NEWS: Everyone on Daredevil will get costumes

(via comicbook.com)
Fans want to know if Elodie Yung's Elektra will sport the classic red costume seen in the comics despite not seeing it in any promotional materials, so far.
"There’s definitely a costume," Elodie Yung told reporters during a TCA press conference.
"We’ve had a tremendous number of really thoughtful conversations about how to present this character - especially based on season one, where we more successful than we’d ever hoped - in terms of the slow burn of the character being as iconic as the comic book fans hope, of which we are among the comic book fans, and when we bring that out," Doug Petrie, Daredevil's Co-Executive Producer added. "I mean, the short answer is: 'You’re gunna have to watch,' but, we were very, very aware of it and, I think, what we were thinking - first and foremost - were two questions. One was what looks cool? How much do we love the comics and can we do that? And, then also, in terms of bringing Elodie in and her martial arts training - which is so evident in what she does and who she is as a character - what would you really fight in? What would protect you? And, also Elektra isn’t just about protection. She’s a little bit of a stylist, so we threw all that into the mix."
The conversation didn't end there. Co-Executive Producer Marco Ramirez chimed into the conversation with some exciting promises. "I was just gunna say, ‘cause of what Drew [Goddard] and Steven [S. DeKnight] did so well season one - and much to Marvel and Netflix’s credit - was allow them to ground the show and make it as gritty as possible," he started. "Anything like a comic book costume, to us, a fun part of the challenge is making it organically feel part of the world or the tapestry of the world that makes it seem like season one.So, will people be wearing kick ass costumes in this show? Yes. Yes, everybody does - we promise! But, that said, we wanted to make it feel as organic and grounded as possible."
In addition to a great Daredevil costume, we'll likely get Elektra's and The Punisher's, as well. It's a great time to be alive.
Daredevil's second season premieres March 18 on Netflix.

NEWS: Elodie Yung cast as Elektra for Season Two of Daredevil

 Marvel has confirmed that actress Elodie Yung will be playing Elektra Natchios in Season Two of Daredevil.

"After a worldwide search, we found in Elodie the perfect actress to embody both Elektra's impressive and deadly physicality, as well as her psychological complexity," said Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. "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."
For those who are unfamiliar with Elodie's work you can see in the clip below a look at her role in the film 'G.I. Joe Retaliation' in which she shows off her fighting skills. I think we can all agree she's going to make a great Elektra.

NEWS: Jon Bernthal talks about playing The Punisher in Daredevil

Jon Bernthal was cast as Frank Castle/The Punisher for Season Two of Daredevil. He spoke about it in a recent interview.

"I'm extremely honored and grateful, and I know the character has a ton of fans out there. I give every single one of them my word that I'm going to give it my all," Bernthal said about the fan favorite character.
Bernthal is looking forward to being part of a TV series again. After all, it's been three years since he parted ways with "The Walking Dead." And although he's longer on the show, Bernthal says he keeps up with a lot of his pals.
"The cast and crew in Atlanta -- they're family to me. I'm still enormously close to Norman Reedus, Andrew Lincoln and Steven Yeun," said Bernthal, adding, "We had a very humble beginning. We had no idea that it was going to be what it was when we started and I treasure that and I think they still treasure that there. We had no idea if anybody was going to watch." 
Nowadays, Bernthal is enjoying sitting on other side of the television, watching "The Walking Dead" from afar.
"I think the challenge is for the guys now is to keep the integrity of the show that it started with...I think they've been very successful at doing that. It's really cool now to sit back and be a fan...That's sort of the best part of dying from that show is no more scripts no more knowing what's going to happen. Every time I talk to those guys I gotta make them promise not to tell me everything."
