The Defenders
Elektra Natchios will be a changed cleaning woman , the next clock time that we see her . While the elemental focus of Netflix ’s upcomingThe Defendersminiseries is course the four penis of the titular squad , they are far from the only casting member - as nearly every support character of consequence from prior seasons ofDaredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , andIron Fistwill also be making an appearance during thegrand team - up spectacle . One of the most important to engagement is Elektra Natchios , a fellow protege of Stick who Matt Murdock fell crazily in love with , despite their different ism of life .
A vernacular part of Daredevil ’s backstory , Elektra tends to alternate between a friend and a enemy , similar in some ways to the antagonistic yet often romantic relationship between Batman and Catwoman . She served that same purpose duringDaredevilseason 2 , working both for and against Matt ’s destination on different function . Her biggest struggles were against her urge to kill , one that Matt of course vehemently disagreed with . Elektra earned her redemption though , sacrificing herself to save Matt from The Hand .

Unfortunately - or fortunately , depending on your position - Elektra wo n’t be gone for long , as The Hand were demo making readiness to rise her as their ultimate weapon system , The Black Sky , near the end ofDaredevilseason 2 . When asked how Elektra ’s role will dissent inThe Defenders , actress Elodie Yung toldCinema Blendthat she ’ll almost be a"completely fresh character . “Here ’s her full quotation mark .
" It was a with child idea . I suppose they got really inspired by the comics . Elektra dies and come back in a new turnout , and she ’s changed . It was a really coolheaded and interesting matter to have Elektra again , just being a all new character . Almost , because she does n’t remember anything . And so explore sort of a new type was exciting for me . So this is where we start . And then Alexandra take over this raw Elektra and forges her the way she want her to be , if that have sense . So that ’s the start . "
At this point , little is cognise about thebackground of Alexandra(Sigourney Weaver ) , the lead scoundrel ofThe Defenders . If she ’s the one pulling Elektra ’s strings now though , distinctly she hassome connection to The Hand , or at least a story of power and influence that allows her to acquire the services of their great weapon . Of course , Stick never really stopped to explain on the button what the Black Sky would specifically do once unleashed , so it stay on to be see how Alexandra plan to use her .
On the other side though , one imago that Matt wo n’t be eager to fight Elektra , even once she ’s do back from the idle and been brainwashed by evil . His love life for Elektra was arguably the main case of the implosion of Matt ’s budding relationship with Karen , so it ’s dubious that such strong feelings will just be able to be put aside in service ofThe Defenders’overall delegation . From the sound of it though , Elektra 2.0 wo n’t harbor any exchangeable touch sensation for him , so the Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen better get used to being stab by sais .
