ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How far into the development of the series did you join as director and executive producer?
I’m so excited to have been a part of that very collaborative process.
That shouldn’t feel revolutionary but it definitely still does.
How did that influence the show onscreen?
I will be so excited on the day when that is not a big deal.
It was something that every single woman could relate to, any woman, of any age.
How exciting would it be to walk home in the dark and not worry?
We talked a lot about women feeling the need to be polite.
Jennifer Walters doesn’t have to put up with that crap.
I think we can both agree that female rage is much less accepted than male rage.
The level of anger that is accepted by society is different between men and women.
Is she perceived the same way the men are when they’re at level 10?
We really went for it in that regard.
The actors' experience really mirrored the characters' experience in a really fun way.
What are we going to see from that aspect of the show?
We had one on set who was our reference and body double.
How does she dress?
How does she go on a date?
What’s her apartment like?
We really delve into the everyday life of a superhero.
Regarding her size, recently there were rumors that Marvel requested She-Hulk’s muscles be made smaller.
The Hulk is not human proportions.
He’s not human scale.
He is a monster in that way.
And it was really important for us that she still operated on a human scale.
We honestly talked about strength more than aesthetics.
We studied musculature and we studied women athletes who were incredibly strong.
We really leaned towards Olympians rather than bodybuilders.
That’s where a lot of our body references came from, very strong Olympic athletes.
She was doing it way beforeFleabagorDeadpool.
She was doing it back in 1980.
All I can say is it’s a huge part of the comics and we honor the comics.
Does the season finale set up a potential second season?
Will we see Jennifer Walters return in the future?
Only Kevin Feige can answer that question.
There is definitely the possibility of having a second season.
There’s also the possibility of the character joining the other characters in the movies.
I have no idea.
