“No, I'm not a student of Snake Eyes, but we trained in the same dojo.” — Elodie Yung

I learned about the psychology behind Elektra and that excited me. And then I read the 'Daredevil' comics, especially when they met because I wanted to get an understanding of the relationship between Elektra and Matthew.

I got 'Elektra: Assassin,' and that's where I learned that she was a tortured soul. She's been through a lot and was possibly psychologically unstable.

That's the Elektra I tried to portray: one that's always in the grey. She is a tortured soul.

I didn't want to make a caricature version of Elektra.
