"No I'm not cast as Elektra in Daredevil I have already a on going series exclusivity contract to 3 Body Problem. Ur welcome."

She then went on to applaud the cast of the series, saying she'll tune in when the show is released just under two years from now.

"I'd appreciate if I could live free of negative ill intended messages about me playing/stealing? a role that I don't even know about," she continued. "Thank you and wishing you all the best. Hopefully I'll get to play a cool superhero at one point of my career and it will be tons of fun and I'd be honored to be even considered. Meanwhile, I'll be watching Daredevil and send that cast all the love."
