we met with Charlie Cox (Daredevil) & Elodie Young (Elektra) at the Netflix slate event in Paris and talked about season 2 and a possible season 3 of Daredevil.
Maybe he's just always in character ;) He said in an interview while shooting he just keeps speaking in an American accent all the time because it's just easier than switching back-and-forth, so maybe he also keeps acting blind all the time too.
With interviews in Season one, he kept his eye gaze *normal*. I think he's just so into being Matt, he can't shake it when he interviews now. It's just a part of him and not just a gig anylonger.
Charlie's American accent is great. I would never have guessed he's British. For you British people out there -- what kind of British accent does he have? Is it upper class? It doesn't sound especially that way to me but my idea of an English upper class accent comes from period pieces like Downton Abbey. Maybe nobody talks like that anymore, I wouldn't know. I'm asking because I found on the web he's supposed to be descended from earls and baronets and such.
FYI English period pieces don't actually use the correct accent of the time, but more posh modern ones. An upper class Victorian accent would sound too comical for modern viewers!
Standard South-East, middle-class accent. I wouldn't have him down as especially posh. Though it might seem that way as London and the South-East of England are wealthier than the rest of the UK.
He does sound slightly posh but not The Queen's level of posh. I'm from the north east of the country where our accent has a lot of slang words so when I hear him speak he does sound posh to me.
EVERY TIME YOU GET A BOMB ASS ACTRESS TO PLAY ELEKTRA AND THEY DO SUCH A GREAT JOB BUT THEN YOU GIVE HER SHIT STORY LINES.. happened with Jen Garner and now Elodie Yung. They are amaaazinghg but Damnnn they let elektra down. SHE HAS HER OWN and she can hold her own.
Kay2be2mr ..me too. I don't know why but I don't see her fit as Elektra. I would preffer Rosario Dawson as Elektra but she's already taken Claire's character.
Elodie is absolutely perfect as Elektra. She brings a believable intensity to the role. She has a great resemblance to the character and her black belt in karate gives her the confidence to play this character to the hilt. I think the character would become cartoonish if someone else was playing her.
In my opinion elektra was a big distraction in daredevil 2, I got so sick of her character because her chemistry with Matthew didn't feel real to me on the other hand Karen and matt worked perfectly. Seeing them together mad me feel so real and emotional at the same time. I dislike elektra as love interest for matt but I love her playing black sky, she is a bad ass and played negative role perfectly in defenders. I was disappointed that matt still loved her in defenders and thought of not watching daredevil 3, but now I'm happy because in the comic karen page is actually matts soulmate and most loved women for him. I wish and hope season 3 will bring the original elements of karen and matt relationship as it is in daredevil comic.
Elektra is a volumptous Greek Women why they cast A flat Thai women? Lol Bland tooDude is a good Daredevil and Kingpin is perfect. Jon should have beemWolverine instead of Frank Castle
She does not look white at all to me lol,they even have a Chinese actress play the Young Elektra and mention this version of Elektra is adopted so yeah
Charlie's american accent is so good it was originally hard for me to believe that his British accent was the real one.
you dirty bitch
Ikr
It's also hard to believe he's not actually blind.
I didn't like Elektra at first but now I ship them so hard , great storyline btw I love her accent
lilith lee daredevil & elektra are the shit together. Shipped them since the comics
I love Daredevil so much, all of the actors are doing an outstanding job.
Why does it look like Charlie is still acting blind? xD
ikr XD

destinyawaitsx3 ROFL 😅
it's cause his eyes don't focus anywhere. I think he does it unconsciously.
welp, another Charlie Cox interview that isn't goddamn long enough
Charlie is the best actor to ever portray daredevil
They have incredible chemistry.
CHARLIE'S TONGUE ON 1:34 WHAT THE FUCK EXCUSE ME

I hope Matt and elektra end up together way better then Matt and Karen Matt and elektra all the way
Vbajor10 if its gonna be like comics then u gon hav to get used to this
Dionne Morrison if it ends up like comics could end up with either really espically with what Karen does to Matt in the comics

This pero la quimica es tan buena
On her t-shirt "A french woman" on t'aime Elektra!!!
Elodie yung you are so beautiful😍
i love daredevil
"Hello Matthew"
I thought Charlie stare blankly in DD because matt is blind but it seems like it's a habit of his
Still thinking he is blind
HAHAHA.. the look at Matts face when she said that lol 1:36
I ship them so hard 😂❤
I can’t be the only one looking at his eyes and trying to figure out if he’s blind or not
Please Marvel bring the original cast back. Vincent D'Onofrio was amazing as Fisk.
I want them together
Love season 2
how I wish I was as beautiful and sexy as Elodie young (elektra)... that would be so awesome!!!
So weird seeing Charlie without his glasses and his stick
go! for it. D
Damn it Elektra, why couldn't you stop the killing?

He's got a pretty middle class accent tbh, like southern middle class I'd say, I'm not too great with accents though so I'm not 100% sure!

Where is Elodie from? Her accent is so good and so different
She is French
There's a mistake in the title, you write Elodie Yung without a O (not young)
Charlie Cox needs to stop looking blank into space, makes him look blind lol
Ahh frenchies
is charlie cox really blind? looks like it
not used to their accent here lol
EVERY TIME YOU GET A BOMB ASS ACTRESS TO PLAY ELEKTRA AND THEY DO SUCH A GREAT JOB BUT THEN YOU GIVE HER SHIT STORY LINES.. happened with Jen Garner and now Elodie Yung. They are amaaazinghg but Damnnn they let elektra down. SHE HAS HER OWN and she can hold her own.
Elodie is French but she speaks with an Australian accent?
I dont like them together but I love them both individually
*Yung
when is season 3 coming
2017
Yeah 2018. The defenders is going to air in 2017
There was a report that Daredevil will also appear in the upcoming "Punisher" spin-off, which is already filming, to be released in 2017.
my guess, march 2018
2018
I thought that elodie would be English because her accent and I couldn't believe she was French.
First
Jenniffer gardner's Electra :D,Daredevil's Daredevil :D
I don't really like her as Elektra. I'm not sure why.
Kay2be2mr racism
Kay2be2mr ..me too. I don't know why but I don't see her fit as Elektra. I would preffer Rosario Dawson as Elektra but she's already taken Claire's character.

I think the character would become cartoonish if someone else was playing her.
Maybe because she is not American...
its because her face puts a strong impression as would be wife, we dont want our wife to be working as electra, we want her to be feminine :)

matt and karen had literally zero chem
Elektra is a volumptous Greek Women why they cast A flat Thai women? Lol Bland tooDude is a good Daredevil and Kingpin is perfect. Jon should have beemWolverine instead of Frank Castle
Only half? Wow could have fooled me haha
Thought she was a 100 percent Thai something
She does not look white at all to me lol,they even have a Chinese actress play the Young Elektra and mention this version of Elektra is adopted
so yeah
She's not Thai. She's French-Cambodian !
Maybe because it’s not all about looks? Maybe because the casting director thought she embodies the character in other ways?
