The actress attended the event to celebrate her cameo on Deadpool & Wolverine, in which she reprised her role as Marvel superhero Elektra.
During the day, Garner boarded an elevator at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, California, which left her stuck alongside other people. Garner documented the dilemma in a series of videos she shared on Instagram.
“Hey guys, um, we’re stuck on this elevator,” Garner said in the first video. “I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone.”
The following clip was 11 minutes into being trapped in the elevator and she said, “It’s toasty. I’m sphitzy, I need to blot.”
“Don’t cut the blue wire is what we’re hearing,” Garner joked as she made the best of the situation.
In the next update at 35 minutes, Garner sat on the floor and said, “I think I heard on an episode of The Office or Brooklyn Nine-Nine or something that you’re supposed to sit. So we’re sitting.”
At the 41-minute mark, Garner sang “99 Bottles of Beer.” In the next video, at 45 minutes, Garner shared that they called 911 to get help.
The saga continued well into an hour, and Garner shared that the lights were back on. She started to sing Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” which is a song featured in the Marvel film Deadpool & Wolverine.
Garner had a happy ending after real-life superheroes came to the rescue. After an hour and 12 minutes, firefighters pried open the elevator doors, which led everyone to cheer about finally being rescued.
The comments were lit, and many celebrities left messages in Garner’s post.
“Terrifying,” Nathan Fillion posted.

Gina Torres wrote, “OMG! Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there! Always pray to Madonna!”
