Elektra (2005)

After the calamity that was the 2003 Daredevil movie, Fox somehow found a valid reason to produce a spin-off based on the Daredevil supporting character Elektra just two years later.

Starring Jennifer Garner in the titular role – a role she reprised after dying in the aforementioned Daredevil offering – Elektra saw the heroine brought back to life by martial arts guru Stick and embarking on a life as an assassin.

Unsurprisingly, it flopped – making a tiny $13.7 million profit and finding itself being critically demolished from all angles – and it’s hard to fathom what else the people behind the movie could possibly have expected.

Of course, this movie resulted in no more spin-offs in the franchise being produced and saw Jennifer Garner’s reputation tarnished quite badly.
