Jennifer Garner stuns in a red off-the-shoulder mini dress as she larks around with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman at Deadpool & Wolverine panel during Comic-Con

Jennifer Garner stunned in an off-the-shoulder mini dress as she joined her co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman at the 2024 Comic-Con International. 

The actress, 52, who stars alongside the actors in Deadpool & Wolverine gave Hugh, 55, a hug while Ryan, 47, spoke on stage at San Diego Convention Center. 

For the event, she looked incredible in the dress dress which she paired with some strappy black heels. 

The Marvel film, which was released on Friday, sees Jennifer as Elektra Natchios while Ryan, 47, reprises his role as Deadpool and Hugh, 55, as Wolverine. 

They were joined by Emma Corrin, who wore an edgy leather dress, and the film's director Shawn Levy, who embraced Ryan and Hugh on the red carpet.

Ryan took the stage in a short-sleeved pink button down shirt and forest green pants for the panel in Hall H.

He was joined by Hugh, who rocked a white t-shirt, blue jacket and blue pants for the event.

Jennifer originally took on the role of Elektra, an anti-heroine assassin, in 2003's Daredevil.

That movie also starred Garner's ex-husband Ben Affleck as the Man Without Fear.

The film didn't stick with audiences, but birthed a spinoff two years later, with Jennifer carrying the lead role.

It was not a box office hit, but was considered a big deal at the time, as the star was one of the first female actors to lead a comic book movie.

Jennifer's casting in the third Deadpool instalment gives reason to believe that the film will involve a multiverse perspective.

While thousands of fans greeted them in San Diego, millions of fans were taking advantage of Thursday preview screenings, in what could be record-breaking.

Early reports claim that the Thursday night preview grosses could end up coming in at anywhere between $35 and $40 million, which would be a record for an R-rated film, via Deadline.

The superhero sequel had been projected to debut between $160 million and $170 million... but now it could be closer to $200 million, a first for an R-rated movie.

The Deadpool & Wolverine stars were joined by their co-star Dafne Keen, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and director Shawn, who had a surprise for fans.

Instead of a traditional panel were bits and pieces of footage were shown, the panel was actually a secret early screening of the entire film.

After the screening, Feige said it was, 'the best movie experience of my entire life,' giving the stars and filmmakers an inkling of what to expect when fans flood theaters this weekend, which could in fact become historic.

While we won't know until the official numbers come in on Friday, an early Deadline report claims the Thursday sneak preview grosses are upwards of $35 million, and possibly even as much as $40 million.

That would be roughly double the previous record-holder for an R-rated movie, this film's predecessor, 2018's Deadpool 2, which took in $18.6 million.

It's still nowhere close to the overall record for Thursday sneak peeks - $60 million by 2019's Avengers: Endgame - but it would be in the top 9 overall if it's over $31 million.

The new Thursday night projection would be on par with the 2022 Marvel sequel Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, which earned $36 million from Thursday previews en route to a $187.4 million opening weekend.

Marvel's 2018 blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War took in $39 million on Thursday before a massive $257.6 million debut.

How Deadpool & Wolverine's Thursday haul will shape its opening weekend remains to be seen, though it's already earned much praise from critics.

A number of people who attended early screenings took to social media on Monday to voice their opinions on the latest release in the MCU. (Rotten Tomatoes previews are forthcoming for the movie, which arrives in theaters later this week.)

The motion picture looks to revive the brand amid disappointing returns last year on movies such as The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

David Thompson of The Direct said that Reynolds and Jackman 'as these icons is INCREDIBLE' and that the film is the MCU's 'funniest' and 'goriest' motion picture.

Thompson added: 'It’s not perfect, but it’s a thrilling theatrical experience & a step in the right direction for Marvel.'
