Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you as well.
Congratulations on the show.
Thank you. It's great fun.
It's great fun.
I've enjoyed talking to you guys about this.
It's is really good fun.
Tell me first and foremost, what's it like to be the best friend of She-Hulk?
Because that's, you know, is it a tough gig?
Is it an easy gig? Yes,
I think I'm very privileged.
Like I get access to all the cool perks, but I don't actually have to be in,
you know, the line of fire.
I don't have to I don't have to fight any of the crime.
But I do get any free hair products that She-Hulk would get.
You know,
I'm like the best friend of a celebrity that just gets all the cool stuff.
Yeah,
I enjoy that.
You must get some of the spandex as well, right?
It must be like, Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I can drop her name and get access into whatever I want.
I'm friends with She-Hulk, as you might be an Avenger.
All the things. I think I'm pretty cool.
So yeah, naked definitely takes advantage of all of that.
Yeah, I
when you were, I mean, when, when you, when you were first pitched the show,
what was the thing that kind of stood out for you
different to, you know, in terms of the Marvel Universe as we know it?
Why did the show kind of stick out for you going into it?
Well, it was still really secretive.
Even when you audition, you know, it's just you just
I knew it was She-Hulk and I got the the the audition stuff.
And then I, I, you know, we didn't get that much info,
but I had just seen Wandavision, which I didn't even realize.
Jac Schaeffer who I know wrote and I was so impressed by Wandavision.
And then once we got like our first batch of scripts, I was like, Oh, cool.
Marvel's continuing to just next level themselves, you know?
That's what I love about Marvel.
They're, they're, they're brave and they're always kind of,
you know, Wandavision was so creative and such a treat for me to watch, you know?
So I was so impressed by it.
And then so they're constantly kind of just evolving and finding like other ways
to heighten the comic books or to interpret the comic books.
So it was, it was mostly that and that we were going to be so comedic.
You know, that's I do so much comedy and and the comics are always funny.
And I really love the way Taika Waititi directs, you know?
So it was cool to think that they were going to kind of double down on that for
for our show.
It was rad.
Yeah, I was just talking to Jessica Gao and she said that cast and Tatiana Maslany,
it was almost felt like cheating to them, like they got the perfect person
and it felt like she echoed those sentiments.
Having worked right now that she is the perfect person to play this role.
I do.
I really I it had to be her. It's so odd.
There are certain people
where you're like, I was just saying that there is.
There is.
First of all, she's a brilliant actor
and she would seamlessly move from Jennifer Walters to She-Hulk.
But but I, I, I would always tell Tatiana there was always a moment in every scene.
It was like a game for myself to watch it,
where she would do this thing, do something, a physical thing, a smile,
a resting her head, where I could really see like the comic book.
I could see the way
that they drew her back in the day, you know, and and so it was like
it was so wild to watch an actor kind of like, like, like do that.
But she's it.
It is.
She's such a she's an amazing actor who can roll with all the punches.
She can do comedy.
She can she can play so many different things.
But I really can't
like I was thinking about it last night, like it just had to be Tatiana.
Like she's meant to be She-Hulk,
and she's also so amazing, like, so I want her to have this power,
you know, as an actor and as a super, as superhuman.
Yeah. And you got to have happen.
You got she has some some fantastic scenes was that
I can imagine it was a very easy chemistry to like
and instant friendship like yeah the wild is like such a blessing.
Like even from our we did a chemistry where they test our chemistry
read on Zoom, which just seems so silly, you know, it seems very difficult,
but we had so much fun on it and we were actually gabbing in
between the scenes, so much so that the director had to be like,
okay, okay, okay, you know, and immediately give us an audition.
We were like, Oh my God, tell me about your blushing.
I love that you did this.
And we're like instantly just kind of talking.
But yeah, the very first thing that we ever did
was the two of us together as friends.
And we were we were riffing a bunch and just being very natural, which,
which is what I love.
That's also what I love about Marvel is, you know, Tatiana and I are very like
natural actors, but we're in this goofy world.
But in all of the Marvel verse,
you always have like really good actors still still like killing it.
It's not it's not out of it.
Doesn't get it.
Doesn't get,
you know, for as silly
as we are, like the performances are still very honest and real.
And so I don't know, it was
it is just such magic, like our chemistry and and I love her so much.
I'm so happy to collect her as a friend. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, it was a blast to watch.
So I congratulate the guys. I think guys really well.
Yeah. Thanks so much for your time. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
