SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which is now in theaters. This film is significant because Jennifer Garner reprises her role as Elektra, a character from the Marvel Universe. Her experience at Comic-Con is directly related to her role in this film.
Jennifer Garner, a beacon of joy, brought her infectious positivity to an uncomfortable situation at Comic-Con.
The actress and optimist shared videos on her social media account over the weekend showing her stuck in a stalled elevator at the convention. She captioned the post, “Baby’s first Comic Con: a short story.”
Garner, who reprises her role as Elektra in the new hit film Deadpool & Wolverine, was participating in a panel discussion with some of her co-stars when she and others found themselves unable to get out of an elevator at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego in California.
“I could use a Wolverine, a Deadpool, or someone,” she said in her first video. Thanks for having us here. This is my first Comic-Con.”
Each video contained a time stamp of how long they were stuck, and things got a little heated, literally.
“It’s toasty,” a perspiring Garner said. “I’m sphitzy. I need to blot.”
With her trademark humor, Garner kept the atmosphere light, even in a tense situation like being stuck in an elevator. After 40 minutes, she led everyone in a round of the song “99 Bottles of Beer.”
Following a call to 911, at an hour and 12 minutes, Garner can be seen visibly excited when the doors are finally opened by first responders, and those inside the elevator begin to cheer.
She made it to the panel. If there were a Marvel character whose superpower was positivity, it would surely be Garner.
