After all, Elektra isn’t the one doable alternative for Matt Murdock on the streets of Hell’s Kitchen. The jail plot line on the present units up The Satan in Cell Block D, a 2005 story during which Matt goes to jail after having his identification revealed. In that storyline, Danny Rand places on a Daredevil costume to not simply defend the town, however to additionally show that Matt couldn’t be the red-clad superhero. With Jones coming again into the fold, Danny appeared just like the almost certainly candidate to switch Matt, particularly since Elektra appeared to die in The Defenders.
For many who don’t keep in mind (and nobody would blame you, since it is extremely boring), The Defenders constructed on season 2 of Daredevil to place Elektra as “the Black Sky,” a dwelling weapon created by the Hand ninja clan. Alexandra Reid (Sigourney Weaver) tried to resurrect Elektra because the Black Sky, however the latter killed Reid and established herself as the brand new head of the Hand. The sequence ended with Daredevil dealing with off towards Elektra and, Matt Murdock being Matt Murdock, attempting to speak her out of being evil. As normal, Matt’s moral arguments solely partially work, and Elektra appears to die in an explosion.
After all, we by no means noticed Elektra’s physique on the finish of The Defenders. And, even when we did, Elektra dies and will get resurrected a lot that she would possibly as effectively be a part of the X-Males.
The larger query is what she’s doing in season 3 of Daredevil: Born Once more. She would possibly simply seem in a flashback, not not like the occasionally-resurrected Foggy Nelson and never-resurrected Wesley in season 2. Or, she might be there for some Hand ninja shenanigans, which make us look even more durable at photographs of Hand ninjas attacking a jail within the trailers for Spider-Man: Model New Day.
The only reply is probably going probably the most right. As within the comics, Matt’s religion within the inherent goodness of Elektra, a lady who has killed numerous individuals, has lastly paid off. She’s going to grow to be the brand new Daredevil, if solely to save lots of us from having to observe Danny Rand attempt to be the Man With out Concern.
