Jennifer Garner's return as Elektra was one of the few Deadpool and Wolverine surprises to be confirmed by the trades prior to the movie's release, but it didn't make her MCU debut as the lethal former assassin any less impactful.

Along with Blade (Wesley Snipes), X-23 (Dafne Keen) and Gambit (Channing Tatum), Elektra joins Logan and the Merc With a Mouth to make a stand against Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) and her villainous variants.

Garner shared a video montage of her traning routine to get "Marvel fit" for the role last night, and Ryan Reynolds has now posted some official stills along with some kind words for his co-star, who got to suit-up as Elektra again 20 years after the character's solo movie.

"This @jennifer.garner person. She has a blackbelt in nice, but has inside her, an unblinking hurricane of vengeance™️. I’ve worked with Jen twice now. She brings a completely different scope of skills to each movie but can’t hide one detail… I don’t care how talented someone is, you can’t hide humanity. She’s not only one of my favourite performers, she’s one of my favourite people. I love her and I will now and always, owe her one. Or five. What a baller."

The MPAA 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.

The joke about Daredevil made me laugh because he left her the first time for J-Lo, got back together and then it happened again. Sheesh

@bobevanz - You mean left J-Lo for her and then got back together with J-Lo.

Why would the TVA have to worry about Elektra or Blade or Gambit to stick them in the "void"? How did Deadpool know about X-23? Main plot was really bad. The movie had some good jokes and Wolverine was in full costume cool! But overall? This was a let down for me.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - Their realities were pruned. Probably from the time when the TVA still did that.

Deadpool knew all about Laura from the first act of the movie. You can't be half an hour late for a movie and then complain about plot holes.

@ObserverIO - Her name wasn't mentioned. TVA showed Logan's death on the tv with a little girl by her side. Her name wasn't mentioned. Her claws weren't even shown. Deadpool should no idea who she is other than just the girl who was there when he died.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - I suppose you're right. Well then he was abusing his fourth wall breaking powers.

@FireandBlood - she's basically the best thing to have happened to him. Shame.

@FireandBlood - @Super12 - She's still in his life though. Only now he gets to hit that J-Lo ass 24/7.

@ObserverIO - That’ll burn him even more, to see the best woman that ever happened to him get on with it while he settles for the next best thing

FireandBlood - 8/6/2024, 10:02 AM
@ObserverIO - Because he looks miserable with J Lo

@FireandBlood - I think he's just playing into the sadfleck meme by playing the cool, cantankerous almost apathetic kind of guy.

Or maybe he's just exhausted from his daily sex-marathon. Because if I were with J-Lo I don't care how tired I'd get, I would be inspired to keep going, y'know? With Elektra (I mean um, Garner) there's be some good love-making going on sure, but it'd be more about bliss and happiness, family life. Idyllic stuff. And he's still kinda got that. Maybe without the love-making, lol... or maybe not who knows, maybe J-Lo's generous. Maybe she gets involved.

I'm gonna stop myself there before I get carried away.

@lazlodaytona will be in his bunk.

@ObserverIO - The dream of J Lo will always be better than the reality. That’s the difference between her and Garner. The latter lives up to the dream, while J Lo can’t keep a relationship to save her life.

I never minded her as Elektra and thought she did fine in the 2003 DD film (never saw her own solo tbh).

Also , she still looks damn good!!

I will say though that her cameo felt the least impactful and didn’t really have any standout moments imo unlike the others which is unfortunate (though she definitely felt like the leader).
