If Jennifer Garner had it her own way, we'd never have found out that she didn't think much of 'Elektra,' and didn't enjoy playing her. As a model professional, she never publicly said anything about it. Her ex-boyfriend Michael Vartan, however, had other ideas. Apparently feeling it was his place to dish the dirt on his ex-partner, he once told an interviewer that he'd never even watched the film, and didn't have any urge to do so because of what Garner told him about it.
According to Vartan's account, Garner regularly called him from the set and told him that the film was 'awful,' and that she hated making it. Garner never auditioned for the part or went looking for it; apparently, she was contractually obligated to do it under the terms of her contract for 'Daredevil.'
