Jennifer Garner attended her first-ever Comic-Con this weekend in promotion of Deadpool & Wolverine starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the titular heroes.
Reprising her role as Elektra after nearly two-decades for the Marvel film, the actress, 52, needed a superhero to come to her rescue as she attended the convention at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego on Friday, July 26.
At one point, Garner found herself stuck in an elevator with several other people, which she decided to document with a series of videos she posted on Instagram on Saturday.
‘Hey guys we’re stuck on this elevator. I could use a Wolverine. I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone,’ Garner, 52, shared in the first of seven Instagram selfies clips.
‘Yea, we’re looking for some stairs,’ she added with a bit of worry to her voice.
‘Thanks for having us here. My first Comic-Con,’ she said with a bit of sarcasm to end the first clip.
One day after attending a panel during her first-ever Comic-Con for her reprisal of Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine, Jennifer Garner found herself stuck in an elevator at the Hard Rock San Diego with several others
Sitting down and crouched in the corner of the elevator, Garner provided fans with a follow-up she began to remark on how ‘toasty’ it was inside the small enclosed area.
‘Don’t cut the blue wire is what we’re hearing,’ she joked to the camera.
Later on, Garner explained that she heard it was better to sit in a broken down elevator, claiming she heard that possibly ‘in an episode of The Office or Brooklyn Nine-Nine.’
By the time they had been stuck in the elevator for just over 40 minutes, Garner began to lead a chant of 99 Bottles Of Beer, and within a few more minutes one of the other people in the elevator was able to call 9-1-1.
‘A few minutes later she whispered: ‘We’re 45 minutes in. We’re calling 9-1-1,’ and then panned to people with their cell phones out, which were said to be part of her team, with the exception of the elevator attendant.
‘I thought we were in Vegas,’ she whispered when someone said they were in San Diego.
At the one hour point, the lights inside the elevator started to blink and then come back on, all while the Once Upon A Farm co-owner started singing Madonna’s hit song Like A Prayer with her hands clasped in the prayer position.

Garner also went into promo mode for Deadpool & Wolverine in another Instagram post
Garner played Elektra for the first time alongside Ben Affleck in Daredevil (2003), who she would marry two years later, but ultimately divorce in 2018
Ultimately, the ordeal came to an end when first responders arrived and got the elevator doors open at 1 hour and 12 minutes, which elicited an excited look from Garner, whose eyes got wide as everyone began to cheer.
The mother of three, whom she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck, reprised the role of her Marvel character Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine for the first time in nearly 20 years since she starred in Elektra (2005).
She had originally played the heroine in Daredevil (2003), opposite of Affleck, whom she jokes about in the new film, according to People.
Deadpool & Wolverine premiered in theaters in the UK on July 22, and then the U.S. on July 26.
