Washington [US], October 6 : Hollywood star Eiza Gonzalez has finally addressed the reports of her being cast as Elektra in 'Daredevil: Born Again,' the Marvel series being developed for Disney Plus.
The Mexican star also pointed out that she had been receiving hate from fans that seemingly didn't want her in the role through her Twitter handle. "I feel like I'm just gonna get it out of the way because, One, I'm confused as for the amount of hate over this, and two, I feel like it saves people energy," she tweeted. "No I'm not cast as Elektra in Daredevil I have already [an] ongoing series exclusivity contract to 3 Body Problem. Ur welcome."
