In a sit-down interview with Glamour, Garner reflected on her most iconic looks in movies. This included her role as Elektra.
“I had so many chicken cutlet fake boobs in to make Elektra’s boobs,” said Garner of the Elektra wardrobe malfunction risks. “I think there were like three on each side of different sizes, and everything was pushed up and out.”
“I was just this close to a wardrobe malfunction at all times,” revealed Garner. “There’s not enough tape in the world to make this stuff safe.”
Directed by Mark Steven Johnson, Daredevil was released in 2003 to a mixed response, although the acting performances received praise. It would ultimately make $179 million on a $78 million budget, paving the way for Elektra to come out in 2005. However, despite a strong performance by Garner, the spin-off movie was a failure as it only brought in $57 million against a budget that was between $43-65 million.
