Almost 10 years after we last saw her on screen, Elektra is officially back, as the first look at star Élodie Yung's big return in Daredevil: Born Again season 3 has leaked online.
The video, posted on Instagram by JP Photography, shows Yung in what looks to be an updated version of her usual black and red get-up, with a black robe. The star wields Elektra's signature blades before entering a building. Marvel has yet to comment on the leak, but it looks legit, and JP Photography has posted set images before.

It is not clear if the shot is from a scene or if it is just Yung practising her moves. But fans are certainly glad to see her back. "Dude, my goat is back," said one fan on Reddit, and another added, "She heard of Karen and Heather catfighting about Matt and immediately came home to show them what a real demon looks like."
Yung made her on-screen Marvel debut in the Daredevil Netflix series, but the character died at the end of Daredevil Season 2. However, after being resurrected by The Hand, Elektra returned in The Defenders series. But after a building collapsed onto her, her fate was left open-ended. Well, it looks like a few bricks were not enough to stop the ninja, as Elektra is back, and it looks like she is still up for fighting crime.
Elektra is the latest character from the original Netflix series to join the MCU show. Picking up years after the main show ended, Born Again continues Matt Murdock's tale as a blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night. Alongside Charlie Cox as Daredevil, the spin-off has brought back Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson (albeit briefly), Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle.
Then, Daredevil: Born Again season 2 saw the return of Defenders star Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. But Elektra isn't the only Marvel hero from the Netflix days to be making a comeback. Earlier leaks from Born Again season 3 confirm that Defenders stars Mike Colter and Finn Jones will be returning as Luke Cage and Danny Rand.
However, it will be interesting to see what part Elektra plays in the upcoming season. Will she act as an ally to Murdock, or will we stir up more trouble as she has done in the past? We will just have to wait and see.
Daredevil: Born Again season 3 is expected to hit Disney Plus sometime in March 2027. For more, check out how to watch the Marvel movies in order, and keep up with Marvel Phase 6 with our guide to upcoming Marvel movies and shows.
