Tatiana Maslany, the star of She-Hulk, has provided a hilarious response to the rumors that she had turned down future appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Maslany plays the role of Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk in Marvel Television's She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. While there has been no official announcement about a second season for the show, and it's unclear where She-Hulk will appear in the MCU next, there have been numerous online rumors regarding the matter.
Earlier this week, a scooper named MyTimeToShineHello claimed that "Marvel Studios wanted to use She-Hulk in a big way for Avengers Secret Wars. The problem is that Tatiana Maslany has no interest in working for Disney. If they're unable to convince her to return, the options are to remove the character altogether or recast the role." The Beyond Reporter also claimed that "It seems Tatiana Maslany no longer works for Marvel."
On a recent episode of the Comedy Bang Bang podcast, Maslany addressed these rumors. She said, "Disney has approached me to play She-Hulk again. Guys, I said no. Okay. Because I just did. This is the facts. They're out there. You can read the articles about it. I was really mad at them for letting me sue them for kicking me out of the movie. I was just mad, in general. Woke feminist stuff...I was like, 'How dare you cast a woman in this role [of She-Hulk]? That's disgusting. I'm embarrassed to even be here.'"
Maslany was obviously being sarcastic and making fun of the rumors, which seemed to be based on no facts. She made similar comments on a previous episode of the same podcast when rumors claimed that she was supposed to be in Deadpool & Wolverine but was fired from the project, resulting in a lawsuit, all of which did not seem to be based on any kind of facts.
