10 Awesome Moments From The Defenders Trailer

3) Elektra Returns

So, what was that about Elektra? Yes, that recap of the Daredevil season 2 ending isn’t all we get of Matt Murdock’s former flame in this trailer.

Just after Alexandra is revealed for the first time in the preview, we briefly see someone who’s unmistakably Elektra taking down a ring of opponents. This looks like a practice fight, however, so we imagine that The Hand have resurrected her to act as their soldier and that this is just a glimpse at her training to fight the Defenders.

Sure enough, we soon see Elektra sparring with Matt himself. Going by her stoic expression – and the fact that she’s fighting the man she loved before she died – we imagine that Elektra’s personality didn’t make the return trip when she came back to life. She’s now completely the Black Sky, The Hand’s fabled secret weapon.

It’s also revealed that Elektra’s got a new costume here. It’s far from her scantily-clad number from the comics, but it’s a lot more red than the black and red outfit she wore in Daredevil season 2, which should please fans.
