IGN Film Force just revealed that 26-year-old model/actress Natassia Malthe is set to play the role of Typhoid Mary in the upcoming Daredevil spinoff Elektra starring Jennifer Garner in the title role. If you aren't familiar with Natassia click here to check out some photos and you will be quite excited to see that there will be two hotties battling it out on the big screen, I am not sure who I will be cheering for, also I added one large photo of Natassia at the bottom of this article.

Now, if you don't know exactly who Typhoid Mary is you can get the 411 here, where they say that Mary Walker seems to possess no superhuman powers or at least is unable to access such powers. Her "Typhoid" alter ego, however, is so distinct as to seemingly have a seperate physiology. Typhoid exhibits feats of strength, agility, and fighting prowess that Mary seems incapable of performing, and her metabolism runs so high as to mimic a fever, giving her skin a pinkish hue. Typhoid has exhibited small-scale telekinetic and pyrokenetic abilities and can broadcast subtle telepathic commands. Her victims usually do not realize they are being manipulated and are often of simple commands such as "look at me," although she can use this ability to help make others fall in love with her.
