Marvel and Netflix have cast Elodie Yung as Elektra for Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil.
The actress’s prior movie credits include G.I. Joe: Retaliation and District 13: Ultimatum. Marvel released the following statement about the casting choice:
“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,” Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb, told Marvel.com. “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.”
The last actress to play Elektra was Jennifer Garner in Daredevil and Elektra – as I’m sure you all remember.
Yung joins Daredevil’s growing cast which recently added Jon Bernthal as The Punisher.
Daredevil Season Two will premiere in 2016 on Netflix.
