Jennifer Garner is seemingly coming back in the sai-swinging role of antihero assassin Elektra in 20th Century Studios/Marvel/Disney’s Deadpool 3 via Deadline. Ben Affleck is rumored to return as Daredevil.
She first played the role in 2003’s Daredevil which starred her former husband Ben Affleck, that 20th/Marvel movie grossing $102M stateside, $179M WW.
Garner would play Elektra in her own spinoff movie, but it tanked with $24M domestic, $57M WW.
Deadpool 3 reteams Garner with Deadpool 3 star Ryan Reynolds and its director Shawn Levy, both whom she worked with on the latter’s Netflix movie, The Adam Project.
It has been noted that Hugh Jackman is reprising his role as Wolverine. Given the old club of 20th/Marvel characters boarding this movie, sources believe there’s a multiverse element to Deadpool 3.
The movie will kick off next summer on May 3, 2024. Combined both Deadpool movies have grossed $1.56 billion.
Also returning to Deadpool 3 are Rob Delaney as Human X-Force Member Peter, Monica Baccarin as Vanessa, Stefan Kapicic as Colossus, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Shioli Kutsuna as Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Garner also recently expresseed her love for her ex-husband, Ben Affleck in honor of Father’s Day.
On Sunday, the star, 51, posted on Instagram in celebration of all the dads in her life. Sharing a photo of herself and her parents, Garner penned a sweet tribute that included a shoutout to ex-husband Ben Affleck.
“Happy Father’s Day to the best to ever do the job,” she began. “(Jeans in church 
— I made my connecting flight, but my luggage didn’t 
). We love you, Dad. X”
“PS Shout out to BGA — no one loves their kids like you love ours, happy Father’s Day, Ben! X.”
