AceShowbiz - It looks like that Elektra is coming to Netflix's "Daredevil" in its upcoming second season. Rumor has it, casting for the part is currently underway as some audition tapes showing two women reading for the same part, which is believed to be Elektra Natchios, recently hit the web.
The said two women are relatively unknown Shiva Kalaiselvan and Louisa Mignone, whose acting credit includes "Wish You Were Here". Both women reportedly acted out the same two scenes, one with a criminal victim, and the second with Matt Murdock during their college years. The videos, however, have been removed.
"Daredevil" was renewed for a second season back in April, following the series premiere earlier the same month. Showrunner Steven S. DeKnight is not returning for the sophomore installment and will be replaced by writers Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez.
Besides Charlie Cox who will reprise his role as Matt Murdock a.k.a. the titular hero, Rosario Dawson is confirmed to return as Claire Temple.
