Marvel’s The Defenders is teeing up the resurrection of Elodie Yung’s Elektra.

Netflix confirmed last November that Yung would reprise her Daredevil role in the team-up offshoot. The new teaser, featuring the same ornate casket that Elektra was laid down in during Daredevil‘s Season 2 finale, suggests the character will come back from the dead.

The Defenders premieres Friday, Aug. 18 on the streaming service.
