DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE: Jennifer Garner Shares Training Video As She Suits-Up As Elektra Again After 20 Years

Jennifer Garner has shared a video of some of the training she undertook after agreeing to reprise the role of Elektra for Deadpool and Wolverine...

Earlier today, the stars and director of Deadpool and Wolverine opened the floodgates on the movie's many surprises, officially unveiling first looks at major cameos from the likes of Henry Cavill (Wolverine variant "Cavillerine"), Channing Tatum (Gambit), and Wesley Snipes (Blade).

Now, Jennifer Garner has followed suit by sharing a video of her intense training regime to get "Marvel fit" once she agreed to reprise the role of Elektra Natchios after last donning the costume 20 years ago for the character's much-maligned solo movie.

The video ends with Garner fully suited-up as Elektra, giving her sai a twirl.

"I remember the moment @slevydirect and @vancityreynolds had the idea for Elektra Natchios to show up in @deadpoolmovie 3— we were on the set of The Adam Project and they gave each other this look they have that can communicate an idea, 20 pages of dialogue, nuclear codes— there is a crazy artistic kismet between those two.

"Other than trying to convince my kids’ preschool buddies that I was secretly a ninja, I hadn’t picked up Elektra’s sais since 2004; I was fit, but not @marvel fit. 🥷🏻👵🏼 As this impossible dream became reality, my bestie and OG stunt double @shaunaduggins and I amped up our training, led by @bethjnicely at @thelimitfit: 1x/day, plus whatever homework she assigned for a second workout. Boxing 3x/ week with @flvcothefuture from @matchroomxchurchillgym. And lots and lots of @onepeloton’s @becsgentry. 💃🏻🏋🏻‍♀️🥊🏃🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️ We had #SuperHeroSummer over here, twirling sais in the backyard and laughing at our sore old bodies.

I didn’t know that Elektra and I needed an ending, but Shawn and Ryan did. They are gifted in many ways, but seeing and elevating people around them is at the top of the list. Shauna and I were in heaven on set with them, with my old pal @thehughjackman, @dafnekeen, @channingtatum, @realwesleysnipes. Shooting the fight was so fun, being there all together—truly like a dream. I’m proud of my friends and grateful to be up there with them. Thank you doesn’t cut it, guys, but it’s a good placeholder until I figure out what does."

The MPAA recently gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

Shes always been a beast. I do wish Affleck had a cameo so her character could have some closure.

It is really sad that they’re talking more about Blade and Gambit (which is understandable, they are more popular) and kind of ignoring Elektra and Jennifer Garner’s comeback.

Yes the Elektra movie was not good , and Daredevil (2003) might not have been as popular as the Blade movies , but I really think Jennifer Garner did as well as she could with the character and I actually really liked her movie.

I had Elektra on repeat back in 2005 for a good 2 months.

So I was really glad she came back and loved seeing her with the team.

But it bothers me that everyone got a nice little action scene except her!!
All this training and we barely even saw her fight !!
Come on Shawn Levy!!

@MisterDoctor217 - tbf in all of the youTube crowd reactions ive seen, Blade and Elekta got the loudest cheers.

It was tatums Gambit that got the least amount of cheers, which is probably because the GA have no idea who Gambit is or why he was played by channing tatum.

Yeah that’s true, it’s just Balde and Gambit appear and they kinda forget she’s there lol
Or idk
But she definitely did get a reaction when she first appears

@MisterDoctor217 - back when I actually had cable, I legitimately watched Elektra almost every time it came on tnt. It was something about that movie that I loved

@MisterDoctor217 - Low key, i think Elektra was a better made movie than Daredevil. They just didn't have much of star draw outside of Garner and Stamp.

Daredevil rode on Spider-Man 2002 and had a good cast of actors and a kicked off Colin Farrell's career from that wiild performance. He saved that movie tbh.

@MisterDoctor217 - yep, well I know I definitely did lol.

but hats probably because I've watched Blade 1&2 like 30 times and have never seen the elektra movie.

@MisterDoctor217 - "they’re talking more about Blade and Gambit (which is understandable, they are more popular) and kind of ignoring Elektra and Jennifer Garner’s comeback."

Garner's involvement was officially announced months ago, making it slightly less "newsworthy," so that's probably a contributing factor.

Whenever something new comes out , some people will hate that and begin to praise the thing that came before (just look at SW).

@TheRogue - I was not aware the word IZ is now "racist", seeing that term has been used here for over a year at least. I've never heard anyone using in a "racist" context.

I'm sure the word THE could be racist if you were looking hard enough.
Asking someone a question similiar to "have you stopped beating your wife" shows you already had your mind made up and are just looking to white knight about "He IZ still Kang."
TheRogue
TheRogue - 8/5/2024, 8:00 PM
@Feralwookiee - Do people.....ask you a lot of if you're beating your wife?
Feralwookiee
Feralwookiee - 8/5/2024, 8:14 PM
@TheRogue - No.
It's "HAVE YOU STOPPED beating your wife?"
It's a loaded question in which no matter what you answer, it implies guilt. Similar to asking a person "Are you racist?" Answer yes and the accuser says "Ah ha! I knew it you scum."
Answer no and the accuser says "Sure thing you lying racist". Same thing.

We're all predjuiced imo, in that we have preconceived notions about others, much like yourself, but actually "racist"? I don't believe as many people are as you think and your definition of that word will vary greatly from others'.
I'd have to assume you are a younger person based on your sensitivity and line of questioning, although that may be a wrong assumption (or predjuice) on my part.
That said, I don't care about a person's "race", which again is a rather vague term and I've never hated anybody because of their "race" or something as shallow as the pigment of their upper epidermis.
If a person is an asshole, they're an asshole regardless of their pigmentation or "race".
But, I'm sure you've already made your mind up and can feel certain that I am literally Hitler, (even though I am myself "two or more races) because that's how the internet rolls these days.

Have a good day.
