Garner took to social media while inside the elevator, stating, "I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool, I could use someone."
The actress, who played an "assassin-for-hire," also explained that this year's event was her very first Comic-Con. "Thanks for having us here," Garner said in the post, while giggling at the predicament she was in.
"It's toasty, I'm schvitzy, I need to blot," Garner said in a second video posted online, which was recorded about 11 minutes into the scenario.
The situation continued on, with another video showing Garner sitting on the elevator floor after 35 minutes of waiting. "I think I heard on an episode of 'The Office' or 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine,' or something, that you're suppose to sit, so we're sitting," she explained.
After being trapped for more than 40 minutes, Garner took to singing to pass the time. Her song of choice? "99 Bottles of Beer."
When the hour mark finally hit, Garner said the elevator began "beeping" and the lights returned. Another person in the elevator could be heard saying, "Good vibes, everybody, positives." This prompted the actress to go into song once again, this time singing Madonna's
"Like a Prayer," fitting for the situation.
In the final video, those in the elevator could be heard cheering as the doors finally opened after an hour and 12 minutes, with San Diego firefighters on the other side.
"Air!" one person exlaimed.
Despite the hiccup, the Comic-Con fun returned to its normally scheduled programming.
There was no word on what caused the elevator to become stuck.
