Summary
Ben Affleck could potentially redeem himself by returning as Matt Murdock in Deadpool 3 after the mixed response to his portrayal of Daredevil in 2003.
Jennifer Garner, who previously received criticism for her portrayal of Elektra Natchios, might have an opportunity to rectify her past errors in the upcoming film alongside Affleck. Given that Affleck is no longer playing Batman in the DC Extended Universe, Deadpool 3 presents an ideal chance for him to reprise his role as Daredevil before Charlie Cox takes over for Phase 5.
Marvel Studios' upcoming Deadpool 3 features the return of Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil, accompanied by a star-studded cast. Ryan Reynolds will join the MCU in 2024's Deadpool 3, making it the first time a character from a different Marvel movie franchise permanently transitions to Marvel Studios. Notably, Hugh Jackman, Stefan Kapičić, and Jennifer Garner will reprise their superhero roles for cameos in Deadpool 3, including Garner's portrayal of Elektra Natchios. This highly anticipated film is expected to showcase the MCU's largest multiverse-centric project yet, with various actors from different Marvel franchises making appearances. Speculation suggests that Deadpool and Daredevil may find themselves entangled with Loki's Time Variance Authority, as implied by fan art from AGT Design.
With the return of the TVA in Loki season 2 before the release of Deadpool 3 in 2024, there is a potential for the organization to play a role in the upcoming project. This could serve as a fitting explanation for Ben Affleck's reprisal of the character Matt Murdock, allowing him to reunite with Garner's Elektra.
Ben Affleck’s MCU Return Would Be The Perfect Redemption
In 2003's Daredevil, Ben Affleck made his debut as Matt Murdock, expressing his strong connection to the role as Daredevil had been his beloved childhood comic book character. Notably, artist Joe Quesada even took inspiration from Affleck for a rendition of the character. Despite his enthusiasm, Affleck's portrayal received a mixed response. However, his return as Matt Murdock in the upcoming Phase 5 of the MCU offers a golden opportunity for redemption. Jennifer Garner, who also faced criticism for her solo project as Elektra Natchios in 2005, could join forces with Affleck in Deadpool 3 to address and rectify past mistakes.
Ben Affleck's portrayal of Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman, in the DC Extended Universe has been marked by turmoil. Despite being denied a standalone project and relegated to minor roles in various endeavors, Affleck will not be reprising the role at all after his cameo in The Flash in 2023. This opens up the possibility for his return as Daredevil in Deadpool 3, as it provides the perfect opportunity before Charlie Cox establishes himself as the official Daredevil of the MCU in Phase 5's Daredevil: Born Again.
