“Baby Driver” actress Eiza Gonzalez has shot down reports that she has been cast as Elektra in Marvel Studios’ “Daredevil: Born Again” series in development at the Disney+ service.
Elodie Yung played the character in the previous Netflix iteration of the series. The rumor sprang up the other day, and though she has not been in talks, she’s still found herself on the receiving end of hate from some overzealous fans:
“No I’m not cast as Elektra in Daredevil I have already [an] ongoing series exclusivity contract to 3 Body Problem. Ur welcome. I’d appreciate if I could live free of negative ill intended messages about me playing/stealing? a role that I don’t even know about. Thank you and wishing you all the best.
Hopefully I’ll get to play a cool superhero at one point of my career and it will be tons of fun and I’d be honored to be even considered. Meanwhile, I’ll be watching Daredevil and sending that cast all the love.”
The series has received an eighteen-episode first-season order for Disney+ and it is expected to air in 2024. “Covert Affairs” creators Matt Corman and Chris Ord are set to write and executive produce the series.
