Is Jennifer Garner in 'Deadpool 3'? Fans call her 'The Best Elektra Ever'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As 'Deadpool 3' enters production and gears up for a 2024 summer release, it appears that the film will pay homage to the defunct Fox Marvel franchise by bringing back Jennifer Garner as Elektra. Ryan Reynolds will finally bring Wade Wilson into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and the inclusion of Elektra suggests that the film will explore the multiverse concept.
Garner previously portrayed Elektra in Ben Affleck's 'Daredevil' movie in 2003 and starred in her own spinoff film, 'Elektra', in 2005. While specific details about Elektra's role in 'Deadpool 3' are currently unknown, it is likely that she will be a character whom Deadpool encounters while traversing different universes. Given the size of the cast, Elektra's storyline may not be extensive, but her appearance aligns with the film's rumored exploration of the multiverse and Twitter cannot keep its calm.

A sequel of grab-bag of humor
Garner's return as Elektra also adds credibility to rumors of ex-husband, Ben Affleck, reprising his role as Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, in 'Deadpool 3'. The film presents an opportunity to catch up with Daredevil and Elektra since their films were released in the early 2000s. Moreover, the inclusion of characters from the early Fox Marvel films raises speculation about potential connections to the old 'Fantastic Four' movies, which featured Chris Evans as Johnny Storm.
Twitter users were quick with their takes on the development. While one said, "Oh im so seated", another penned, "They finished filming last month and the spoilers are already coming. By the time this hits theaters, we’ll know everything".
Some users were even bent on the chemistry between the exes, writing, "The behind the scenes between her and Ben Affleck will be CRAZY". One user wrote, "Holy Moly! The Best Elektra Ever has finally returns to the big screen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Currently in production
Currently in production, the Marvel Studios film features Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the titular character, with Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine. The film is being directed by Shawn Levy, known for his work on movies like 'Night at the Museum' and 2022's 'The Adam Project', in which Jennifer Garner and Reynolds also starred.
According to THR and various sources, Garner's inclusion in the film suggests a plotline that involves the multiverse, incorporating characters from the Twentieth Century Fox Marvel universe, which was separate from Disney and Marvel. This indicates an exciting expansion of the film's universe beyond the traditional Marvel Cinematic Universe.
