Following on from last week's Punisher-centric trailer for Daredevil's sophomore outing, we've now got part 2 of the trailer, or in other words, another full-length trailer for Season 2. Picking things up right where the first one left us, with Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock walking into his apartment to be greeted by Elodie Yung's Elektra, it puts its focus very much on the arrival of the deadly assassin in Hell's Kitchen, and the impact that's going to have on the life of our titular hero. She needs his help, but giving it is probably going to come at a cost. There's her revealing the new threat of Season 2 (no, not The Punisher), lots of fantastic looking action sequences that the show is really going to become known for, plenty of relationship drama between Matt and his closest allies, sex (showing it's learnt a thing or two from Jessica Jones), and ninjas. Because really, when you've already got one of the best shows on TV, how else do you improve things besides adding a load of ninjas into proceedings? As a trailer on its own it's really exciting, and combined with part 1 from last week it does a great job of outlining the plot of Season 2 without actually giving too much away, and makes the wait until March 18 (when it'll all be released in one go on Netflix seem that much longer. You can watch the new trailer below, and then get into a detailed analysis of all the things you need to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cn3DVV0LHY
25. Enter Elektra
Following on from the sting of the first trailer, we open things up in Matt's apartment with a shot of Elektra, clearly establishing that she is going to be the focus of this trailer, much in the same way the first was centred around fellow newcomer Frank Castle. For anyone unfamiliar with the character, Elektra Natchois is a highly-trained assassin, and also a sometime love interest of Matt Murdock. Clearly they already have a past within the universe of this show, and that relationship is going to be a big part of Season 2 (as evidenced by her line "would you believe me if I told you I missed you."). Elodie Yung is the woman charged with playing her, a relative unknown who has had roles in the likes of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and can be seen in Gods of Egypt.

A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
