She rules Sunday nights as Sidney Bristol in ABC's 'Alias,' but she's about to rule Ben Affleck's world-again. Jennifer Garner, who supported Affleck in Pearl Harbor, gets the promotion to lead as Elektra in the upcoming comic book adaptation Daredevil.

The highly coveted role places Garner opposite of Affleck's Matt Murdock/Daredevil as his love interest/antagonist. As she's an assassin-for-hire and he's an attorney, the two tend to cross paths in more ways than one.
