Daredevil's main squeeze gets resurrected in her own flick with this spin-off
martial arts actioner from director
Rob Bowman (
Reign of Fire,
The X-Files: Fight the Future).
Jennifer Garner returns to the role of
Elektra Natchios, a hired assassin whose origins are finally revealed after her old ninja clan the Hand brings her back from the dead to serve their evil purposes. Reunited with her old sensei,
Stick (
Terence Stamp),
Elektra leaves the past behind her and is eventually given an assignment to kill
Mark Miller (
Goran Visnjic) and his daughter,
Abby (
Kristin Prout). When her conscience gets the best of her and she decides to protect them instead, it's up to the Hand's top assassins to track her down and finish the job. Fans of
Marvel Comics might recognize
Natassia Malthe as
Typhoid Mary, another nemesis of
Daredevil that joins in the hunt, along with other masters of the dark mystic arts,
Tattoo (
Chris Ackerman),
Stone (
Bob Sapp), and the Hand's fearsome leader,
Kirigi (
Will Yun Lee).

Marvel's Martial Arts Actioner.
Jennifer Garner reprises her role of the surrected beautifully lethal ninja, who returns from the dead, and is given an option on which road to take as she protects a young prodigy and her father from a lethal cult of ninja assassins. There's plenty of martial arts action in this movie--there's never a dull moment.

A Marvel's Superheroine's Destiny.
This inrated director's cut version contains three minutes of additional footage not shown in it's original theatrical release. Based on Frank Miller's character appearing in Marvel Comics, Jennifer Garner reprises her role of the resurrected lethally beautiful gaijin, whose destiny is determined as she uses her special skills to protect a young prodigy (Kirsten Prout) and her father (Goran Visnjic) from a lethal mystical cult of ninja assassins. With Will Yun Lee, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Terence Stamp, Natassia Malthe, Colin Cunningham, Bob Sapp, Chris Ackerman, Edson T. Ribeiro, and Kurt Max Runte. Excelsior!
