In the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie, which was released on Friday, July 26, Jennifer Garner seemingly made a joke about her divorce from Ben Affleck during her surprise cameo.
Jennifer Garner played Elektra in the new 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' where she joked about her divorce from Ben Affleck.
In the film, Garner's character Elektra arrived to take Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine to hide from Emma Corrin’s Cassandra.
Elektra noted how the heroes must avoid coming into contact with Cassandra because someone “always dies" in her presence, then mentioning the passing of Quicksilver, Hawkeye and Affleck's Daredevil.
Deadpool offered Elektra his condolences for the death of Daredevil, who was her former lover.
“It’s fine,” Elektra shrugged.
