A still-smiling Jennifer Garner turned an unexpected situation into a Comic-Con moment that lightened up the mood with a dosage of trademark optimism.

The Elevator Mishap:

She appeared at this year’s Comic-Con, held at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, California, to tout the upcoming “Deadpool & Wolverine” film, in which she will reprise one of her most famous roles: Elektra. As she was getting ready to appear for a panel discussion with fellow costars, Garner and a few other guests became trapped in an elevator.

The Social Media Update:

Taking it all in stride, Garner took to social media to share her experience. Her posts were captioned light-heartedly, with one reading, “Baby’s first Comic Con: a short story.”

High-lights of Garner’s Social Media Posts:

• First Reaction: The first video was light-hearted in nature, with Garner expressing her predicament, saying, “I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool, I could use someone,” then she put in a giggle to lighten the statement. She thanked her followers and remarked that it had been very unusual for her to do her first Comic-Con.
• Temperature Check: As the minutes dragged on, Garner joked about the increasing elevator temperature. “It’s toasty,” she said, smiling. “I’m sphitzy. I need to blot.”
• Elevator Entertainment: Making the best of things, Garner relied on her pop culture background to keep herself and the other passengers amused. She remembered advice from either “The Office” or “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and got everyone singing a rendition of “99 Bottles of Beer” to pass the time.

Rescue and Response:

After about 40 minutes since they were trapped, Garner and everyone else within the elevator remained in good spirits. A bit flustered but still filled with her lust for life and sense of humor, it showed on her face. That was when they called 911 that it became serious. Fortunately, first responders arrived after an hour and 12 minutes and opened the elevator doors. When it opened, Garner and others have been met with an applause upon exit.

Success at Comic-Con Panel:

Notwithstanding the delay, Garner made it to her scheduled panel discussion where she kept smiling all through the event. She could be light, cheerful, and positive, which definitely puts across one of the better sides of her personality.

A True Marvel of Positivity:

Jennifer Garner’s case at Comic-Con proved she can smile, even if everything goes wrong.
