Marvel’s Echoexplored Wilson Fisk’s backstory which reminded fans of his tragic journey in Netflix’sDaredevil. However, many noticed a few changes that questioned whether the past events were canon or not. Alaqua Cox’s series has been seemingly hinting to fans through its marketing that the likes ofDaredevil,Punisher, andJessica Jonesare part of the MCU franchise.
Fans are indeed quite observant when it comes to the smallest details in any Marvel show, but this one small change has bothered a lot of them. Is the show telling us something, or was it just a careless mistake?

Wilson Fisk’s Hammer inMarvel’s EchoIs Stressing Out Fans
A user fromTwittershared a collage photo ofVincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin fromMarvel’s Echoand a younger version of Wilson Fisk fromMarvel’s Daredevilwhere both of them were holding a hammer.
This is not just an ordinary hammer but the one used by Fisk to kill his abusive father. Its new design shockingly unsettled fans – one was a conventional hammer, while the other had a rounded head.
There were a few changes in Kingpin’s story, but the gist of it remains the same, although this was already enough to stir debate and cause confusion among fans.Echo’s Fisk held the same reason as theDaredevilshow as to why he murdered his father, so it could be settled that the Netflix series was truly canon.

The original hammer was facing some serious allegations😭😭
Yeah I don’t know why they recasted the hammer it’s so stupid 💀 my theory is that the hammer didn’t fit in the box so they had to go to the prop department and get a smaller one instead of making a whole new box.

Fisk probably just bought it for a random hardware store if he ain’t going to the bother of learning sign language for Maya why do you think he’s bother to get the real hammer

Has to be variants bruh, im not crazy they just had similar arcs to the netflix versions

The change in the style of the hammer could mean anything, possibly withEcho’s Episode 5 attempting to show the audience how Maya Lopez tried to heal Kingpin from his traumatic childhood experience.

Vincent D’Onofrio Talks AboutEchoAndDaredevil: Born Again
In an interview withEntertainment Weekly, Vincent D’Onofrio shares his thoughts aboutEchoand its role in setting up forCharlie Cox’sDaredevil: Born Again.
“With the show we’re about to restart, the reception of Echo so far is helping everybody understand that this is a really good tone for Daredevil too. I think Born Again is heading in that direction in a major way now.”
The actor also revealed his hopes on how he would want fans to see Daredevil and Kingpin in the upcoming series.
“Charlie and I have always felt that our characters are best seen not in a grotesquely violent way, but in a smartly violent way. There’s a smart way of doing it in Echo, and so we’re very happy right now.”
All episodes of Marvel’sEchoare now streaming via Disney+ and Hulu.Daredevil: Born Againis expected to arrive in late 2024 or early 2025.
