The upcoming installment of the Deadpool franchise is throwing surprises one after the other. Starting from Hugh Jackman’s return, Ryan Reynolds surprised fans with the news of the film being a part of the MCU slate as well. Following the MCU news, when fans got to know about the inclusion of more MCU characters, they became extremely excited. Now, to add to their thrill, the movie just announced the return of another character from the Marvel Universe after getting Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff to the franchise.

MCU has a lot of characters who did not get famous similar to the likes of Steve Rogers for instance. But as individual characters, they had their own charm that made them unforgettable for the fans. A character like this is returning to the MCU after a big break. Jennifer Garner is ready to make a comeback to the universe. The Adam Project star is coming back to reprise her character of Elektra after more than nearly 2 decades, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

The 51-year-old actress first appeared as the character in the 20th Century Fox film, Daredevil. Although the movie did not do well in the theaters, the character of Elektra got a lot of recognition. After two years of her debut, Elektra even got a spin-off film. Despite the spin-off not getting the expected response at the Box Office as well, fans loved the actress and her portrayal of the evil of the MCU.

Now, the 13 Going on 30 star is confirmed to come back to reprise the fan-favorite character. As we have already talked about Deadpool 3 following the multiverse story, having Elektra add to this mystery. While there are a lot of things to uncover before the film hits the theaters, the news of this iconic character’s return has just made fans’ day.
