A new set video from Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is making waves across social media. The footage shows Charlie Cox and Élodie Yung filming a fight scene together in New York City. This marks the first time both actors have been seen on set together since Yung’s return as Elektra was confirmed.
The clip, which has quickly gone viral among Marvel fans, shows Cox wearing the lower half of Daredevil’s new black-and-red suit while Yung appears in an updated Elektra costume. The video confirms that Matt Murdock and Elektra are back on screen together, reigniting their intense and complicated dynamic.
Elektra Returns to the MCU After Nearly a Decade
Élodie Yung first played Elektra Natchios in Daredevil Season 2 (2016) and later in The Defenders (2017). Her character was last seen when Midland Circle collapsed around her and Matt Murdock, leaving her presumed dead. Now, set photos and videos confirm she is back in full costume.
The new Elektra costume features a black-and-red ninja suit with more red than her previous outfit. She also wears her signature dual sais, the twin daggers she is known for. The design blends elements from her Netflix appearances with a more comic-accurate look.
Yung’s return had been rumored for months. She fueled speculation earlier this year by posting workout videos on Instagram that fans quickly analyzed for hints. Those rumors became reality when set photos surfaced on June 24, 2026.
What the Set Video Reveals About the Fight Scene
The viral set video shows Charlie Cox and Élodie Yung in what appears to be a fight sequence. The two Marvel characters are seen clashing, though the reason for their confrontation remains unclear.
Some fans believe the scene shows Elektra defending herself with her sai against Matt. Others think Elektra might try to recruit Matt to her side, possibly even offering him a new suit that matches hers.
The footage has sparked debate about whether this moment is a flashback, a dream sequence, or Elektra’s official return to the main timeline. Jack Mulhern is also spotted in the footage, playing a character named Philip who runs toward the camera in the first two seconds of the clip.
Matt Murdock Gets a New Costume Too
The set video also reveals that Charlie Cox is wearing a new Daredevil suit. The costume takes the Hell’s Kitchen crime-fighter back to a black-and-red design, bringing another comic book look to life in the MCU.
This new suit appears inspired by one of Matt Murdock’s more armored costumes from the comics. Given that Matt spends much of the season’s opening stretch in prison after revealing his identity at the end of Season 2, the new suit likely signals a shift in how Daredevil operates.
In the comics, the black-and-red suit is closely tied to the Shadowland arc, where Matt falls into corruption and takes control of The Hand. The Hand is the same ninja clan that revived and turned Elektra into the Black Sky.
A Full Defenders Reunion Is Coming
Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is shaping up to be a major reunion for the original Marvel-Netflix Defenders roster. Krysten Ritter is returning as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter is back as Luke Cage, and Finn Jones is reprising his role as Danny Rand.
Adding Elektra to that lineup gives Season 3 what may be the most complete gathering of the old Netflix Marvel cast in a single season. The season also features Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle.
Showrunner Dario Scardapane is weaving these characters directly into the main MCU timeline. When asked about Elektra’s possible return earlier this year, Scardapane teased:
“The best way I could put this without giving too much away is that there’s the stuff that I would love to do, there’s the stuff that they’re doing in the larger MCU and sometimes those align and sometimes they don’t.”
Fan Reactions to Elektra’s Comeback
Marvel fans who have followed these characters since the Netflix era consider this reunion a major victory. Many are sharing memes and GIFs and celebrating across social media platforms.
One fan wrote on Reddit:
“They are pulling out all the stops for S3. So so so so so excited to see it!!!!!”
Another fan commented on the packed season:
“Matt Murdock’s prison arc with Powell, Fisk in exile, new Bullseye suit, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage may run for mayor, the return of Danny Rand and Elektra, the redemption of Cole North. This season is going to be STACKED.”
Some fans speculate that Elektra might take on the Daredevil mantle while Matt is in prison, referencing a popular comic book storyline. In the comics, Elektra returned to New York to honor Matt after he was imprisoned and actually became a new Daredevil herself.
However, not all fans are pleased. Some found Elektra frustrating to watch in the original series. One viewer commented:
“This is just an enormous red flag for me. Elektra was legitimately THE WORST character in the entire OG show. She was VERY ANNOYING, sometimes even to the point I wanted to turn off the show when she appeared on screen.”
How Elektra Could Fit Into Season 3’s Story
The timing of Elektra’s return is particularly interesting. Season 2 ended with Matt Murdock revealing to the world that he is Daredevil, which resulted in him going to prison. With Matt sidelined behind bars, someone else may need to step up and protect Hell’s Kitchen.
Elektra’s history in the comics as an eventual successor to the Daredevil mantle has fueled speculation about how large her role might be. Her ties to The Hand also raise questions about the ninja clan’s role in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day film, which releases on July 31, 2026.
Karen Page and Matt are building a deeper relationship in the revival series. Elektra’s sudden return is set to bring intense emotional conflict back to Hell’s Kitchen.
Release Information for Daredevil: Born Again Season 3
Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is currently filming in New York. Production began in March 2026, with showrunner Dario Scardapane confirming filming is expected to wrap in early July 2026.
