A deadly reunion is coming to Marvel’s Daredevil for Season Two of the hit Netflix series.
The image on Twitter sent fans in a fury:
“An old friend is coming to Hell’s Kitchen” with the unmistakable weapon of choice nailing the headline to a wall.
Elektra is coming!
Producers found their actress to bring the fan-favorite assassin/anti-hero to life in the new series.
Marvel announced Elodie Yung (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “District 13: Ultimatum”) will join the next season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” streaming only on Netflix in 2016!
From today’s official announcement:
Yung will play Elektra, a mysterious woman from Matt Murdock’s past whose dangerous and exotic ways may be more than he can handle. The first season of “Marvel’s Daredevil” made reference to Elektra, but now Yung will portray one of Daredevil’s fan-favorite characters. Elektra marks the most recent major addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as she will join Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle in the upcoming season of the Netflix Original Series “Marvel’s Daredevil.”
“After a worldwide search, we found in Elodie the perfect actress to embody both Elektra’s impressive and deadly physicality, as well as her psychological complexity,” said Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “Paired with Charlie as Matt Murdock, the two will bring one of the most beloved and tumultuous comic book relationships to life with all the accompanying sparks and spectacular action sequences the show is known for.”
In the comics Elektra Natchios fell in love with Matt Murdock while in college. The horrific death of her parents send Elektra on a quest for revenge leading to her becoming a ruthless assassin for The Hand and eventually the Kingpin.
Jennifer Garner played the assassin turned anti-heroine in two previous films.
