Elektra Is Returning to the MCU
Elodie Yung is set to return as Elektra in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3. While Marvel Studios has not issued a formal announcement, set photos and video from filming in New York have confirmed Yung back in costume as the character. Yung originated the role in the Netflix Daredevil series and later appeared in The Defenders, and her return to the MCU in Season 3 is a significant addition to an already stacked cast.
Who Is Elektra?
Elektra Natchios is one of the most complex characters in Daredevil’s world. A master assassin trained by the Hand, she shares a deep and complicated history with Matt Murdock that spans love, betrayal, death, and resurrection. In the Netflix series, Yung’s portrayal of Elektra was widely praised for bringing both ferocity and emotional depth to the character, and her arc across Season 2 and The Defenders left her story in a place full of unresolved threads.
With Daredevil: Born Again having successfully brought back Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, Yung’s return completes another major piece of what made the original Netflix run so compelling. Her comeback also folds into a broader Defenders reunion, with Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones all set to reprise their roles.
What to Expect in Season 3
Details about Elektra’s role in Season 3 are being kept under wraps, but her return opens up a wealth of storytelling possibilities. The character’s connection to the Hand, her relationship with Daredevil, and the circumstances of her last known fate all give the writers plenty of material to work with. Production is underway in New York, reportedly wrapping in the summer of 2026, with the season expected to premiere in 2027.
Daredevil: Born Again has been one of Marvel’s stronger Disney+ series, successfully threading the needle between the grittier tone of the Netflix era and the broader MCU. Elektra’s return in Season 3 suggests the show is continuing to lean into what made the original so beloved. Learn more about the Daredevil: Born Again renewal and what lies ahead.
