    Warning: This article does contain spoilers for “Deadpool & Wolverine”

    Jennifer Garner attended the famous San Diego Comic-Con for the first time this year but almost didn’t make it thanks to a stuck elevator.

    The actress, who was on hand to support her cameo role in “Deadpool and Wolverine,” shared a series of videos documenting the ordeal on her Instagram, with the caption, “Baby’s first Comic Con: a short story.”

    Starting off at two minutes into being stuck, Garner said, “Hey guys, we’re stuck on this elevator. I need, um, I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone.”

    Another person mentioned looking for stairs, and Garner agreed before initially signing off with, “Thanks for having us here. My first Comic Con. Bye for now!”

    The next video showed Garner eleven minutes in, when she said she was getting “toasty” and “shvitzing” aka sweating, joking, “I need to blot.”

    By forty-five minutes, she was singing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall,” while someone on her team called to explain they were stuck on the “f—king” elevator.

    At the one-hour mark, they heard noise and beeping, hopefully indicating something was being fixed. Garner started to quietly sing Madonna’s “Like A Prayer,” which features prominently in “Deadpool and Wolverine.”

    While it is unclear exactly when the elevator mess took place, Garner did make it to the Hall H screening on Thursday night for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

    Garner’s role in the film had been kept well under wraps until the film’s release, until she and other stars like Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, and Wesley Snipes appeared on stage following the screening to talk about their cameos.

    The 52-year-old reprised her role of Elektra, from the 2003 film “Daredevil,” co-starring her ex-husband Ben Affleck , as well as that film’s solo spin-off, “Elektra.”

    In “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Garner gets in a joke about Affleck, who she was married to from 2005 to 2018.

    When Reynolds’ character Deadpool learns that some previous Marel characters in the story didn’t survive, including Affleck’s rendition of superhero Daredevil, he offers his condolences, to which Garner’s Elektra shrugs and says, “Oh, it’s fine.”

    The one-time couple share three children, Violet , Seraphina, and Samuel, and despite the joke, have maintained a friendship and amicable co-parenting relationship over the years.
