FilmJerk has released info on the storyline and characters in the ELEKTRA movie, now slated to start filming May 3 in Vancouver, Canada. The site has posted an overview of the plot for this DAREDEVIL spinoff vehicle that will star Jennifer Garner as the mysterious sai wielding assassin.

Here's how FilmJerk described the ELEKTRA movie's storyline:

"The film finds Elektra (Jennifer Garner) again working for the Order of the Hand, the group that trained and then abandoned her. At the request of Kirigi, the film's villain, she is told to target Harbor Island man named Mark Miller because, she is told, of an act his grandfather performed. A widower, Miller is a likeable man introduced to Elektra by his 13-year-old daughter Abby. After falling for him, Elektra becomes his protector and has to fend off four ninja assassins dispatched by Kirigi. But there is more to Mark Miller than he appears, as he has aligned himself with Stick, Elektra's former mentor, and both he and his daughter are able to defend themselves. In the end, with Kirigi's four assassins defeated, Kirigi faces off against Elektra."

The site also reveals the names and abilities of five of the film's supporting characters, including the villains Kirigi, Tengu, Stone and Typhoid. Upon reading the description of the superhuman ability of Typhoid, fans of the DAREDEVIL comic will recognize that it is indeed the deadly Typhoid Mary from Marvel Comics.
