Jennifer Garner first played the assassin in 2003’s Daredevil alongside Ben Affleck. She then went on to headline her own movie Elektra in 2005. At the time Garner was one of few women to lead a studio comic book film. Her performance was lauded but it achieved only mild box-office takings, only just breaking even.

She has also recently starred alongside Reynolds in Netflix’s The Adam Project.
