Jennifer Garner’s Elektra Will Appear in Deadpool 3
A Hollywood Reporter exclusive reveals that Jennifer Garner has joined Deadpool 3, reprising her role of Elektra from Daredevil (2003) and Elektra. This comes a couple of years after Garner expressed the wish that those films had been part of Kevin Feige’s MCU. This will be the first Deadpool outing produced by Marvel Studios following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019. Matthew McFayden is another newcomer to the series, with regulars Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand, Morena Baccarin, and Karan Soni returning. Hugh Jackman will also reprise his iconic turn as Wolverine.
I actually haven’t seen the Daredevil movie or Elektra. I liked the Deadpool movies, although the second one was a noticeable step down. Disney’s involvement in this third installment doesn’t encourage me; these movies aren’t Disney’s style, and you know they’ll water the humor down. I can’t speak to Garner’s fit for this role or the movies she was in; I just hope this is a fun Easter egg for Marvel fans rather than another sign of impending creative disaster.

Fairly certain they’re doing a Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe adaptation. I wanna see him go against Thomas Jane’s Punisher.
