Trivia: An "Elektra" movie was almost made in the 90s by Oliver Stone of all people. He wanted to do a film titled "Elektra: Assassin" that would have followed Elektra battling The Hand, and he wanted professional volleyball player Gabrielle Reece to play the titular character. When the rights to Daredevil and Elektra were sold to Fox, Stone left the project due to the complications of working with different studios and producers.
