Daredevil Season 2 Trailer Part 2 Puts Elektra Front and Center

We already had one trailer out for Daredevil, a trailer that focused on the Punisher. Now Netflix has release “Part 2” of their Daredevil season 2 trailer — a trailer that focuses squarely on femme fatale Elektra.

Elektra’s relationship with Daredevil is often contradictory. Sometimes they are lovers, sometimes antagonists. She’s a deadly assassin, and he is a man who has sworn to protect all life. Frank Miller mined this rich and complex relationship for years in his legendary run on the comic book version of Daredevil.

In the trailer, Elektra is asking for Matt’s help and offering him information and help in return – but don’t be surprised if she has another hidden agenda that will eventually bring her into direct conflict with her on-again, off-again lover.

From the video description:

Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios.

Daredevil season 2 hits Netflix on March 18th.

New Daredevil Teaser Shows Elektra in Action

Netflix keeps revealing little snippets here and there of the upcoming Daredevil season 2 to keep our interest piqued. It’s a strategy that worked spectacularly well for Jessica Jones, and it is succeeding here as well. We’ve already met Frank Castle, a.k.a. “The Punisher.” Now we get our first glimpse of assassin and love interest Elektra Natchios, played by Elodie Yung, in action.

Daredevil Season 2 Teaser Trailer Gives Us First Glimpse of Elektra, Punisher

Netflix released the teaser trailer for Daredevil Season 2 that they had previously only shown at New York Comic Con. It’s only 30 seconds long, but it gives us our first tantalizing glimpses of Frenc actress Élodie Yung  as Elektra  and The Walking Dead‘s Jon Bernthal as The Punisher.

The two assassins will join the returning Charlie Cox’s Daredevil to clean up Hell’s Kitchen — or destroy it.
