman as the title character in an MCU show is not only exciting, but also refreshing.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@alliedfunk/the-groundbreaking-casting-of-alaqua-cox-in-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-12940ca63751"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
