Jennifer Garner jokes about her divorce from Ben Affleck in the new “Deadpool & Wolverine” movie.
The actress, 52, reprises her role as Elektra from the former couple’s 2003 movie “Daredevil” in the third installment of the Marvel franchise, which premiered Friday.
In the scene, Elektra helps Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, and Wolverine, portrayed by Hugh Jackman, hide from Emma Corrin’s character, Cassandra.

Elektra tells the superheroes that someone “always dies” when they spar with Cassandra and her band of villains, noting how Daredevil (Affleck) was one of her victims.
Deadpool then offers his condolences to Elektra, to which she savagely replies with a shrug, “It’s fine.”

This is not the first time Garner has reprised her role as the knife-wielding assassin. In 2005, she portrayed her character in the “Daredevil” spinoff “Elektra.”
The film was famously a flop, grossing just $57 million against a production budget of $43 to 65 million.
