<p>"Hey guys, we're stuck on this elevator," Garner said in her initial video.</p>
<p>"I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone." Her lighthearted approach provided some levity during the ordeal.</p>
<p>By the 11-minute mark, Garner commented on the conditions inside the elevator, "It's toasty. I'm sphitzy; I need to blot."</p>
<p>She joked about the situation, saying, "Don't cut the blue wire is what we're hearing," making the best of the confined circumstances.</p>
<p>At 35 minutes into the episode, Garner, who had taken to sitting on the floor, referenced popular culture with, "I think I heard on an episode of The Office or Brooklyn Nine-Nine or something that you're supposed to sit. So we're sitting."</p>
<p>The situation grew more intense as the minutes passed. At 41 minutes, Garner sang "99 Bottles of Beer" to keep spirits up.</p>
<p>When the 45-minute mark arrived, she revealed that 911 had been called for assistance, according to the report.</p>
<p>The ordeal continued for over an hour, during which Garner serenaded her fellow passengers with Madonna's "Like a Prayer," a nod to the film she was there to promote. The song choice added a touch of humour and camaraderie to the tense situation.</p>
<p>The rescue finally came after an hour and 12 minutes when firefighters managed to pry open the elevator doors.</p>
<p>The moment of freedom was met with cheers from those trapped inside.</p>
<p>Garner's Instagram post about the incident attracted a flood of supportive and amusing comments from celebrities.</p>
<p>Nathan Fillion described the situation as "Terrifying," while Tracee Ellis Ross commended Garner's calm demeanour with, "Oh my! Well done on staying calm."</p>
<p>Gina Torres humorously added, "OMG! Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there! Always pray to Madonna!"</p>
<p>Gwyneth Paltrow wrote, "Okay, no way oh my god how are you so calm," and Aisha Tyler was simply overwhelmed, saying, "OH MY GOD BEYOND."</p>
<p>'Deadpool and Wolverine' was released on July 26 in theatres.</p>
