The creator of “She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk” explains the final goal and how Kevin Feige helped

SPOILER attention!

“She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka” wrapped up Thursday, October 13, airing its first season on Disney + and left us with our jaws on the ground with the craziest ending of a Marvel Studios production. Here we are already talking about the implications it could have on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and here we analyze what these nine chapters were overall, today we bring you the words of its creator, Jessica Gao, who in an interview with Deadline talked about her cameo, how the meta-idea was conceived and how it helped Kevin Feig.

“It was a long journey to get to that point”Gao explains, “I must have written about 20 versions of an ending, because when we got there I thought very badly, ‘I have to have fun. We have to do something different. I have to do the Marvel ending. Marvel does things a certain way, you know, they follow certain rhythms, and this is where I have to start queuing up and doing it like this. ” This is really what I thought. Nobody told me that way, but it was just what I thought. So I tried to live up to it and did a lot of different versions of what a typical Marvel ending would be and none of them worked. It was Kevin, the human Kevin, who said, “There’s no reason to do it. Why try to force it when it’s not what it should be?” it must be? This isn’t a Marvel movie, so why are you trying to finish a Marvel movie when it’s not what it is? This series was completely different from the start. This series is completely different from anything we’ve done before. ” It was so liberating that it not only gave me permission, but it encouraged me, it really pushed me to keep doing something different. That’s why it’s so good to work with the human Kevin, because he’s open to things like that. ” And what is a typical Marvel ending you might ask for, Gao sums it up like this: “The revelation of a big bad villain; a conspiracy that comes to light; and then a big action-packed fight in which the hero beats the bad guy.”

If you’ve seen the episode before, you know that this is NOT what happens in “She-Hulk”, but that Jennifer Walters will meet an AI named KEVIN who is responsible for all that is good and bad about Marvel and that makes thousands of documents sign confidentiality agreements. At least the latter is based on very real events and one more very real thing (besides the huge number of meta references and comments on that scene) She is the same showrunner, who to her great chagrin appears briefly in the chapter. At around minute 17, She-Hulk enters the writers room for her show and in the background on the left is Gao herself: “I was dragged into the cameo kicking and screaming because I didn’t initially plan to go out.”says the showrunner, “We picked an actress to play writer Jessica. But the night before we realized we needed more background extras and as we were shooting during the heyday of COVID, we wouldn’t have enough time to audition for the. next day. So I jumped in. “

Keep on?

As for the romance with Daredevil, Gao explains that they haven’t pulled it out of their sleeve, that in the comics both characters are friends and doesn’t rule out that we’ll see more of this relationship in the future: “The moment we realized we could use Daredevil, we were like, ‘Well, obviously they have to roll up. It is the perfect companion for her. She is someone who understands her uniquely and is attractive and incredibly charming. This is the rare person who understands the exact situation she is in, how to balance being a lawyer during the day and then a superhero off work. And luckily, Charlie Cox and Tatiana also had an incredible chemistry. ”

Although it has not been confirmed that there will be a second season of “Abogada Hulka” nor that Tatiana Maslany will walk “Daredevil: Born Again”, Gao states this “If these two busy people who have a lot to do in their life want it to work, I’m sure they can find a way to do it,” she says of Jennifer and Matt Murdock.

In case Disney doesn’t renew She-Hulk, Gao deliberately chose this ending to function as a total ending: “I’ve been writing for television for a long time and you can never be sure you’ll get another season, especially if you’re in your first one. That’s why the prudent thing for a writer working on a series in its first season is to tell a full story. and satisfying, so that, if it ends like this, it seems to have told a whole, but leaving a door open. You know, six seasons and a movie. “, he jokes, winking at ‘Community’. Whether or not he follows the best green lawyer on television, Gao has other projects on his hands, such as an untitled ABC movie, wrote episodes of the animated series ‘Star Wars: Detours’, and wrote the script for a new movie with Jack. Black directed by Kitao Sakurai.
