Daredevil Season 3: 8 Major Plot Predictions

1. Elektra Returns (And Sets Up The Show's Fourth Season)

Though Daredevil's second season was considered something of a mixed bag for those who weren't overly fond of The Hand sub-plot, for fans of Elodie Yung's Elektra Natchios, it proved to be a worthy follow up to the show's stellar debut series.

The character's eventual resurrection in The Defenders wasn't, however, executed well. Borrowing elements from Daredevil's forgotten years during the nineties, the one-time assassin returned as a mind-controlled agent of The Hand, devolving much of the ensemble series' narrative into a fairly clichéd and forgettable brainwash story that could've probably found a home on children's TV.

That doesn't mean a return should be ruled out though, and with the character having suffered the same ambiguous fate Murdock did in the series finale, the door is still open for the resurectee to return once more.

Of course, Netflix have the chance to close the door on Daredevil once and for all, but in continuing the character's journey for at least another few years, Elektra is of key importance.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
