In a delightful twist that’s caught everyone off guard, Jennifer Garner has made her much-anticipated comeback as Elektra in the latest installment of the Deadpool franchise, alongside Wolverine.
This return not only marks a significant moment for fans but also carries a subtle homage to her past relationship with ex-husband Ben Affleck.
Their story began on the set of the 2003 film Daredevil, where Garner and Affleck first crossed paths.
The chemistry they shared on-screen quickly blossomed into a genuine romance, captivating audiences and setting the stage for their future together.
They welcomed three children—Violet, Finn, and Samuel—after tying the knot in 2005.
However, their marriage came to an end in 2015, yet their bond remains intact.
In the new film, which hit theaters on July 26, Garner’s character, Elektra, faces a formidable foe in Cassandra Nova, who has just eliminated a character named Thrillseeker.
When Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool extends his condolences, Elektra’s nonchalant response, “It’s fine,” hints at her emotional detachment.
This moment resonates as a playful jab at her own past, showcasing Garner’s ability to blend humor with nostalgia.
Garner’s cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine isn’t just a random appearance; it’s part of a larger trend of surprise cameos in superhero films.
Just days before the film’s release, Reynolds teased fans during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, neither confirming nor denying the buzz surrounding potential surprises in the movie.
Despite their separation, Garner and Affleck have successfully maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship.
Garner has been romantically linked to businessman John Miller since 2018, while Affleck rekindled his romance with Jennifer Lopez, marrying her in 2022.
Their respective journeys have been closely followed by fans and tabloids alike.
However, whispers of trouble in paradise have emerged regarding Affleck and Lopez’s marriage.
The actor’s absence from notable events, such as the Met Gala and the premiere of Lopez’s film Atlas, has fueled speculation about their relationship status.
