10 Comic Book Movies That Actually Deserve Remakes
4. Elektra
Despite the fact that the 2005 Elektra movie absolutely nailed the action sequences, it failed just about everywhere else and ended up bombing at the box-office. It was always going to be a risk as a soft sequel to the disappointing Daredevil movie, and despite Jennifer Garner’s decent performance, it was a risk which didn’t pay off.
Despite that, the character remains a great property with bags of story potential, but with the MCU so intricately planned these days, it remains to be seen if she’ll ever get a look in.
The film itself was overly serious, reminiscent of the first two Thor movies but with only Garner pulling her weight. At least Thor had Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddlestone, Anthony Hopkins and (when she could be bothered), Natalie Portman helping it along.
The future of the Charlie Cox led Daredevil show is a little up in the air after the Netflix cancellation, with it currently unknown if Disney+ will revive it. Whatever the future is, Elodie Yung’s turn as Elektwas one of the best received parts of the show; she should definitely expect a call if the character makes a comeback anytime soon
