Marvel and Netflix have cast Elodie Yung as Elektra Natchios for Daredevil Season Two. Yung’s prior credits include G.I. Joe: Retaliation and District 13: Ultimatum. Marvel described Yung’s Elektra as a “mysterious woman from Matt Murdock’s past whose dangerous and exotic ways may be more than he can handle.” Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb, told Marvel.com, “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.” Elektra joins Daredevil’s expanding cast of Marvel Universe characters, which recently added Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. Daredevil Season Two will premiere in 2016 on Netflix.
