Daredevil - Season 2 - Elodie Yung Cast as Elektra

Elodie Yung Cast as Elektra in the Netflix Original Series 'Marvel’s Daredevil'

Elodie Yung (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “District 13: Ultimatum”) joins the next season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” streaming only on Netflix in 2016!

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.”


Season 2 of Daredevil will hit Netflix in 2016.

    Beautiful! What do they mean by tumultuous? Are they doomed?

    Never heard of her, but this is going to be amazing anyway.

    Pretty much. All of Matt's comic relationships are doomed (so far the notable exception is Queen Kirsten McDuffie). Matt and Elektra... That's one fucked up and borderline unhealthy relationship. VERY doomed.

    WHOA! Elektra is coming! Oh man, Matt and Foggy will be SHOCKED when they cross paths with her again. I actually hope she'll be teaming up with Frank Castle.

    I think S2 is going to far surpass S1 and I liked S1.

    I don't know about her acting skills but she absolutely looks the part!

    Bullseye, Punisher AND Elektra plus most of the S1 cast returning... I hope they aren't biting off more than they can chew. That being said, I'm excited to have Elektra in the MCU and hope they do her justice after that utter drivel of a movie from 10 years ago. (Jennifer Garner is awesome and thoroughly proved her action chops on Alias, but that was straight up bad... brutally bad.) Not familiar with the actress cast so I can't comment on that.

    I haven't seen her in anything, but she looks pretty good, I like her so far. I hope she will deliver.

    Daredevil is shooting so early I think since it coming out in 2016......I guess it requires more work? Plus casting news when we could have gotten them later on

    Damn, poor guy, who's Queen Kirsten McDuffie?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Katia S.8 July 2015 at 00:09

    Kirsten McDuffie is a kickass attorney and the woman without fear. Also happens to be Matt's current girlfriend, but that's just a side job. Kirsten is a star and the queen of everything. Kirsten McDuffie for MCU 2k15. Imo the best of all of Matt's canon romantic interests. Kirsten is BADASS.

    And after everything with everyone Foggy and Matt seems like the most "healthy" relationship they both had. lol.

    I like her. I wish for more flashbacks. Season two it's gonna be good

    I thought I remember that Elektra was supposed to be Greek and thought that they hinted on the show during a conversation between Matt/Foggy about a "Greek girl" that Matt had a relationship with during college... but of course that may not have been said Elektra.... but really looking forward to seeing how she will be introduced to this excellent show

    So, are we going to see Matt naked (and not because they kick the hell out of him?)


    Lovely news!


    I ship him and Foggy in fanon (and I adore their friendship in canon) so I'm not jealous :-P

  23. Katia S.8 July 2015 at 07:07

    She is! She's absolutely amazing. She's not a vigilante, she's a lawyer, but man, her attitude! She's not going to be just 'Daredevil's girlfriend', she wants to be the STAR of the story. And one time she gets kidnapped by a bad guy and Matt freaks out? She saves herself, defeats the bad guy, and it turns out the bad guy didn't even know about Daredevil, he was after Kirsten JUST BECAUSE SHE IS KIRSTEN MCDUFFIE. She gets so excited to have got her first nemesis that Matt pretty much face-palms.

    Im guessing she is also a Lawyer and more than likely represents someone on the opposite side to Matt and Foggy

  27. Matthew8 July 2015 at 09:16

    I think there IS definetly too much to chew there. One of those should go. Id actually get rid of Bulllseye from the mix. Having the Punisher is a lot, having Punisher and Elektra is just icing.

    They are obviously going to bring back the Hand storyline and Stick will make a comeback

  28. Katia S.8 July 2015 at 09:18

    She can still be Greek in-canon. She's the daughter of a Greek diplomat in NYC, she might be of a mixed background easily. *shrug*

  29. Katia S.8 July 2015 at 09:19

    We're not sure if Bullseye is coming. I can see them limiting themselves to Frank and Elektra, that really is enough baddie power. If they team up against Daredevil... I can dream.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Katia S.8 July 2015 at 09:20

    She is a lot less concerned with morality than Matt is, which also makes her unpredictable. She's been Frank's teammate on Thunderbolts, there's that too.

  31. Katia S.8 July 2015 at 09:21

    I wonder about that. She didn't graduate in the comics, did she? I wonder if they'll keep that in. After all, Foggy DID wonder what happened to that Greek girl. So perhaps it's a hint that she left Columbia.

    I don't anything about this Elecktra character from the comics.Can you tell me why Matt and her relationship is fucked up and borderline unhealthy relationship?I'm dying to know.

  34. Alex Forrest8 July 2015 at 10:01

    Plus, isn't Fisk returning? He has yet to fully become the Kingpin, which is why (according to the showrunners) they didn't refer to him as such in S1. That's a LOT on Matt's plate.

  35. Alex Forrest8 July 2015 at 10:02

    She is actually an assassin-for-hire initially...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Alex Forrest8 July 2015 at 10:05

    Well for starters, Elektra started out as an assassin-for-hire. Given that Matt draws the line at killing, period, even of criminals, that's a pretty big obstacle.

  37. Leo Wyatt8 July 2015 at 10:22

    She sort of looks like a Greek-Asian so I don't think that will be a problem

    I haven't caught up with all the black widow comics, but his relationship with natasha romanoff wasn't that bad was it? If I recall? I know they remained friends from what I can remember. (I'd love to see Charlie Cox and Scarlett Johansson do a scene together, it'll never happen probably, but it would be so awesome!)

  39. Joy Haldar8 July 2015 at 11:18

    So how did Matt get involved with her romantically? Seems odd,doesn't it?

    She has a great fighting scene in GI Joe: Retaliation too.

    Thanks, I have not seen that movie. Good fight scene!

    Substitute sai in place of the wakizashi and I can already see Elektra!

    Its possible. It all comes down to how closely the show mirrors the comics . I hope it actually dosnt.

    She might of left University or transferred BECAUSE of the breakup with Matt (although I doubt it). Maybe it was her chance to be 'normal'

    Wow so is Matt the ONLY Hell's Kitchen vigilante to actually have a conscience?

    Initially, so does she change?
