It seems those rumors that Deadpool 3 is set to take a much deeper dive into the Multiverse that we realized were true!

In a piece of casting news it's safe to say nobody saw coming, THR reports that Jennifer Garner is set to reprise the role of Elektra Natchios for the Marvel Cinematic Universe-set threequel, which is currently filming in London.

The trade doesn't share many more details, but we can't imagine Garner will have anything close to a substantial role - although her involvement may lend credence to a recent rumor that Ben Affleck will appear as Daredevil.

Garner debuted as the lethal assassin in 2003's Daredevil, before returning two years later for a solo Elektra spin-off. The movie was not a box office success (and was panned by critics), but Garner was praised for her performance, and it was notable for being one of the first female-led superhero movies.

Garner joins Ryan Reynolds as the Merc With a Mouth, and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (don't be surprised if a few more X-Men also show up).

Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) will all return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), whose roles are still under wraps.

Plot details also remain a mystery for now, but Wade and Wolvie are expected to find themselves (trapped?) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A recent rumor claimed that Loki's TVA, including Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson) and Miss Minutes, will be involved. We have also been led to believe that Wade's MCU debut will be far more integral to Phase 5 and beyond than we first realized.

Shawn Levy is directing Deadpool 3, which is set to hit theaters on September 6, 2024.

Oh wow! Okay then….
I am ready for the stereotypical Evanescence track to play when she appears!
If they don’t hit it, then this movie is gonna be trash.

It's going to be real awkward if Affleck is in it in any way shape or form.

He’s rumored to be in it.

@MCUKnight11 - Will it though? They are obviously still friendly with each other given the fact that they are co parenting their children still

@Mrcool210 - given that and Affleck's amicable cameos or brief appearances for things like Kevin Smith films, I can see him willing to reprise alongside her.

@Slotherin - There's no way they would have one but not the other. I'm really hoping it's true. I've always wanted to see a sequel to Affleck's daredevil and if this is the best I got. So be it. I like that movie more than a lot of people

@MCUKnight11 - it would be amusing if Ben Affleck’s Matt Murdock runs into Happy, he be like, “Foggy? What are you doing here?” Huh? I’m Happy…

I honestly think Daredevil is the only movie I've ever watched Jennifer Garner in. In my world, I've watched her in those Capital One commercials more. But I digress: I did not buy into her Elektra at all.

They going to lump all the early 2000’s superhero movies into one universe or is deadpool going on his own multiverse adventure

@dracula - wouldn't be surprised if those 2000s Marvel movies get thrown into one universe and it's a Deadpool Kills the Marvel (Fox) Universe.

Although it'll probably be Deadpool and Wolverine hopping universes looking for a good one for Deadpool to settle (spoiler: it's the MCU).

@dracula - Scoopers like MyTimeToShine and CanWeGetSomeToast are saying that the movie is planning to use Fox's disregard for continuity in their X-Men movies (or Marvel movies in any case seeing how now Elektra will appear here) as part of a plot point.

@MCUKnight11 - Gotta wait for Comic Con, F4 cast reveal coming soon, about 2 more weeks.

I cant wait for Deadpool to reference no way home through much of the movie. Ben Affleck showing up as Daredevil " are you gonna destroy this universe for the studio like you did for Warner Brothers and Whedons Josstice League!" 🤣🤣🤣
