Yung will play Elektra, a mysterious woman from Matt Murdocks past whose dangerous and exotic ways may be more than he can handle. The first season of Marvels Daredevil made reference to Elektra, but now Yung will portray one of Daredevils 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 Marvels Daredevil.
After a worldwide search, we found in Elodie the perfect actress to embody both Elektras 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.
Marvels Daredevil is Executive Produced by Doug Petrie (American Horror Story, Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Marco Ramirez (Marvels Daredevil, DaVincis Demons) and Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods, Lost), along with Marvel TVs Jeph Loeb (Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvels Jessica Jones.)
Marvels Daredevil is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios. Season one of Marvels Daredevil is now streaming on Netflix.

I did consider Elektra as Greek, but this lady should be more than able to pull it off.
