From The Hollywood Reporter:

Will Yun Lee, who most recently appeared onscreen in Joseph Kahn's "Torque" for Warner Bros. Pictures, is set to star as the main villain in "Elektra" for Regency Enterprises and 20th Century Fox. Shooting starts this month in Vancouver, with Rob Bowman at the helm. The "Daredevil" spinoff stars Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios. In this film, she plays a beautiful but deadly assassin who was trained by the Hand, a clan of mystical ninjas. When she turns her back on them, they want her dead. Lee will play the head of the Hand. Goran Visnjic stars as Garner's love interest, with Terence Stamp rounding out the cast. Producing are Marvel's Avi Arad and Horseshoe Bay partners Mark Steven Johnson and Gary Foster. Lee is repped by Sam Maydew at Pop Art Management and Ryan Martin at Agency for the Performing Arts. He next stars opposite Bai Ling in "Face." He also teamed with Kahn to star opposite Mariah Carey in the songbird's music video "Boy (I Need You)."
