When "Deadpool and Wolverine" opened in July, the cast had what can only be described as a whirlwind, worldwide tour. Leading men Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman quite literally traveled the globe to promote the movie, culminating in one final week that included the film’s World Premiere in New York City, followed by a raucous fan screening of the Marvel sequel in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con. It was during this event that Reynolds and Jackman surprised the crowd by introducing all of the celebrities who have cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine, from Chris Evans (playing The Human Torch) to Wesley Snipes as Blade. What we didn’t know, until now, is that Jennifer Garner missed the entire screening. And here’s why.

Dafne Keen, who returns as X23 in the movie, sat with CinemaBlend to dig into her time on the movie, and her reaction to Channing Tatum’s Gambit accent. When I asked what the mood was like in Hall H as the cast waited backstage for Ryan Reynolds to introduce them, Keen shared a funny story about Jennifer Garner, and her sweet reaction.

00:20And then she arrived like so stressed and I was like, what happened? She was like, I was stuck in
00:26an elevator for an hour. So, she'd been stuck in this elevator for like the whole time we'd been
00:32at all age and she even posted it to Instagram. She did like a little vlog. It's quite funny.
