Charlie Cox’s Daredevil Might Team Up With Florence Pugh’s Yelena In The MCU
Florence Pugh was last seen in the MCU as Yelena Belova in Black Widow. Playing the sister of Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff, Pugh became an instant favorite among fans, as she also made an appearance in Hawkeye.

The actress will be next seen in the film Thunderbolts*, which sees her team up with David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker, and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes. The film reportedly sees the anti-hero group team up on a mission for the US Government, but things go wrong.
A recent report indicated that Florence Pugh’s Yelena might be teaming up with Charlie Cox’s Daredevil in the future. Insiders at The Cosmic Circus mentioned that Marvel was looking at many avenues for Daredevil to show up in the MCU and a potential team-up with Florence Pugh’s Black Widow was an option.
Marvel intends to use Daredevil as a gateway to new stories for street superheroes. In terms of interactions, we can expect, of course, the long-awaited team-up between Spider-Man and Daredevil. I’ve also heard of some ideas down the road for Daredevil to encounter other heroes, particularly Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight and Florence Pugh’s Black Widow. However, those are still just ideas down the road for different projects.
In the comics, Daredevil and Black Widow shared multiple adventures together and even shared a brief romance. While the comics saw Matt Murdock teaming up with Natasha Romanoff, the MCU might see him get together with Yelena.

I’ll tell you, some of the most brutal action we’ve ever brought to the screen is coming in Daredevil: Born Again, which isn’t a horror show, but really it packs a lot of power and there’s a lot of visceral action, to say the least.
Many previews, including one at the D23 Expo, reportedly teased some of the action that would be seen in the series.
