Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Shocks with Unexpected Character Return!

by

Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again holds promise for reintroducing the occasionally overlooked character from the Netflix Defenders. One intriguing aspect of the second installment of the Charlie Cox-starring series is the suggestion that more figures from the Netflix Marvel universe will be incorporated into the upcoming Disney+ reboot of Daredevil. The announcement that Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones will reprise her Marvel role in forthcoming episodes sparks anticipation about who else might join the cast from Netflix’s tenure with the franchise, suggesting boundless possibilities.

As a passionate cinema enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the return of Daredevil in “Born Again” Season 2. The rumors swirling around have repeatedly mentioned fan favorites like Luke Cage and Iron Fist. However, one intriguing name that could potentially join this exciting ride is Elektra, skillfully portrayed by Elodie Yung.

Initially introduced by Yung in the second season of Netflix’s Daredevil series, the character based on a classic Marvel figure became a key element in Yung’s interpretation of the universe. Subsequently, she made appearances in subsequent seasons of the primary Daredevil series and the Defenders show as well.

In Season 3 of Daredevil, she made appearances in flashbacks after being assumed dead and then resurrected, but did not reconnect with Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock before the end of his Netflix series. This implies that she remains unaccounted for when Born Again resumes the Daredevil narrative, allowing Matt to once more engage in conflict with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin.

Why Elektra Makes Sense for Daredevil: Born Again

As more of the Defenders join the cast for “Daredevil: Born Again,” I can’t help but feel that Elektra, played by Elodie Yung, would be an ideal addition to rejoin the fray alongside Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock. It just feels right!

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel validated by Yung herself expressing her belief that Elektra deserves a grand revival. The actress has been vocal about her desire to revisit the character, subtly hinting to us fans that she shares our longing for an Elektra comeback.

On May 30, 2025, Yung shared a tribute to the character Daredevil on her Instagram Story. In response to a video featuring her portrayal of Elektra and Matt Murdock, played by Charlie Cox, she simply expressed, “I really like that.” This was discussed on Reddit.

The actress who played Daredevil expressed her ongoing excitement for the character and Marvel universe earlier, telling TooFab in March 2024, “I’d be thrilled for that” when asked about joining Born Again if offered the chance. This indicates that she is open to reprising her role in a possible Born Again project.

Wow, that sounds great! It’s amusing because people keep asking if I could return, but I tell them they should inquire with Mr. Marvel instead; it’s not up to me.

Regarding Elektra featuring prominently in the “Born Again” storyline, series executive producer Sana Amanat hinted to Entertainment Weekly that the character was definitely under consideration: “She’s firmly… on our mind.

It’s definitely at the back of our minds, and we plan to explore it further down the line.

Such rumors have emerged about Yung possibly shooting certain episodes for the show, however, these allegations lack any tangible evidence.

In the discussion surrounding Season 2 of Born Again, it’s been suggested that flashback scenes could play a significant role. This might pave the way for characters like Elden Henson’s deceased Foggy Nelson to reappear. A captivating idea would be to incorporate flashbacks depicting the past collaboration between Daredevil and Elektra, thus strengthening the narrative connection between the Netflix storyline and the new Disney+ series.

Since Elektra and her elite ninja group, the Hand, played such a significant role in the later seasons of Daredevil and the Defenders miniseries, it seems logical that she should return, particularly if characters like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist are also set to reappear (either confirmed or speculated).

There’s plenty of story potential left for the Elektra character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), given that Matt, at the end of Season 1, appears to be single after the breakup with his girlfriend, who is now the Commissioner of Mental Health under Mayor Wilson Fisk.

If the storyline is considering bringing Elektra back into the current plot, her presence could add intrigue, given her past relationship with Matt, rather than just using flashbacks to their history.

Just as The Punisher is integral to the storyline of Daredevil, Elektra plays a similarly significant role. Given Marvel Studios’ ongoing focus on tales featuring Charlie Cox’s red-suited superhero, it seems inevitable that Elektra will make an appearance again at some point in future stories.
