MattLektra is the most popular ship for Elektra and the fourth mosst popular ship for Matt. The ship is popularly shipped alongside Kastle and is the rival ship of KareDevil. On AO3, Matt and Elektra are fourth place in the most written ships in the Daredevil (TV) tag, and third place in The Defenders (Marvel TV) tag. Had Elektra lived in the Defenders, fans believed her and Matthew would have found a way to be together. The two talked about elopement together in the second season of Daredevil right before Elektra had been killed by Nobu.

Fans also think that Elektra was Matt's true love and soulmate. Even when Matt was with Karen he only thought about Elektra, and stayed with her.

There are some controversies surrounding the ship due to Matt and Elektra's first meeting at college. Elektra was sent by Stick to manipulate Matthew into joining them to win the war against The Hand. Many fans dislike that their relationship started off with Elektra fake-dating Matt, but MattLektra fans argued that Elektra had truly fallen in love with Matt later on. MattLektra fans also argue that despite Elektra wanting to see the darkness inside Matt, she admired his light. In Daredevil Season 2, Matthew offers that the two should run away and live a better life together. And Elektra, despite being trained to kill her entire life, had agreed.
