Became "Elektra"
Jennifer Garner (52): Mega workout for “Deadpool”
Actors who take on superhero roles have to undergo intensive physical preparation in order to fulfill the demanding requirements of these roles. Jennifer Garner (52), for example, completed a mega workout to become Elektra Natchios for "Deadpool".
Playing a Marvel superhero requires not only acting talent, but also impressive physical fitness in order to credibly master the physical challenges and stunts.
Preparation often begins months before filming and involves a rigorous training program that includes strength training, endurance training and specialized combat techniques. Actresses such as Scarlett Johansson, who plays "Black Widow", and Brie Larson, known as "Captain Marvel", have undergone impressive physical transformations to authentically portray their roles.
Pump(kin) it up
Jennifer Garner has now shown how such a transformation takes place in a compilation (see above) of her workouts: with dedication, sweat, probably a few tears and even pumpkins, which she used as dumbbells.
"I was fit, but not Marvel-fit"
"Aside from trying to convince my kids' preschool classmates that I was secretly a ninja, I hadn't picked up a Sais since 2004. I was fit, but not Marvel-fit," she wrote about the video.
The cornerstones of the varied and tough workout were high-intensity interval training, boxing and running. She often laughed with her team about her "aching old body". But this "impossible dream" of becoming "Elektra" was to become a reality.
Commitment that paid off: "It was so much fun filming the fight and being with everyone - it really was like a dream. I'm proud of my friends and grateful that I was able to do it. Thank you is not enough."
