Elektra’s New ‘Daredevil, Born Again’ Costume Revealed in Latest Set Video

Marvel’s Netflix reunion in ‘Daredevil, Born Again’ is intensifying with each new set video emerging from New York City. What started as whispers about familiar faces returning to Hell’s Kitchen has evolved into one of the most closely monitored productions of the year, with fans analyzing every grainy clip for hints about the direction of Season 3.

Filming has been ongoing for months in various locations throughout the city, including a recent shoot in Dumbo, Brooklyn, where Elodie Yung was first seen back in costume as Elektra Natchios. This initial sighting confirmed months of speculation, partly fueled by cryptic workout videos Yung had shared earlier this year, suggesting she was gearing up for something physical.

A newly released video has provided fans with their clearest glimpse yet at both Elektra and her revamped costume, showcasing her alongside Charlie Cox’s Daredevil on set for the first time. The footage offers a much sharper view of the suit’s details compared to earlier clips, which primarily captured Yung obscured beneath a hooded jacket between takes.

The costume has become a focal point of fan discussions since it first leaked. The complete look features a sleeveless leather vest with red accents, black leather pants, combat boots, and red forearm wraps with fingerless gloves, topped off with the character’s iconic red headband worn openly around her head rather than covering her face as it did in her previous Netflix appearances.

This redesign appears to be more comic-accurate than anything Yung wore during her initial portrayal of the character. Many fans have noted its resemblance to outfits Elektra has donned in specific comic storylines where she assumed the Daredevil mantle herself. This detail has sparked a growing theory that Elektra may step into Matt’s role while he remains incarcerated following his Season 2 arrest.

Matt Murdock’s costume has also undergone a transformation this season, swapping the jet black suit with red accents he wore in Season 2 for a new design featuring predominantly red sleeves, red underpiping, and a bright red Daredevil symbol across the chest. Each season has provided Matt with a visually distinct suit that reflects his emotional journey, and this latest change seems to indicate he is moving closer to fully embracing the mantle in a more classic form.

Adding another layer to the intrigue, insider reports suggest that Season 3 will feature a direct confrontation between Elektra and Bullseye, with a stunt performer linked to Wilson Bethel’s character already spotted near Yung during filming. If this is accurate, it would mark the first time these two characters have shared a scene together in the MCU.

Elektra’s return continues a trend that has characterized this season’s marketing, with Marvel bringing nearly the entire Defenders roster back into the fold. Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, Mike Colter’s Luke Cage, and Finn Jones’ Danny Rand have all been confirmed to return, giving Season 3 what appears to be the most complete gathering of Netflix-era heroes since the original crossover series concluded.

This buildup carries significant narrative weight given where the story left off. Matt spent much of Season 2 battling to dismantle Wilson Fisk’s corrupt grip on the city, only to end the season disbarred and imprisoned after publicly revealing his secret identity to protect those closest to him, leaving Hell’s Kitchen without its guardian as the story progresses.

With Season 3 currently aiming for a 2027 premiere and filming expected to conclude later this summer, fans have a lengthy wait ahead before any of these theories are confirmed. For now, every new set video seems to elevate the stakes on how monumental this reunion is shaping up to be.
