Marvel's Sensational Surprise: Jennifer Garner Set to Reprise Her Iconic Role as Elektra in Deadpool 3!

Deadpool 3 is paying homage to the beloved Fox Marvel franchise by welcoming back Jennifer Garner to reprise her role as Elektra. Ryan Reynolds will also be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wade Wilson, integrating Deadpool into the Avengers-based universe. Currently, production is underway for the highly anticipated film, scheduled for a summer release in 2024.

In a surprising twist, Deadpool 3 is embracing the trend of the multiverse, as noted by THR's report. Garner's return as Elektra after nearly two decades adds another exciting element to the movie. Previously, she portrayed the character in Ben Affleck's Daredevil film in 2003, as well as in her own spinoff film, Elektra, in 2005. Specific details about her involvement in Deadpool 3 have not been disclosed at this time. Joining Garner in the Deadpool 3 cast are Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and a multitude of other returning characters from the Deadpool franchise.

What Jennifer Garner Returning As Elektra Means For Deadpool 3

There are rumors circulating about Deadpool 3, suggesting that Wade will be exploring the multiverse. This explains why Garner's Elektra is being brought into the mix. Given the large cast, Elektra's role is expected to be relatively minor. It is likely that she will be one of the characters Deadpool encounters while traveling through different universes. In typical Deadpool fashion, it wouldn't be surprising if Wade attempts to enter the MCU universe but ends up in the wrong realities instead.

Garner's return as Elektra also fuels speculation about Affleck's presence on the Deadpool 3 set. It is rumored that Affleck will reprise his role as Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil. Deadpool 3 provides an opportunity to catch up on what Daredevil and Elektra have been up to since their 2000s films were released. Additionally, Marvel Studios' willingness to revisit the early Fox Marvel films raises questions about a potential connection to the old Fantastic Four movies, which featured Chris Evans as Johnny Storm.

It would be logical for Deadpool 3 to serve as a conclusive ending to the Fox Marvel movies before Wade is fully incorporated into the MCU. The original X-Men and Fantastic Four films from Fox never received a proper farewell, so it would be amusing to witness Deadpool address the confusion surrounding those films with his trademark fourth-wall-breaking humor, especially now that Marvel Studios has regained the rights. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for more details about Deadpool 3 and what we can anticipate from this MCU installment.
