According to Jeph Loeb of Marvel Television, the French-Cambodian actress and martial artist known for her roles in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and David Fincher’s “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” takes up the mantle previously held by Jennifer Garner in the 2003 film adaptation and it’s 2005 spinoff after looking far and wide for the right actress for the job.

Charlie Cox stars on the series as Matt Murdoch, the blind lawyer by day, superhero by night who seeks to save New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen.

A sometime love interest for Cox’s character, in the comics Elektra Natchios studied martial arts with Stick, who was also Murdock’s sensei, and spent time as an assassin and bounty hunter.

“Paired with Charlie as Matt Murdock, the two will bring one of the most beloved and tumultuous comic book relationships to life with all the accompanying sparks and spectacular action sequences the show is known for,” added Loeb.

Yung joins fellow newbie Jon Bernthal, who will play The Punisher.

Season two of “Daredevil” will premiere in 2016.
