Elektra will live! Twentieth Century Fox announced today, that in addition to a
Daredevil sequel, they are moving forward with a new event film based on the Elektra character.
The new Elektra story will be set after the events depicted in 'Daredevil'. Jennifer Garner will reprise the role she brought to life in that film, and script development will begin immediately.
Elektra first appeared in 'Daredevil' comics in 1980 with words and art by comics legend Frank Miller. The character is the daughter of powerful and rich Greek business tycoon Nikolas Natchios and the girlfriend of Matt Murdock / Daredevil. Although she possesses no superhuman abilities, Elektra is a consummate practitioner of the martial arts, and wields a pair of three-pronged daggers, or sai.
