The actress created the stronger version of the famous anti-hero.
Deadpool 3 shocked comic book and film fans with the news that Jennifer Garner would be reprising her role as Elektra Natchios, which she previously played in Daredevil and Elektra, in the upcoming film. While the film had previously made headlines for bringing back Hugh Jackman in his iconic Marvel role of Logan/Wolverine the news about Garner was more surprising given the negative receptions her previous films received and her character’s involvement in their most famously mocked scenes.
Flashbacks in Elektra reveal that she was resurrected by Stick , who later began instructing her in the mystical martial art Kimagure. Like in the comic he eventually casts Elektra out. The film’s present-day storyline is where it began to veer wildly away from the source material.
In the miniseries The Defenders, Elektra is resurrected by another Hand leader, Alexandra who is a fanatic believer in the legends of the Black Sky. She comes back with no memory and superhuman abilities and is manipulated into serving as the Hand’s chief assassin. But encountering Matt seems to jog her memory and Elektra eventually kills Alexandra, taking control of the Hand for herself.
Yung’s Elektra had a sadistic streak and was happy to use lethal force against her enemies, much to Matt’s dismay and this recreated the ideological tension between the characters that made their original comic interactions so famously compelling and tragic. By not having Elektra’s time as a mercenary start until after her death the film version excluded this crucial part of the characters’ dynamic.
