Deadpool & Wolverine's playful dialogue includes a cheeky nod to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's divorce.
The Alias alum, who announced her split from the Argo director in 2015, makes a cameo in Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's new movie as Elektra, who appeared in 2003’s Daredevil with Affleck before getting her own 2005 eponymous flick.
In the scene, Deadpool (Reynolds) learns that Daredevil (Affleck) has died.
Elektra's reaction? She tells Deadpool, "It's fine."
It's all in good fun though, given Affleck, 51, and Garner, 52, have remained on good terms over the years, especially when it comes to their kids: Violet Affleck, 18, Seraphina Affleck, 15, and Samuel Affleck, 12.
In fact, Affleck's wife Jennifer Lopez even applauded the exes for their relationship, telling Vogue in a 2022 interview that they "work really well together" and called Garner an "amazing coparent."
Affleck and Garner themselves have also publicly supported each other.
"She's just a fabulous person," he said on CBS This Morning in 2016. "She's just a wonderful person. She's a great mother. She's a real talent."
"Life doesn't always turn out exactly the way you want," the Oscar winner added. "We're doing our very best and we're putting our kids first."
And everything outside of family comes second.
As Affleck has noted, Garner has "set such a good example and a lead that I follow. She's somebody that I admire and respect and remain excellent friends with."
Meanwhile, Garner has remained Affleck's biggest fan.
She even gave him a sweet nod for Father's Day 2023, writing on Instagram, "Shout out to BGA—no one loves their kids like you love ours."

When it comes to co-parenting, Jennifer Garner will always maintain a cordial relationship with her ex-husband Ben Affleck for the sake of their children: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.
“It’s not Ben’s job to make me happy," Garner shared in a 2016 Vanity Fair interview. "The main thing is these kids―and we’re completely in line with what we hope for them."
She continued, "Sure, I lost the dream of dancing with my husband at my daughter’s wedding. But you should see their faces when he walks through the door. And if you see your kids love someone so purely and wholly, then you’re going to be friends with that person.”
Though she and Affleck are both successful actors, Garner doesn't want their kids to live inside a Hollywood bubble.
"It's really important for my kids to see that everyone doesn’t have the lives they see in Los Angeles," she told Southern Living. "That doesn’t reflect the rest of the world. I want them to grow up with the Southern values I had―to look at people when they say hello and to stop and smell the roses."
And that's why her parenting style is very hands-on.
“I think teaching your kids anything is a lifelong job and certainly values are something―you can’t just say, ‘Here, have values!’" she previously told E! News. "You have to show them that you have values."
Explaining how setting a good example is the "most important job," the Alias alum added that she and Affleck—who she split with in 2015 after 10 years of marriage—hope that their kids "see and appreciate the work we do."
Of course, there is no one standard way of parenting.
“As much as you think that, ’OK, I’m going to follow what this person says,'" Garner noted during a 2016 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, "it’s not up to you, dude."
Advising parents to "let it go" when it comes to their worries, the 13 Going on 30 star continued, "You’re going to struggle. It’s going to suck—just like for everyone else."
For Garner, the key to maintaining a good structure for her kids is setting up boundaries and rules.
"You just have to do it," she explained to Us Weekly. "It’s not pretty. I don’t think that I’m always the best at it, but I try my best to be consistent and for them to know what they can expect from me."
And when she does experience a roadblock in her parenting journey, Garner believes "every day is a fresh start."
"You always can say, ‘Today, we’re going to try this!'" she told People. "And if it goes horribly, you can say, ‘Today, we’re throwing that out, and we’re trying this!’"
The actress added, "That’s part of what I like about being a mom in general."
Garner's motherhood joy extends into the cinematic universe as well.
"I’m really glad that I’m playing moms," she told Today, "because there’s no more rich time in women’s lives than when you have your babies."
