Jennifer Garner was enjoying her time at Comic-Con San Diego when she found herself stuck in an elevator at the Hard Rock Hotel on Saturday, July 27.

In the first video, recorded just two minutes after getting stuck, Ms Garner addressed her followers, saying, "Hey guys, um, we're stuck on this elevator." She humorously added, "I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool, I could use someone," expressing her wish for a superhero rescue. She also mentioned that she would be taking the stairs in the future.

In the second video, Ms Garner shared that the elevator is, "toasty, I'm sphitzy, I need to blot." 

In the third video, Ms Garner was seen sitting on the elevator floor. She mentioned that she had seen on Brooklyn Nine-Nine or The Office that sitting down was the recommended course of action when stuck in an elevator. 

An hour into their entrapment, the elevator started beeping, and the lights came back on. Ms Garner celebrated by singing Madonna's "Like a Prayer." Finally, at the 1 hour and 12-minute mark, first responders arrived, and the trapped people cheered as they were freed.
