The anticipation for the release of “Daredevil: Born Again” is reaching a fever pitch as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) prepares to bring back one of its most beloved characters, Matt Murdock, portrayed by Charlie Cox. Set to premiere on March 4, 2025, the show promises to be a thrilling continuation of the storylines that fans fell in love with during the Netflix series. Alongside Cox, the show will see the return of Vincent D’Onofrio as the formidable Wilson Fisk, who is now running for mayor, and Jon Bernthal as the relentless Punisher. The inclusion of these iconic characters has set the stage for what could be one of the MCU’s most intense and action-packed series.
With the return of these familiar faces, fans are naturally curious about the potential reappearance of other notable characters from the original Netflix show. Among the most speculated is Elektra, portrayed by Élodie Yung. Although Elektra was presumed dead after the destruction of Midland Circle, her body was never found, leaving the door open for her return. Yung herself has expressed a keen interest in reprising her role, stating that she would love to return and that playing Elektra was incredibly fun. This has only fueled the theories and hopes of fans who are eager to see her character back in action.
Adding fuel to the fire is the recent news that “Daredevil: Born Again” has been renewed for a second season even before the first season has aired. This renewal has sparked new rumors about the potential casting of Elektra in the second season. Industry insider Daniel Richtman has reported a casting rumor that suggests the show is looking to cast a recurring female character in her 40s of Greek descent, with a contract lasting one year. While this is still unconfirmed by official sources, the timing of the leak aligns with Cox’s recent revelation that the second season will begin filming in March. This has led to widespread speculation that Elektra could indeed make her return, potentially recast with a new actress.
If the rumors are true, the recasting of Elektra could bring a fresh perspective to the character while still honoring the legacy established by Yung. The potential for a new actress to take on the role could inject new energy into the series and provide exciting new storytelling opportunities. As fans eagerly await the premiere of “Daredevil: Born Again,” the possibility of Elektra’s return adds an extra layer of excitement and intrigue to what is already shaping up to be a must-watch series.
