After a nearly twenty-year hiatus, Jennifer Garner is returning to the role of Marvel Comics’ assassin anti-heroine Elektra for Deadpool 3.
The Marvel Studios’ production is currently shooting with Ryan Reynolds reprising his fan-favorite part of the fourth wall-breaking Merc with a Mouth. Hugh Jackman has come out of Marvel retirement to play Wolverine once again.
Shawn Levy is in the director’s chair with the project.
Garner first played the Marvel assassin in 20th Century Fox’s Daredevil, the 2003 feature that starred Ben Affleck as the Man Without Fear. While the film was not a hit, it did spawn a spinoff, with Garner toplining solo act Elektra two years later.
That too, was not a box office success, but it was noteworthy as Garner was one of the few women to lead a studio comic book movie at the time.
Producing Deadpool 3 are Marvel’s Kevin Feige, Levy, and Reynolds. The script is by Reynolds, Levy, Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese and Zeb Wells.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 3, 2024, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.
