Marvel has announced today that Elodie Yung (
G.I. Joe: Retaliation,
District 13: Ultimatum) has joined the cast of
Daredevil. 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
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.
"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 in a statement today.
"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."
Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the Super Hero Daredevil in modern day Hell's Kitchen, New York City.
Daredevil also stars Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Jon Bernthal, and Rosario Dawson. How do you guys feel about this latest casting addition?
Hopefully that's a flashback
and Owen from Boardwalk is the main character.
