Elektra is resurrected
However, questions remain as to how Elektra will re-enter the story, as her character seems to have met her end in ‘The Defenders’. His return comes at a time when the villainous organization The Hand is making waves to feature in an epic showdown with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’. His return raises the question of whether he could make his MCU debut in the upcoming Spidey film.Since Hand’s fate will only be decided in July when the film is released, it remains unknown if the organization will factor into future episodes of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’.Elodie’s Elektra has already risen from the dead three times. Besides that, another version of the character played by Jennifer Garner was also resurrected in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’. Garner previously portrayed the character opposite Ben Affleck in 2003’s Daredevil and later headlined the standalone Elektra.
