Riding on the billion-dollar box office train, Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds, was destined to become the Marvel Jesus. Reynolds threw himself into the role with a dedication that was almost divine, and after the release of the biggest R-rated hit ever, the chimichanga-loving antihero turned his social media into a shrine of gratitude for the stars who pulled the strings on the screen. But besides his own acknowledgments, his efforts even impacted his reel life mother, Jennifer Garner, making her feel like a superhero in her own right!

The blockbuster that defined the summer of 2024, with lines around the block to see the regeneration of Marvel icons, has now turned into a gratitude fest, transforming the lives of even the biggest stars.

Deadpool & Wolverine had a lot going for it, but beyond the epic showmanship and collaboration between the Merc with a Mouth and the Clawed Canuck, the real treat was seeing fan favorites like X-23 and Elektra back in action. According to a recent scoop from Life & Style, Jennifer Garner’s return as Elektra not only wrapped up 2024 with a spot in the biggest R-rated hit ever but has also sparked some juicy new offers that might just catapult her Hollywood career to dazzling new heights.

“Jennifer Garner expected Deadpool & Wolverine to be a hit, even a sizable one, but she didn’t expect it to completely turn her career upside down”, a source informed the outlet. After not landing a bold, action-packed role for almost 20 years since Elektra, Garner was in for a pleasant shock. The insider highlighted how this career shake-up was a welcome surprise, especially since Garner had been itching to dive back into serious action movies, and it turns out Ryan Reynolds played a key role in making that happen.

The report not only showcased the comeback Garner made but also revealed how some roles she is now eyeing were totally out of her grasp just a year ago.

According to a recent chat with Life & Style, Jennifer Garner’s electrifying return as Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine has skyrocketed her stock in Hollywood. The insider informs she has got her pick of all the coolest roles—parts that were totally out of her reach just a year ago. Consequently, Garner is now soaking up the sweet rewards of her success, with one exciting opportunity after another coming her way.

While Jennifer Garner is over the moon for landing a role in Deadpool & Wolverine that is practically a cosmic career comeback, the insider spilled that her ex-hubby Ben Affleck might be “kicking himself” for missing out. Apparently, the filmmakers wanted him to reprise his Daredevil role, but that chance was nixed because of his divorce drama. However, as Affleck’s chance slipped, Garner’s comeback was not the one to suffer, having orchestrated a retreat straight out of the playbook of legendary returns.
