Jennifer Garner Gets Stuck in Elevator for Over an Hour at First Comic-Con

Written by on July 29, 2024

Jennifer Garner’s first time at San Diego Comic-Con was definitely memorable — although not entirely in a good way.

The actress took to Instagram on Saturday to document her experience getting stuck in an elevator in the San Diego Convention Center, and the actress seemed in high spirits as she shared a series of videos from her adventure — which lasted well over an hour.

In the first clip, which was from 2 minutes into the ordeal, Garner addressed her camera and joked, “I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone…”

Garner went on to share that, at 11 minutes in, it was already starting to get “toasty” and they were working on ways to get the elevator car moving again.

“I think I heard on an episode of The Office or Brooklyn Nine-Nine or something that you’re supposed to sit,” a seated Garner said, at a clip shot 35 minutes after the elevator stopped. “So we’re sitting.”

Soon after, everyone in the car was singing “99 bottles of beer on the wall to pass the time” until they decided to escalate the emergency response.

“We’re 45 minutes in, and we’re calling 9-1-1,” Garner shared.

Finally, in a clip shot at 1 hour and 12 minutes into the situation, noises and banging could be heard coming from the doors, and they were finally freed by firemen who arrived to rescue them all.

“Baby’s first Comic Con: a short story,” Garner captioned the post.
