Jennifer Garner in “Elektra”
Jennifer Garner celebrated as one of the most endearing actresses of her era, harbors a distinct lack of fondness for one particular role that has otherwise cemented its iconic status. While Garner has not publicly voiced her grievances, her ex-boyfriend and cherished former “Alias” co-star, Michael Vartan, actively shared insights into her true feelings. Vartan disclosed that Garner despised her involvement in the superhero movie “Elektra,” a sentiment she felt compelled to endure rather than choose.
The revelation came during an interview with Us Weekly, where Vartan recounted a conversation with Garner about the movie’s disappointing outcome. “I heard it was awful,” he relayed, adding, “She called me and told me it was awful.” The obligation to reprise her role from “Daredevil” into “Elektra” was not a matter of choice. Still, a contractual commitment underscores the complexities and often involuntary decisions actors sometimes face in their careers.
