Marvel has made efforts to expand to new audiences, and “She-Hulk” arrives to appeal to a female audience, with broad participation of women in the production. Olhar Digital caught up with Jessica Gao, executive producer and lead writer of the series, who spoke on the matter.
In addition to being played by a woman – lawyer Jennifer Walters accidentally transformed into a Hulk played by Tatiana Maslany – the series has Jessica Gao as executive producer and lead screenwriter, a position that carries the power of showrunner in the Marvel series for Disney + and living room The screenwriters led by Gao also had a large number of women
The main antagonist of the series is also a woman, Titania, played by Jameela Jamil, and the main director is Kat Coiro, with some episodes directed by Anu Valia.
In our conversation with Gao, she commented on this broad participation of women in “She-Hulk” and her satisfaction at seeing this portrayal of women in Marvel. “It’s really a dream come true, but it also seems like the time has come, you know?” she said.
“I think it should have happened a lot sooner, but I’m glad it’s happening,” he continued. “It is truly an honor to be a part of it. Working with so many different women … For example, it’s so nice to have all these different perspectives, all these different life experiences, different points of view, you know?
Then he broadened the topic, talking about how it generally works in the industry, including Marvel. “Most of the time, or most of the time, what happens is they hire one or two women. And those two women must represent practically half of the population of the whole world and this is a great pressure to put on someone and it is also an impossible task. “
“So it was wonderful to have so many voices so we could really come together, they put everyone in it. And so we were able to create this very complete and real cast of characters and world. “
“She-Hulk” will premiere on Disney + on Thursday, August 18, and will have weekly episodes premieres every Thursday.
