Elodie Yung has been cast as Elektra in the second season of “Marvel’s Daredevil,” Variety has confirmed.

The character is a favorite of fans of the Marvel comicbooks that serve as the basis for the popular Netflix series, which stars Charlie Cox as justice-seeking lawyer/vigilante Matt Murdock. Although she was hinted at in season one, Elektra has yet to appear in the series. The casting description simply describes her as “a mysterious woman from Matt Murdock’s past whose dangerous and exotic ways may be more than he can handle.” (Jennifer Garner portrayed Elektra in the 2003 “Daredevil” movie and in the 2005 spinoff).

 

[Face it Tiger..]

That's who should've played Psylocke.

she doesn't look greek at all btw.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

I vaguely remember her from G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Hey, she went to the acting school down the road from me.

Also... Elektra gonna be half Greek?

 

[Busty]

Wasn't she in that 'cobbled together with masking tape and yet still somehow better than the original' GI Joe sequel?

She seems a good choice.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Cool. Lookin forward to it.

 

[Tathanen]

"She was dressed kinda like Elektra in GI Joe, good enough!"

 

[odiin]

I know who this is.

...I have no idea who this is. Good luck, whoever this is.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Now cast Bullseye and I am happy.

 

[Currygan]

I guess casting a true Greek was too much?

I kind of like her anyway, seems like good casting

 

[Ultima_5]

mkay. sounds good

 

[Nokagi]

Man this second season is looking to be really awesome.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Fucking A

 

[BobLoblaw]

Now cast Bullseye and I am happy.

We already got Punisher and Elektra. Save him for season 3. My heart can't take more awesome.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Season 2's going to be packed.

 

[Slayven]

I was going to post a scene, but I don't want o get chewed out by Bobbyroberts

Bullseye needs to rip your heart apart when he kills Elektra in the last Episode of S02

 

[Discotheque]

They might change her ethnicity for the series, seems aiight. Don't know her but she looks like she might be cool

Most excited for bernthal in the second season right now

Lol what

I'm pretty sure they mentioned she was Greek in season 1.

Do it anyways.

Be a man. A superior man.

I didn't know she was in G.I. Joe, but I did remember her as being one of the three screen testers/finalists (with Gadot and Olga Kurylenko) for the Wonder Woman role in BvS.

 

[guek]

She's French?

As an ignorant layman, I'd believe she was of Mediterranean descent.

She'll just be biracial on the show. Easy change. She looks more like Elektra than Garner ever did.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Bullseye needs to rip your heart apart when he kills Elektra in the last Episode of S02

But we only just met (in season 2)... Fine. Kill her and let's get a Punisher/DD team up for season 3 to hunt that sumbitch down.

 

[ninjabat]

Only seen her in gi joe not impressed by her. Disappointing casting.

 

[odiin]

Don't risk it. Dude is everywhere.

JACKPOT! EXECS ASSEMBLE!

Can't take Bullseye serious anymore after he literally got bitch slapped.

 

[The Faceless Master]

they cast an Asian-looking actress as someone white?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

[Fury451]

Greek.

Elektra just needs to be "exotic" looking, and vaguely Greek, which this actress is.

Should be interesting, I like the choice.

 

[Currygan]

they cast an Asian-looking actress as someone white?

it's like when they cast Koreans as Japanese or Chinese. who cares, they all that kinda face (says the producer)

 

[Slayven]

But real talk Echo is the best Daredevil girl.

 

[Liquidsnake]

"She was dressed kinda like Elektra in GI Joe, good enough!"

Im down.

 

[Slayven]

.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Call me when Moon Knight is dropping by

 

[tomtom94]

*insert joke about all the Greek actresses being too poor to attend the audition here*

Real talk, I trust the producers on this show after season 1 surpassed all expectations, so this seems fine

 

[Future Foundation]

Don't risk it. Dude is everywhere.

KNEW IT.

 

[richiek]

they cast an Asian-looking actress as someone white?

Revenge for Emma Stone.

 

[Slayven]

Revenge for Emma Stone.

Marvel Casts Emma Stone as Amadeus Cho in Black Panther

 

[Frog-fu]

Eh, she doesn't look Greek to me, but I have in this working out.

I'm praying Daredevil doesn't go the way of House of Cards.

 

[otapnam]

Shes french cambodian so she has some european ancestry. Its not like they got some blonde blue eyed girl to play her

 

[rexor0717]

Cool, glad to see this season is getting started on production so quickly. Mavel TV has been pretty damn good this past year.

 

[Unmasked Ferret]

I'm OK with this.

Eh, she doesn't look Greek to me, but I have in this working out.

I'm praying Daredevil doesn't go the way of House of Cards.

Matt "Is that a Playstation Vita?"
Other character "Yeah, how did you know?"
Matt "I can feel the rear touchpad. Even a blind man like me can play games on this!"
Foggy "And it's perfect for our on the go, busy lawyer lifestyle!".

 

[Bobby Roberts]

.

You know what Slay?

You've earned it.

(plus I think it's absolutely in the cards we're going to see this in live-action, now.)

 

[Mix Master]

now get Matt Bomer for Bullseye

 

[illmatic22]

Kinda wish they got a Greek actress but w/e I'm down with this. Punisher and Elektra got me hype for Season 2.

Always good to have you Bobby.

 

[Zaverious]

But real talk Echo is the best Daredevil girl.

Too bad she's dead, I enjoyed her character.

 

[Nesotenso]

Don't know her body of work. She doesn't look Greek so maybe they are changing Elektra's origins.

 

[Dalek]

Great googily moogily this season is going to be awesome.
