Despite her character's giant size and green skin, the actor relates to her. “Anytime I felt like an outsider ... I was like, that's She-Hulk.”
Since adding small-screen stories to its corporate mandate, Marvel Studios has gone in a number of unexpected creative directions. And whileis no stranger to comedic endeavors, “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” is arguably the first real single-camera episodic comedy series it’s produced to date. And the show’s sly wink to the 2001 comedy hit “Legally Blonde” was right up star Tatiana Maslany’s alley.
Set in contemporary Los Angeles, “She-Hulk” centers on Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who gains transformative superhero powers similar to those ofafter an alien attack. Walters doesn’t particularly want her new gifts, but reconsiders after she’s hired by an upscale private law firm to run its fledgling superhero division. Her prospective clients? Super-powered individuals battling one lawsuit or another. The catch? She needs to report to work in her She-Hulk form full-time.
Best known for her Emmy-winning performance in “Orphan Black,” many will be surprised to learn Maslany has been taking comedy improv classes since she was 7. Despite those skills, she continually finds herself cast in dramatic roles. Perhaps that’s one reason, despite her experience, Maslany says she never had a lot of confidence in doing comedy. She notes, “Anytime I felt like an outsider, or I felt like I didn’t belong, or I felt like whatever, I was like, that’s She-Hulk.
“There is something irreverent about it. It’s not precious,” Maslany says. “And the lack of preciousness is immediately a relief and a freeing thing. However, talking to the audience is a very important dynamic. And if it’s not done right, they’re like, ‘We don’t care. We don’t want to talk to you.’ And you’re forging a relationship with a bunch of people you don’t know. It’s a really difficult skill, I think.
