Jennifer Garner returns as Elektra in Deadpool 3 – Stereocien Digital

Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as assassin Elektra Natchios for Deadpool 3, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

Garner first played Elektra in the 2003 film Daredevil starring Ben Affleck before starring in her own spinoff film two years later. It was previously revealed that Hugh Jackman would be bringing Wolverine out of retirement for Deadpool 3.

Aside from Jackman, this appears to be the first semi-official confirmation of a non-MCU Marvel actor returning for the multiversal madness shaping up to be Deadpool 3. It would also seem to add credibility to rumors that Affleck would be back on the horns. for a cameo Jackman’s X-friends Famke Janssen (Jean Grey), Halle Berry (Storm) and James Marsden (Cyclops) (Kelsey Grammer’s Beast Justice!) are rumored to appear, while fans have been buzzing about the possibility of that Channing Tatum finally gets to play Ragin’ Cajun after his solo film Gambit went through years of development hell.

Of course, after what happened to all the great X-Force characters that appeared in Deadpool 2, perhaps fans should be more nervous than excited. There’s also the weird fact that we haven’t heard any news about the return of Zazie Beetz as Domino or Josh Brolin as Cable (or Thanos, for that matter), even though they both made it out of the previous film alive.

Deadpool 3 is being directed by Shawn Levy, who co-wrote the script with Reynolds, Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese, and Zeb Wells. Marvel’s Kevin Feige, Levy and Reynolds are producing the film. It is currently scheduled for release on May 3, 2024.
