Kevin Feige of Marvel Studios told The Continuum that 20the Century Fox's Elektra movie is targeted to shoot during Jennifer Garner's hiatus from Alias at the beginning of the summer.
"We've had a number of great writers come in and work on it and we're talking to directors," Feige said of the spin-off film from last year's Daredevil.
Feige talked a little about the type of villains Elektra might be facing.
"She doesn't have the sort of spectacular, over-the-top, costumed, made-up mutated villains," he said. "She has what we believe to be very scary, very sleek, very organized and very deadly adversaries.
"The tone of the film will be fun and adventurous, but the villains always fit their heroes. And Elektra doesn't wear a mask or hide her face. It will be unique villans that I think people will recognize and be very excited to see."
Feige said that, similar to most second films featuring Marvel characters, Elektra's costume will probably be tweaked from the one she wore in Daredevil.
Mark Steven Johnson, who wrote and directed Daredevil, and his partner, Gary Foster, who produced Daredevil, will be producers on Elektra. Johnson and Foster are also working on the Ghost Rider film.
