is finally joining the MCU as one of the most powerful female heroes in the comic universe – and yet, it’s the humanity of Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, that she finds most relatable.
During “She-Hulk’s” virtual press conference, the actress pointed out that Jen’s “hyperawareness” of the viewing audience is another kind of superpower for her, but it’s obviously her Hulk powers that set her apart – which she contracts when she comes in contact with her cousin, Bruce Banner’s , gamma-radiated blood.
Unsurprisingly, that’s something the actress can also relate to in the real world. With the announcement of any female-fronted comic book property comes the online commentary from a fandom that can be… less than welcoming, at times. Maslany shared during the press conference that she and the show’s cast and creators have already felt the “visceral response to a woman superhero” from the online community.
“I think Jessica [Gao, “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” creator] knew that as soon as there’s a female superhero, there’s so much commentary,” Maslany notes. “She foresaw what was gonna happen when this show came out, and so with the meta elements of this show and Jessica’s ability to foresee how it would be received, it’s exactly right in the pocket of ‘She-Hulk’.”
One of the series’ great meta moments in the early episodes comes when Jen promises to the audience that the show won’t be one big MCU cameo fest – well, except for Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Smart Hulk, who is on hand to train her in all things Hulk. Oh, and Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, aka Abomination. And Benedict Wong, as Sorcerer Supreme Wong, who turns up needing legal help of his own.
While the pair mostly spend time on Jen’s She-Hulk persona, Maslany also joked that, of all the MCU characters, she would love to see Jen defend Bruce in court.
