Was Jennifer Garner somewhat miscast as Elektra?


I seem to recall the main knock against her was that she seems too wholesome/sweet natured or "WASPy" (in other words, not exotic enough) looking to be plausible as a Greek assassin.

I don't think so.

Yes she was. Someone else like Tia Carrere or Angelina Jolie would had been better.

I think people have a stereotypical view of what Greeks look like. They aren't all dark haired. I am not a comic book fan but I like the contrast of her being sweet and innocent and I think her father's death is what pushes her to become more assassin like.
