Jennifer Garner as Elektra

In the comics, Elektra was an iconic character who could be a villain or a hero with unparalleled ease. Her origin story, and her connections to the Hand and the Chaste, indicated that she had a hot temper, and that made her even more unpredictable.

But someone believed that it was a great decision to cast girl next door Jennifer Garner in Ben Affleck's Daredevil and the Elektra spin-offs. It wasn't. Garner had proved that she could pull off a role in the Alias series, but she was too mellow and too nice to play Elektra.

Of course, both movies’ writing and direction left much to be desired. But it seemed as though Jennifer Garner should have known that she couldn't rely on her looks alone to successfully portray a feared and skilled assassin.

Although she was a weaker link, Elodie Yung's portrayal of the character in Daredevil Season 2 was light years better.
