A two-decades-old Marvel flop has become an unexpected Netflix hit.
In simpler terms, Elektra serves as a standalone story that originated from the Daredevil film. Jennifer Garner plays the role of Elektra, a skilled assassin, who takes on a mission to safeguard a man and his exceptionally talented daughter against another deadly assassin.
In simpler terms, the movie experienced a resurgence on Netflix USA last week, ranking as the seventh most-viewed film, with approximately 5.1 million viewers and over 8.2 million hours of viewing time logged.

The movie titled Elektra has received widespread negative reviews and currently holds an abysmal 11% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Rolling Stone labeling it a “tediously dull spinoff” in their scathing 1-star review.
The Time Out publication implied that the spin-off wasn’t particularly impressive, even for a Marvel production. On the other hand, The Daily Telegraph described it as poor-quality studio output of the lowest rank.
Yet, it wasn’t entirely negative as Chicago Reader put it: “While it doesn’t revolutionize the world, I found its traditional narrative structure endearing. It stands out for being unaffected by pretension, self-awareness, or the sort of witty banter reminiscent of Kill Bill.
Despite the hopes, the film didn’t perform exceptionally well at the box office, earning roughly $56.9 million against an estimated production cost ranging from $43 million to $65 million.
Last year, Garner returned to her character Elektra in the film “Deadpool and Wolverine,” a production that ranked as the second highest-earning movie of 2024.
If you’re keen on reliving some early 2000s charm from Jennifer Garner, the popular romantic comedy “13 Going on 30” that she starred in is now available for streaming on Netflix.
In this film, the story revolves around a 13-year-old girl who expresses a heartfelt wish for maturity. When she awakens, she discovers that she’s transformed into a 30-year-old woman and finds herself working as an editor at a magazine.
Elektra is available to stream now on Netflix US and UK.
