Earlier this week, two audition tapes surfaced on Vimeo which featured two relative unknowns (Louisa Mignone and Shiva Kalaiselvan) reading for parts in season two of Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil.

Those were quickly deleted, but it’s apparent which role they were trying out for; Elektra. The first scene featured the character interrogating a thug, while the other featured her first meeting with Matt Murdock in college (that was referenced in the first season when Foggy mentioned a Greek Girl who Matt dated).

It’s been rumoured for quite some time that Elektra – played by Jennifer Garner in the 2003 Daredevil movie and a subsequent spinoff – would show up in season two, and these videos as good as confirmed that.

For those of you unfamiliar with her, Elektra and Matt met and dated in college before her father died. She then left New York City and ended up becoming embroiled with The Hand, a ninja group of assassins who were hinted at in season one of Daredevil. Will Bullseye also show up? That remains to be seen!

The fact that both of the actresses had martial arts and dance experience, not to mention a notably exotic look, gives the impression that Marvel most definitely won’t be whitewashing their version of Elektra too.
