Elektra Returns in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3
Exciting Developments in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3
This year, behind-the-scenes footage from the production of Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 hinted at a potential reunion of the Defenders. In the previous season, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones had a supporting role, while Mike Colter's Luke Cage made a guest appearance. The upcoming season will feature Ritter, Colter, and Finn Jones as Danny Rand. However, they are not the only characters from the Netflix era making a comeback. Recent videos and images from the Marvel series being filmed in New York reveal the return of a beloved character from earlier iterations of Daredevil.
Elektra's Comeback in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3
Set leak videos shared by @jpphotography09 on X (formerly Twitter) confirmed that Élodie Yung will reprise her role as Elektra Natchios in the Marvel series. Yung previously portrayed Elektra in the MCU's Daredevil (2016) and The Defenders (2017) on Netflix. The footage showcased her in a hooded cloak, with her iconic red costume and boots clearly visible. Yung was also seen wielding her signature Sai during her scenes. The specifics of Elektra's return remain unclear, especially since her main rival, Bullseye (played by Wilson Bethel), has been featured in both seasons of Daredevil: Born Again. The dynamic between Elektra and Daredevil, portrayed by Charlie Cox, has evolved from adversaries to romantic interests and allies in the comics, leaving fans eager to see how their reunion unfolds in the next season after the Defenders' reunion.
Moreover, Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio), was spotted back on set after his exile at the conclusion of the previous season.
Daredevil's Connection to Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The upcoming film featuring Tom Holland and Zendaya, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled for release on July 31, 2026, will introduce villains from the Daredevil universe, including the Hand. Fans are left wondering if Daredevil or Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) will make an appearance in this cinematic adventure.
Showrunner Dario Scardapane expressed that Elektra was on his wish list and mentioned that the writers are exploring comic book storylines for future episodes. He shared with Comic Book Movie, "There’s the stuff that I would love to do, there’s the stuff that they’re doing in the larger MCU and sometimes those align and sometimes they don’t." Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is anticipated to premiere in 2027.
