“Matt’s a deeply moral complicated guy and she’s just the best bad girlfriend you can possibly have. She does everything wrong and attractive, she’s his id, the wild side. Matt is always taming his wild side. Elektra just lets it out. He’s both repulsed and deeply drawn to that.”
Back in November, a briefteaserfor this upcoming season debuted, hinting that Luke Cage (Mike Colter) may surface this season before starring inMarvel’s Luke Cage, slated to debut sometime this year. The sneak peek showed Matt Murdock’s local bar, Josie’s, has changed to Luke’s, suggesting that Luke Cage may be taking over the Hell’s Kitchen bar. Throughout the first season, Matt and his law partner Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) would frequent Josie’s, along with Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll).

It’s possible that her character could be responsible for bringing all ofThe Defenderstogether, but that’s only speculation at this point.
