I’m proud of my friends and grateful to be up there with them. Thank you doesn’t cut it, guys, but it’s a good placeholder until I figure out what does,” she said.<\/p>\n The actor, 52, also thanked \u201cold pal\u201d Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen, Channing Tatum, and Wesley Snipes.\u00a0Garner’s Elektra Natchios, a trained martial artist, first appeared in 2003’s Daredevil<\/em>.
