Garner came to Instagram on Monday to clarify that she was in shape two decades ago while filming “Elektra,” but that level of fitness would not enough for a Marvel film.
In the video, Garner, 52, demonstrated rigorous routines that helped her get in peak shape for her action-packed cameo. The actress recalls the moment Ryan Reynolds and filmmaker Shawn Levy approached her about reprising her part in the third “Deadpool” film.
We were on the set of ‘The Adam Project,’ and they gave each other this glance that can express a concept, 20 pages of conversation, nuclear codes — there’s a crazy artistic kismet between those two,” Garner captioned the photo.
“Other than trying to convince my kids’ preschool buddies that I was secretly a ninja, I hadn’t picked up Elektra’s sais since 2004; I was fit, but not Marvel fit,” she said.
