DAREDEVIL Season 2 Has its Elektra; Actor Elodie Yung Confirmed by Marvel


DAREDEVIL was greenlit for Season 2 quickly after its Netflix premiere. Then actor Jon Bernthal was confirmed to be cast as the Punisher. Just yesterday word got out that Season 2 had officially begun filming. Today, actor Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) has been officially as Elektra.

From Marvel's press release:

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.”


DAREDEVIL Season 2 will premiere exclusively on Netflix in 2016.
