Jennifer Garner posts a video of her intense training as Elektra
Jennifer Garner has followed suit by sharing a video of her intense training regime to get "Marvel fit" once she agreed to reprise the role of Elektra Natchios after last donning the costume 20 years ago for the character's much-maligned solo movie.
Along with the video, she wrote in the caption, “I remember the moment @slevydirect and @vancityreynolds had the idea for Elektra Natchios to show up in @ deadpoolmovie 3, we were on the set of The Adam Project and they gave each other this look they have that can communicate an idea, 20 pages of dialogue, nuclear code, there is a crazy artistic kismet between those two.”
She further wrote, “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. As this impossible dream became reality, my bestie and OG stunt double @shaunaduggins and I amped up our training, led by @bethjnicely at @thelimitfit: 1x/day, plus whatever homework she assigned for a second workout. Boxing 3x/ week with @flvcothefuture from @matchroomxchurchillgym. And lots and lots of @onepeloton’s @becsgentry. We had #SuperHeroSummer over here, twirling sais in the backyard and laughing at our sore old bodies.”

“I didn’t know that Elektra and I needed an ending, but Shawn and Ryan did. They are gifted in many ways, but seeing and elevating people around them is at the top of the list. Shauna and I were in heaven on set with them, with my old pal @thehughjackman, @dafnekeen, @channingtatum, @realwesleysnipes. Shooting the fight was so fun, being there all together—truly like a dream. I’m proud of my friends and grateful to be up there with them. Thank you doesn’t cut it, guys, but it’s a good placeholder until I figure out what does.”, she added.
