She-Hulk's about to come crashing and smashing her way in𝓡to the MCU. Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany plays the eponymous hero, who handles superhuman cases at her law firm. Oh, and she happens to be the cousin of Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner. Just like in the comics, Jennifer Walters gets a blood transfusion from Bruce and develops a more controllable subset of his Hulk powers which she has to integrate into her everyday existence.
However, rather than do another series about someone with superpowers battling evil, head writer Jessica Gao wanted to focus on what it means to be a thirty-something who suddenly ends up with powers. "She’s this highly educated woman whose life gets completely thrown off track," Gao says while talking to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine for the new issue, .
"I really wanted her to have a well-rounded life," she continues. "I didn’t want to justꦗ have a show that was talking about superhero stuff only. She’s a person first and then she had superpowers dumped on top of her. But there’s still a person under there who still has to live a life. Really, that is the crux of the show: this person that’s underneath all of that."
As a result, the tone of the show is different from what we have seen before in the Marvel universe. "It’s really🙈 threading a fine line between situational comedy – and there is a sitc൲om element as a lot of the writers come from the sitcom world – but still existing within the MCU," she explains. "That was always the challenge. Even Kevin [Feige] has described it as a half-hour legal show, so there’s a little bit of Ally McBeal in there. But you also still have to feel like you’re within this universe."
Gao says that including Walters’ family in the e🌺nsemble helped keep the story intimate and centred on her life. "What is the family dynaไmic when you have a Hulk, and when you have a second Hulk in the family?" Gao asks.
