Marvel:
This is what they said:
“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 Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb in a statement. “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.”
Elodie is perfect for the role.
Elektra was both Matt Murdock's lover and enemy.
And also, a much better choice compared to Jennifer Garner.
But will she make a good Elektra, we wonder?
All signs point to yes.
