One of the many highlights of the first season of Marvel's
Daredevil on Netflix was when Matt Murdock dropped his vigilante outfit and put
on his iconic red costume, effectively becoming a more visually recognizable superhero.
With the second season quickly approaching, fans have been
wondering if characters such as Elektra (Elodie Yung) or Punisher (Jon Bernthal)
will receive the same treatment, and get costumes.
"There’s definitely a costume,"
Elodie Yung told reporters during Daredevil's Television Critics Association
Winter Press Tour.
"We’ve had a tremendous number of really
thoughtful conversations about how to present this character - especially based
on season one, where we more successful than we’d ever hoped - in terms of the
slow burn of the character being as iconic as the comic book fans hope, of
which we are among the comic book fans, and when we bring that out," said Daredevil's co-executive producer Doug Petrie. "I
mean, the short answer is: 'You’re gunna have to watch,' but, we were very,
very aware of it and, I think, what we were thinking - first and foremost -
were two questions. One was what looks cool? How much do we love the comics and
can we do that? And, then also, in terms of bringing Elodie in and her martial
arts training - which is so evident in what she does and who she is as a
character - what would you really fight in? What would protect you? And, also
Elektra isn’t just about protection. She’s a little bit of a stylist, so we
threw all that into the mix."
"I was just gunna say," added co-executive producer
Marco Ramirez "‘cause of what Drew [Goddard] and Steven [S. DeKnight] did
so well season one - and much to Marvel and Netflix’s credit - was allow them
to ground the show and make it as gritty as possible. Anything like a comic book costume, to us, a fun part of the challenge is
making it organically feel part of the world or the tapestry of the world that
makes it seem like season one.So, will people be wearing kick ass costumes in
this show? Yes. Yes, everybody does - we promise! But, that said, we wanted to
make it feel as organic and grounded as possible."
The second season of Daredevil premieres March 18.
