Jennifer Garner will reprise her function as Marvel’s Elektra within the upcoming Deadpool 3, based on The Hollywood Reporter.
Jennifer Garner performed the function of Elektra Natchios within the 2003 Daredevil movie, and once more in 2005’s Elektra. Now she’ll return to the function for Deadpool 3. Deadpool 3 appears to be bringing a handful of actors out of superhero retirement. After years of goofing on one another on social media, Ryan Reynolds introduced Deadpool 3 alongside Hugh Jackman, who confirmed that he’ll be popping out of retirement to as soon as once more play Wolverine.
THR’s report additionally comes on the heels of rumors that Ben Affleck himself can be returning as Daredevil for the film, in addition to rumors earlier this spring that James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and Halle Barry would return as Cyclops, Jean Gray, and Storm, respectively. These rumors are strictly that–rumors–but Garner’s return appears to lend some credence to them probably being true.
As THR notes, Garner’s involvement would level towards Deadpool 3 having some sort of multiverse part. It is smart for the collection; Ryan Reynolds first portrayed a model of the character alongside Jackman in X-Males Origins: Wolverine, and the primary Deadpool movie launched even because the X-Males movies had been rebooted with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender within the roles of Charles Xavier and Magneto. Fox launched the primary two Deadpool movies, whereas this third one can be underneath Disney’s Marvel Studios.
