16 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters To Look Out For In 2016

6. Elektra

Who's Playing Her? Elodie Yung. Who's Elodie Yung? A French actress who has appeared in films like David Fincher's take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, in which she played Jinx. She'll also be starring in Alex Proyas' upcoming Gods of Egypt alongside actors like Gerard Butler, Geoffrey Rush, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and the MCU's own Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman. What's She Appearing In? The second season of Daredevil. Why You Should Be Excited: It's been over a decade since the character got her own solo film - following her big screen debut in 2003's Ben Affleck-led Daredevil film - and the sour taste left over from the final product is still in many fans' mouths. With the first season of Daredevil proving that it can treat both its subject matter and action sequences with hard-hitting maturity, the arrival of the assassin is something to look forward to. As a long-overdue palate cleanser for the Jennifer Garner version of the character, the MCU's version will undoubtedly do her justice while complicating Matt's double life even further.
