by

As a long-time fan and admirer of Jennifer Garner’s work, I can’t help but be truly inspired by her dedication and commitment to her craft. Her journey back to the Marvel universe as Elektra after almost two decades is nothing short of remarkable. It shows how age is just a number when passion and determination are involved.

viewers who have already caught the recent Marvel production featuring Deadpool and Wolverine are aware that one of its standout features is an abundance of appearances by actors and characters previously involved in the wider Marvel universe. Among these cameos, the most thrilling is undoubtedly Jennifer Garner’s reprisal of her role as Elektra in the movie.

She took up her character as the antagonist, love interest, and eventually, a supportive ally to Daredevil once more following almost two decades, making it all the more significant. The 52-year-old performer has given us a peek into her fitness routine that helped her achieve “Marvel-worthy” physique prior to reprising her role again. Check it out.

Jennifer Garner shared how she got “Marvel fit” to reprise her role as Elektra

On August 5th, Garner shared an Instagram video showcasing her intense training regimen for reprising her role after almost two decades. She also recounted the time when Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool in the movie) and director Shawn Levy proposed the idea of Elektra appearing in the sequel alongside Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, who is famously known as Wolverine.

Reflecting back, the spark for Elektra Natchios’ appearance in Deadpool 3 ignited on the set of The Adam Project. A glance between Slevydirect and Vancityreynolds, a look that speaks volumes – it could be a conversation, a secret code, or even nuclear instructions. There’s an incredible artistic synergy between these two creative minds. As for me, since 2004, I’ve seldom wielded Elektra’s sais, but convincing my kids’ preschool friends that I was a covert ninja has been a regular pastime. However, getting in Marvel shape at this stage of life, with its unique blend of agility and grace, is quite the challenge! 🥷🏻👵🏼

She expressed that what was once considered an unattainable goal, turned into a lived reality for her and her longtime friend and fellow stunt double Shauna Duggins. They increased their training sessions with Beth Nicely at @thelimitfit from one to two per day, and were additionally given extra assignments for additional workouts. Their boxing sessions became three times a week, accompanied by numerous other exercises and running. She described their summer as a “Superhero Summer,” where they’d twirl sais in the backyard and chuckle at their weary old bodies.

Regarding the comeback of her character, she expressed, “I didn’t realize Elektra and I needed a conclusion, but Shawn and Ryan certainly did. They excel in numerous areas, but their ability to spot and amplify talent is unparalleled. They are simply amazing! Filming the fight was exhilarating, having everyone there together felt like a dream. I’m proud of my friends and honored to stand alongside them. Thank you doesn’t seem sufficient, but it’s a decent substitute until I find the right words.” In her post, she also expressed admiration for her co-stars Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen, Channing Tatum, and Wesley Snipes. “The fight scene was so much fun, being there with everyone – truly like a dream. I’m proud of my friends and grateful to be up there with them. ‘Thank you’ doesn’t quite cut it, guys, but it’s a good place holder until I figure out what does. ⚔️♥️”

Jennifer Garner’s association with the Marvel character Elektra

Throughout the early stages of her career, she made a name for herself in shows, films such as Time of Your Life (1999-2000), Catch Me If You Can (2002), and ABC’s action thriller series Alias (2001-2006). Her fame grew even more with appearances in a series of romantic comedies and the portrayal of Marvel superheroine Elektra.
