'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law': Why The Female Superhero's Experiences Will Be Different Than Hulk
"She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" director Kat Coiro has opened up about the female superhero's journey and how it is going to be different than her male counterpart.
Coiro, who also serves as an executive producer on the show, revealed that She-Hulk will have different experiences on physical and mental levels compared to Hulk because of their genders.
However, the director also shared that the dynamic of She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters (played by actress Tatiana Maslany), with Hulk, aka Bruce Banner (played by actor Mark Ruffalo), was one of her favorite parts in the series.
"Bruce and Jennifer's dynamic is honestly one of my favorite parts of the series because he comes into it having gone through this very personal journey," Coiro told EW. "And he has a predisposed idea that her experience is going to be exactly the same as his and that he has a lot to teach her."
However, Hulk quickly realizes that their experiences are different.
"And very quickly, it becomes clear that her experience is going to be very different, both physically, literally, and mentally because of how they have operated differently in the world as men and women," the director said. "I love watching Bruce get completely thrown off his game of thinking that he's the teacher and realizing that very quickly, she has things to teach him."
Aside from their on-screen characters, the director noted how their dynamics were reflected in Ruffalo and Maslany's careers as well, noting that Ruffalo had been portraying Hulk's character for over a decade, while Maslany was playing it for the first time.
"The actors' experience really mirrored the characters' experience in a really fun way," she added.
She-Hulk's character was first introduced in the 1992 comic book "Ravage 2099." The character has never appeared in any live-action movie and fans have been eagerly waiting to watch this highly anticipated series.
"She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" is slated to release on Aug. 18. It will stream on Disney+. The series will also feature Jameela Jamil, Ginger Gonzaga, Tim Roth, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Benedict Wong.
