Jennifer Garner Shares Her Intense Elektra Workout Plan for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ Including Boxing, Sword Training and Rowing: ‘I Was Fit, but Not Marvel Fit’


For her 'Deadpool & Wolverine' cameo as Elektra, Jennifer Garner shared her workout plan on Instagram.

Garner’s return as Elektra was one of the A-list superhero cameos in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and she revealed that Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy originally pitched the role to her while working together on the 2022 film “The Adam Project.” Garner posted her Elektra workout regime on Instagram, which included plenty of sai weapon training, aerobics, swimming, boxing, weight lifting, running, jump rope, rowing and more. Neither movies were received particularly well, but she got to resurrect the character — along with fellow Fox heroes like Wesley Snipes’ Blade, Channing Tatum’s Gambit and Dafne Keen’s X-23 — and give her a proper MCU goodbye with “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
