Alaqua Cox shared a video of her maintaining her superhero physique after completing filming on the Disney+ series Hawkeye.
The video sees the actor deadlifting what appears to be 235 lbs. for multiple reps. "I can now dead lift more than my body weight," the caption reads. The comments on the video include words of encouragement from Cox's Hawkeye co-star Fra Free ("Awesome Alaqua!") and her fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Lauren Ridloff ("Fierce!").
Cox was announced as part of the cast of Hawkeye in December. She will make her on-screen acting debut as Maya Lopez/Echo, a Deaf Native American assassin with the ability to perfectly mimic any action she sees performed, similar to the Avengers villain Taskmaster. Because Echo debuted as a supporting character of Daredevil, her appearance in Hawkeye is fueling rumors that the series might see the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock or Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.
Behind-the-scenes photos from the set of Hawkeye saw Cox in a fairly accurate recreation of Echo's costume. In March, it was also reported that Disney+ is developing an Echo spinoff series starring Cox. Etan and Emily Cohen are attached to write and produce the spinoff, but details beyond that are scarce.
Hawkeye premieres Nov. 24 on Disney+.
