Exactly two months from today,Marvel’s Daredevilwill return, withSeason 2of the hit series streaming in its entirety onNetflixstarting Friday, March 18. This season will introduce two very important characters,Jon Bernthalas Frank Castle, a.k.a. Punisher, andElodie Yungas Elektra Nachios. It has previously been confirmed that Elektra will be Matt Murdock’s (Charlie Cox) new love interest this season, but executive producerJeph Loebshed some new light on this burgeoning relationship in an interview with Comic Book Movie.
“I think one of the things that’s dynamic aboutElodie’s performance is that you never quite know ifElektra’s telling you the truth. Matt, who has this sort of ability to be a human lie detector, because he’s emotionally attached to her, it skews his ability to be able to know whether or not she’s telling the truth or he’s being manipulated, or is she actually not manipulating him? That kind of interaction, and I think the natural emotion that was going on between Charlie andElodiethat we captured on film, added a great deal of spark to it. Particularly, given that Karen Page is an equally strong and independent woman who has her own story that’s going on throughout the series. As you will watch it unfold, you get very caught up in the push and pull of Matt Murdock’s life.”
What isn’t known quite yet is if thestreaming servicewill plan on spinning off Elektra into her own show. Netflix announced over the weekend that they are developing aPunisherspinoff series forJon Bernthal, but since Elektra is so closely attached to Matt Murdock, it’s possible that she will be kept on the main series. That may all depend on how fans react to this character when the new season kicks off in mid-March.
