Jennifer Garner is making waves in Hollywood again as she returns to the big screen to reprise her iconic role as Elektra Natchios in the latest superhero flick, "Deadpool & Wolverine." Not only did she get the chance to once again wield her signature swords, but the actress also took the opportunity to throw a playful jab at her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. It turns out, the director Shawn Levy revealed that Garner’s cheeky joke wasn’t actually cleared ahead of time by Affleck, adding an extra layer of humor to her electrifying comeback.

To prepare for her role, Garner embarked on a jaw-dropping training regimen that would leave even the most hardcore fitness enthusiasts in awe. The star shared glimpses of her workouts, which included everything from sword-swinging lessons to high-intensity jump squats. Garner joked that getting “Marvel fit” was no easy feat, and with her previous experience as Elektra back in the early 2000s, she clearly tapped into her well-honed skills. She expresses heartfelt thanks to her co-stars like Hugh Jackman and Channing Tatum for supporting her through the grueling routine.

But Garner’s training wasn’t just a means to an end; it was a way for her to reconnect with her beloved character. In an interview, she said it felt "like a dream" to be stepping back into Elektra’s shoes after so many years. The chemistry she shares with the other characters adds layers of excitement and depth to the film, which has been making waves at the box office, heading towards a massive $1 billion in earnings. Fans couldn’t be happier with her thrilling return, calling it a redemption arc that brings new life to a character they adore.

Before returning to the silver screen, Garner balanced her personal life while appearing cheerful during errands with her teenager, Fin Affleck, showcasing that even beyond Hollywood, she maintains a down-to-earth vibe. Overall, her return as Elektra not only highlights her incredible physical transformation but also brings a delightful sense of humor into today’s superhero narrative. With critics applauding her performances and dynamic fight scenes, it’s clear Garner has proven her superhero star power once more!

Did you know that Jennifer Garner originally debuted as Elektra in the 2003 film "Daredevil" alongside Ben Affleck? The character has a rich comic book history, first appearing in "Daredevil #190" in 1974. Garner’s portrayal reinstated her as a fierce heroine long before the term ‘female superhero’ became commonplace in cinema!
