Marvel
has announced that French actress Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) will be
joining the second season of Daredevil as the deadly Elektra, who is described
as a "mysterious woman from Matt Murdock's past whose dangerous and exotic
ways may be more than he can handle."
Former
showrunner Steven S. DeKnight gave us a little Easter Egg regarding the character
in the brilliant first season of the Netflix series, when Foggy (Elden Henson)
brings up in conversation Matt's (Charlie Cox) "smoking hot" Greek
girlfriend from colleges, so the addition of Elektra doesn't come as a total
surprise.
"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."
Elektra
is the second major piece of casting for Daredevil since The Punisher (Jon
Bernthal) a few weeks ago, and I'm still have my fingers cross for a third one…Bullseye.
Current
showrunners Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez have started filming the second
season of Daredevil this week for a 2016 launch.
