Deadpool & Wolverine star Jennifer Garner shares her grueling workout regimen to reprise Elektra role in the Marvel blockbuster
As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I can wholeheartedly say that Jennifer Garner‘s dedication to getting “Marvel fit” for her Deadpool & Wolverine cameo is nothing short of inspiring. The actress, who has been in the industry for more than two decades, demonstrates time and again that age is just a number when it comes to commitment and discipline.
Jennifer Garner has shared details about the exercises she underwent to achieve a physique suited for Marvel characters like Deadpool and Wolverine in the blockbuster films.
On Monday, the 52-year-old actress, known for playing Elektra in a blockbuster hit, shared her rigorous workout routine with her 16.4 million Instagram followers.
Instead of sharing just any video, she compiled a series of her workout clips into a reel, and mentioned in the caption that prior to accepting the role, she was physically capable but not quite up to the superhero standard set by Marvel.
As a diehard fan and the proud mom of three, I can’t help but reminisce about my old days when I wasn’t just ‘Mom’, but also secretly a ninja in disguise. You see, it’s been quite some time since I last held Elektra’s sais – all the way back in 2004! Oh, the thrill of wielding those weapons, the excitement of living out my action hero fantasies… Ah, the good old days!
She followed a regimen that involved boxing sessions three days a week, cycling workouts on Peloton, and High-Intensity Interval Training exercises (HIIT) as well.
The Alias alumna described the moment the idea for her to make a cameo in the movie was sparked.
She said Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds, who share ‘a crazy artistic kismet,’ ‘gave each other this look they have that can communicate an idea, 20 pages of dialogue, nuclear codes.’
To prepare for the performance, the silver screen icon announced, “My long-time friend and original stunt double, Shaunaduggins, and I have increased our daily training regimen under the guidance of Bethnicely at The Limit Fit. This includes one session each day, along with any additional exercises she assigns for a second workout.”
The gym schedule also included ‘boxing 3x/ week with @flvcothefuture from @matchroomxchurchillgym. . And lots and lots of @onepeloton’s @becsgentry.’
Jennifer reminisced about the summer they dubbed their own little “Superhero Summer,” where they’d spin their sais in the garden and share hearty laughs as they both felt the ache of their aging limbs.
In a more emotional moment, she mentioned: ‘I hadn’t realized Elektra and I required a conclusion, but Shawn and Ryan seemed to think so.’
In my perspective, I’m blessed with numerous talents, yet what truly stands out is my ability to recognize and uplift those around me. This aspect takes the lead in my personal strengths.
Reflecting back on our time filming that cameo, she went on to say: ‘Shauna and I felt like we were in heaven on set with them. I was with my long-time friend Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen, Channing Tatum, and Wesley Snipes.’
In conclusion, the actress from The Adam Project excitedly shared, “Filming that fight sequence was such a blast! It felt surreal to be there with everyone – it was like living in a dream.”
I’m really proud of my friends and feel fortunate to be part of their circle. “Thank you” isn’t quite enough to express my feelings, but for now, it serves as a temporary stand-in while I find the right words.
Garner reposted an upload from Levy, who helmed the film, in her Instagram Stories.

On July 26, Deadpool and Wolverine made their big-screen debuts, raking in a total of $438.3 million worldwide. In the U.S., they collected $205 million, while foreign audiences contributed an additional $233.3 million to their earnings.
After a triumphant debut at cinemas, Hugh Jackman, who boasts an impressive 32.6 million followers on Instagram, expressed his gratitude by stating that ‘Wolverine and Deadpool currently top the global box office charts. A big thank you to each and every one of you!’
Ryan decided to match the trend, expressing on his Instagram Stories, “This is quite tough to absorb, but a big thank you to everyone who went to watch the movie over the weekend… Wow!”
