Even before the MCU officially declared Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ canon, the former 'Better Call Saul' writer and her 'Echo' writers' room watched a supercut of Kingpin's scenes to help them prepare for the show.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The number of influential filmmakers who watched Saul is at least a mile long (Steven Soderbergh, Guillermo del Toro, Darren Aronofsky to name a few), and the brass at Marvel Studios are all included in that group.
So it was hardly a surprise when Marvel sought out Saul writer-producer Marion Dayre to lead the writers’ room of Echo, a mature miniseries that’s centered on Maya Lopez/Echo (Alaqua Cox), who was first introduced as Wilson “Kingpin” Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) deaf enforcer on Hawkeye (2021).
She first co-wrote season two’s “Klick,” which put Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) on a collision course with Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) via a simple note on the former’s station wagon (“Don’t”).
Hawkeye EP Trinh Tran also told THR that Tony Dalton’s scene-stealing baddie on Saul, Lalo Salamanca, factored into the actor’s casting on that 2021 series.
Since Hawkeye and She-Hulk, people have been debating whether Wilson Fisk and Matt Murdock are literally the same characters from the former Netflix shows, and I’ve always thought that they were, even if it’s not always a carbon copy translation.
This choice would have set up an inevitable reunion with her ex-husband who was now known as Gene Takovic in Omaha, NE, however, the Saul writers’ room eventually changed her destination to Florida, creating more distance and less of a coincidence.]
