Jennifer Garner made her debut at the renowned San Diego Comic Con this year, almost missing the event due to a malfunctioning elevator.
The actress, present to support her cameo in “Deadpool and Wolverine,” shared several videos chronicling the incident on her Instagram, captioned, “Baby’s first Comic Con: a short story.”
Starting her video two minutes into being stuck, Garner said, “Hey guys, we’re stuck on this elevator. I need, um, I could really use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone.”
When another person suggested finding stairs, she agreed, initially signing off with, “Thanks for having us here. My first Comic Con. Bye for now!”

By the time forty-five minutes had passed, she was singing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall,” while someone on her team informed her they were stuck on the “f—king” elevator.
“I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone.”
At the one-hour mark, Garner heard noise and beeping, signaling potential repairs. She began softly singing Madonna’s “Like A Prayer,” a song featured prominently in “Deadpool and Wolverine.”
Finally, after one hour and twelve minutes, firefighters arrived to open the elevator doors, which prompted cheers from both Garner and her team.
