It appears casting is under way for ninja assassin and love interest of Matt Murdock, Elektra.

The news comes from Marvel_Spider’s tweet, which links to deleted video auditions for Shiva Kalaiselvan (no movie or TV credits) and Louisa Mignone (Wish You Were Here).

Both videos reportedly showed Kalaiselvan and Mignone's respective auditions from the same two scenes, the first with a criminal victim, and the second with Matt Murdock during their college years.

Although believed to be auditions for the role of Elektra, the videos claim the actors were auditioning for a character called Elise.

Both videos were removed quickly after they surfaced, but you can read a transcription of the scene here.
