In light of Marvel Studios’ takeover of the Daredevil franchise, with the Netflix series now recognized as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) canon, there’s a hope that Elektra will be given a narrative arc in ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’ Elodie Yung’s recent interaction with fans on Instagram did nothing but heighten the speculation.
As ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ approaches, fans speculate about which characters from the original series will make their return to Hell’s Kitchen. Despite the confirmed return of Foggy Nelson, Karen Page, and Bullseye, the silence around Elektra left many wondering. When a fan asked her about Elektra’s whereabouts in the upcoming series on Instagram, Yung simply said:
“Ask them!”
This response fueled further debate among fans about whether Marvel Studios plans to reintegrate Elektra into the Daredevil storyline and, if so, how she will be woven into the series’ new direction. Below, you can see Agents of Fandom’s tweet with a screenshot of Yung’s reply.
