#JenniferGarner flexed the intensive, months-long training that got her in physical shape to reprise Elektra in #DeadpoolAndWolverine in an emotional Instagram post Monday.

“I didn’t know that Elektra and I needed an ending, but Shawn and Ryan did,” the actress wrote alongside a video clip of her completing physically daunting task after the next.

Garner began her ode to Elektra’s memorable comeback in the third “Deadpool” feature by remembering how director #ShawnLevy and star #RyanReynolds first drummed up the idea while filming “The Adam Project.”

“They gave each other this look they have that can communicate an idea, 20 pages of dialogue, nuclear codes — there is a crazy artistic kismet between those two,” she said, adding that it had been 20 years since she “picked up Elektra’s sais.”

“I was fit, but not Marvel fit,” Garner said.

She then recounted amping up her training with “bestie and OG stunt double” Shauna Duggins to make “this impossible dream” a reality — a regimen that included boxing three times a week, consistent Peloton exercises, lifting, plyometrics and, of course, twirling sais.

Garner recalled “laughing at our sore old bodies.”
