DAREDEVIL's Elodie Yung Has No Interest In A Solo 'Elektra' Series, But Wants In On THE DEFENDERS
Despite making quite an impact on season 2 of Marvel's Daredevil, Elodie Yung seems more interested in taking on The Defenders than starring in a solo Elektra Netflix series. More past the jump...
SPOILERS for the season 2 finale of Daredevil follow. Elodie Yung's take on Elektra was by far one of the highlights of Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil season 2, but in the final episode she met her maker on the point of her own sai, just as she did in the comics.
Of course the very last shot makes it pretty clear that she will be resurrected by The Hand - but what's next for the character when that happens?
While speaking to IGN, Yung didn't seem particularly interested in a solo Elektra adventure, but does have designs on appearing as a villain on The Defenders, which would unite the Man Without Fear, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.
“I love Elektra. I really have a special place in my heart for her. It was very enjoyable for me to discover her and to adapt her for this project and bring myself to this character. So I have a special spot for her. Having my own show -- it’s not something that I think of, it’s not. I think I would choose to do things because they are interesting, because I like a character or because it’s very well written. Or because it makes sense. So that’s my answer.
I would love to appear in 'The Defenders. I don’t know -- because hopefully she’ll maybe be on the bad side. I don’t know -- I don’t know what they’d do with Elektra in 'The Defenders' but that would be a good dynamic I think -- to be confronted by these four superheroes and I think it would be interesting. I’d be curious to see what they do.”
Obviously The Defenders is a long way off, so there's always the chance Elektra will reemerge before that. What do you guys think? Would you like a solo outing, or are you happy to wait for the continuation of Daredevil's story before seeing her again?
