The Defenders: 8 Major New Reveals From Marvel And Netflix

6. Elektra Is Getting A Costume...

While the first glimpse of Elektra featured the assassin disguising her face with a familiar red bandana, we still don't know what exactly she'll look like in the series. Now, it obviously makes sense the she would use that to disguise her identity, but will Matt Murdock's college girlfriend have her classic comic book costume to go with it? Based on comments from the showrunners, it sounds like the answer lies somewhere in between. "We love the comics - we're fans - but, we wanted Elektra's costume to be reasonable for a martial artist and she's also a little bit of a stylist. There's definitely a costume, but it needs to happen organically like we saw on Daredevil." That makes a lot of sense, and it definitely appears as if we'll be getting a costume which offers up a more realistic and contemporary take on the skimpy (and arguably silly) design from the comics. Actress Elodie Yung meanwhile added that she, "wanted to keep the coldness . We think Elektra is kind of a sociopath. This world is a game for her, like a chess game. What motivates her is what she wants. She'll use anything € to get to her goal. On the other hand, we wanted to create a character with different layers. I think Elektra is not a bad person. She's not a good person. She's a person with different traits." However she ends up looking, it definitely sounds as if everyone involved with this portrayal of Elektra knows exactly what they're doing when it comes to ensuring the character is handled better than the last version!
