It looks like the Man Without Fear will get a new female partner when "Daredevil" returns to Netflix for season 2.
There are speculations that Elektra will be included in the roster of characters in the second season of "Daredevil" as two audition videos for the part leaked recently. A Marvel fan posted the audition videos on Twitter, but the clips were eventually pulled out. Before that, however, Comic Book managed to get the transcripts before they were completely removed.
In one of the scenes, Elektra and Matt Murdoch appear to be meeting each other for the first time. Based on their conversation, the Greek female ninja assassin seems to be unimpressed with the blind lawyer and even comments against his wing-tipped shoes. She also tells Matt that he's pretty, but dumb.
The next one depicts Elektra talking to a thug inside his bedroom, reminding him about their first encounter wherein she demanded that he stop all his criminal operations as he was "hurting innocent people because you're too lazy to get rich the hard way." She also mentions that her partner's mother is one of his former victims, and seems to be exacting revenge on his behalf without his knowledge.
The audition tapes featured two foreign actresses who seemed to be vying for the role. One is Australian actress Louisa Mignone, who appeared in "Wish You Were Here" by Kieran Darcy-Smith. She is also one of the cast members of the recently released sci-fi thriller "Infini."
The other auditionee is Malaysian theater actress Shiva Kalaiselvan. She still has to add TV credits to her name, but she already appeared in several theater productions in her country as well as in New York and London.
However, Netflix and Marvel have yet to confirm or deny adding Elektra in "Daredevil" season 2, and if either of the two actresses got the part.
"Daredevil" season 2 is slated to air in 2016.
