Elektra (2005), directed by Rob Bowman and starring Jennifer Garner, is a standalone spin-off from the 2003 Daredevil film that centers on the Marvel Comics assassin-turned-antiheroine Elektra Natchios. The film follows Elektra as she is drawn into protecting a young woman (Abbie Cornish) targeted by a secretive religious cult, while confronting her own fragmented past and conscience.
Released as a spin-off from the 2003 film Daredevil (which starred Ben Affleck), Elektra focuses entirely on Jennifer Garner’s portrayal of the titular character. After seemingly dying in the previous film, Elektra Natchios is resurrected. She becomes a highly skilled contract killer, haunted by her childhood memories and a strict obsession with cleanliness and order.

Directed by Rob Bowman, the film was produced on a budget of approximately $43–65 million but was a critical and commercial failure, grossing roughly $57 million worldwide. Critics often cited a "tone-deaf" script and disjointed plot as major drawbacks, though Garner's performance was frequently praised for its physical commitment. The film's poor reception led Marvel producers to admit the project was rushed and significantly impacted the development of female-led superhero films for years following its release.
Jennifer Garner reprises her role as the sai-wielding protagonist, bringing a physical and emotional depth to the character.
