For many longtime fans, Jennifer Garner remains the Elektra they first saw in live-action, even if her solo film didn’t land well. Later, during Netflix’s Daredevil run, Élodie Yung took on the role and quickly became a fan favorite as the skilled assassin and Matt Murdock’s love interest.
Now that Daredevil is being revived, speculation has grown about Yung’s possible return. A rumor from Beyond Reporter suggests she may have filmed scenes for Daredevil: Born Again, potentially appearing in episodes 6 or 7. However, since the series went through a major overhaul, much of the original material may have been scrapped, making the claim uncertain.
Élodie Yung recently addressed the idea of returning as Elektra, saying she’d love to step back into the role — and that fans constantly ask her about it. She explained how much she enjoyed playing the character, adding:
Oh my god, I would love that! My fans are like ‘Can you come back?’ I’m like, ask Mr. Marvel. You have to ask Mr. Marvel… I would gladly replay this part, are you kidding? She’s so much fun!
In Netflix’s original Daredevil series, Elektra was thought to have died in the collapse of Midland Circle. However, since her body was never recovered — and considering her history of coming back to life — a return isn’t out of the question. Flashbacks are also a possibility.
While the rumors don’t confirm anything yet, Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum has hinted that characters from The Defenders era, like Colleen Wing, could return if the right opportunity comes along. He teased even more surprises for fans with Daredevil: Born Again:
It’s all one shared universe, so you never know where characters are going to pop up next. It’s a huge opportunity to have officially folded those stories into our canon. Whether or not they were always part of the canon, it’s now official, and we can play with those toys in our toy box. There are surprises around the band that I won’t get into, but for fans of the Netflix shows, we’ve got a very exciting show on the horizon in Daredevil: Born Again.
