Jennifer Garner will reportedly reprise her role as Marvel Comics' Elektra for Deadpool 3.

On Friday The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the 51-year-old actress — whose lookalike daughter Violet Affleck shocked fans this week — will bring the character back after almost twenty years.

Production for the film is already underway, and Ryan Reynolds, 46, was seen shooting scenes in London this week.

Also reprising a role is 54-year-old Hugh Jackman, who will portray Wolverine once again.

Shawn Levy is helming the upcoming feature, which will star former Twentieth Century Fox characters for the first time since Disney acquired it in 2019, returning the rights to Marvel, according to the site.

Garner originally took on the role of Elektra, an anti-heroine assassin, in 2003's Daredevil.

It was not a box office hit, but was considered a big deal at the time, as the star was one of the first female actors to lead a comic book movie.

Jennifer's casting in the third Deadpool installment gives reason to believe that the film will involve a multiverse perspective.
