Elektra isn't ready to give up the Daredevil mantle just yet!
After first suiting up as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen back in 2020 when Matt Murdock went to prison for manslaughter, internationally-feared assassin Elektra Natchios is set to return as Daredevil in the pages of a new Marvel Comics miniseries, Woman Without Fear.
Spinning out of Saladin Ahmed and Aaron Kuder’s Daredevil run, the series will mark writer Erica Schultz’s return to the character, following her work on Daredevil: Gang War. She will be joined by Hallow's Eve artist, Michael Dowling.
In her latest adventure, Elektra will make her way to Wolverine's old haunt of Madripoor, where she will face-off against the likes of Crossbones, the new Punisher, and more.
"After the stunning events of Daredevil #11, Daredevil’s allies are left more vulnerable than ever before," reads the official synopsis. "If they’re able to survive, it will fall to Elektra and Matt Murdock to not only save their city as Daredevil, but also protect the people they love the most as they’re targeted by some of the most dangerous, violent elements the Marvel Universe has to offer!"
"To say that I am excited about writing Daredevil again is an understatement," Schultz shared. "I love the mantle of Daredevil, but I really love Elektra as Daredevil. Having written both Matt and Elektra wearing the red DD, I kind of lean toward the latter now!"
Elektra was played by Jennifer Garner on the big screen, and Elodie Yung in Netflix's Daredevil series. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the character will appear in Disney+'s upcoming Daredevil: Born Again, despite the likes of Karen Page, Foggy Nelson and Fran Castle returning.
"Oh my gosh, I would love that," Yung said of potentially reprising the role for Born Again. "It’s so funny because my fans are like, 'Can you come back?' and I’m like, 'Ask Mr. Marvel, you have to ask Mr. Marvel for that, not me."
