RUMOR: We Finally Know Whether Elodie Yung's Elektra Will Return In DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - SPOILERS

Much has been said about the chances of us seeing Elodie Yung reprise her role as Elektra in future seasons of Daredevil: Born Again, and a new rumour claims to set the record straight on her MCU future.

With Daredevil: Born Again making Netflix's Marvel TV shows (mostly) canon, all eyes are on which characters from that era will be next to make their MCU debuts. 

We got Jon Bernthal's Punisher in Season 1—next up for him are a Special Presentation and Spider-Man: Brand New Day—with Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones set to follow in Season 2. Rumour has it there are also plans for Mike Colter to reprise his role as Luke Cage, but what of Elektra?

The previous iteration of Marvel Television dropped the ball on Elektra in Daredevil and The Defenders. Her death and quick resurrection as a pawn of The Hand failed to do the comics justice, and those creative missteps overshadowed Elodie Yung's otherwise compelling performance. 

While Elektra is believed dead, we know that the assassin is very hard to kill, and fans remain eager to see her re-enter the Man Without Fear's life. Well, according to scooper Daniel Richtman, "I have confirmed Elektra is coming back. Not sure if it's for season 2 or 3 [though]." 

In the comics, Elektra has recently become Daredevil herself, suiting up as her own version of the masked vigilante. If fan theories about the series ending with Matt Murdock being imprisoned are correct, then that's the direction the MCU could be headed in for Season 3. 

Daredevil: Born Again writer Jesse Wigutow recently spoke with IGN and was asked about Season 2. "I obviously can't say very much, but it's a very big muscular season that revolves around Fisk in office as mayor. There's a lot of political intrigue and palace intrigue."

"What I think is really awesome about the season is that ultimately... [we have] all these moving pieces and this big kind of canvas of New York City, but at the end of the day, it's about these two characters that you care about most, almost the two face-to-face in a playground. "

"That's the idea. They hate each other, but they need each other," Wigutow teased. "And how do they get through that? That's ultimately what it all comes down to. And I think we did a really fun job of delivering that."

It seems we'll have to wait and see when and where Elektra will make her presence felt in the Disney+ series, but this news will be welcomed by fans of the character. All signs point to us getting a full-blown Defenders reunion, albeit without poor Iron Fist.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will return to Disney+ early next year. The series has also been renewed for a third season

I’d be interested in seeing her return, for sure.

I thought she was fantastic in the role and never understood why fans didn't respond to her. Give her some better material to play with, but the MUC needs an Electra. Have her and Garner team up in Doomsday with DD, Punisher, and Spidey

@Bucky74 - she was miles ahead of Garner's portrayal in terms of resembling the comics and just overall character depth in my opinion.

I mean , it’s still a rumor so unless the trades or Marvel themselves confirm it then we don’t know for sure that Elodie is back as Elektra or not…

However if she is then I’m down for it since I enjoyed her take on the character personally so I would be into seeing more!!.

I’m guessing that we would see her in S3 rather then 2 since that seems like it will be focused moreso on the conclusion to the Mayor Fisk storyline.

Speaking of S2 , I like how he described it because essentially I felt the same for BA S1 aswell…

The Netflix show felt more like an ensemble piece at times while this D+ iteration as of now is moreso focused on Matt & Fisk as these 2 men who tried to suppressed their more violent natures but failed so it feels more like a character study on them then anything else though I do hope the supporting characters like Cherry ,Kristen & such are fleshed out more moving forward!!.

@Simonsonrules - I second this. A lot of contradictions in rumour headlines on this site.

Couldn’t stand her Elektra but I genuinely don’t know if it’s her or the writing.

I loved Elodie Yung as Elektra! She was one of the main reasons Daredevil season 2 was my favorite of the three seasons on Netflix. I’ll welcome her back!

We need Elektra in Marvel Zombies season 2 with an army of Hand Ninjas at her disposal with Xi Xialing commanding an army of Ten Ring operatives with Tao Lo and the Great Protector. Have RiRi being helped by the Defenders led by Daredevil and have Bucky become Khonshu's new Moon Knight aka "Moon Soldier".

Elodie Young was perfect casting for Elektra, so it would be very cool if she returns.

She was one of the highlights of the Netflix DD show in my opinion. That would be cool to get her in the MCU. I think she could be an interesting character to play off some of the other characters.

Hopefully the material is better this time around because I was so bored every time her wooden performance was onscreen. Just waiting for more compelling actors to show up

How about an Elektra that's Greek and looks Greek?
