We talked to SheHulk's on-set reference Malia_Arrayah about smashing stereotypes on the Disney+ series (Exclusive):

Last week brought the season finale of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe series to hit the Disney+ streaming service. The show recounted the origin story of Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk , an ordinary lawyer whose life is forever changed when she gets gamma-infused superpowers, which allow her to turn into a 6'5" superhero.

prevnext Premiere Going back a little bit, I know you were at the premiere. I was at the premiere. What was that experience like for you? I'll give the long story short. For me, I'm so tall — I didn't realize that there was agencies, like a boutique agency that would be specific for very tall people and for extreme height actors. Somebody on my Facebook actually sent me a message — he's 6'7", and [he said]"Hey, you should check out this agency and send in your information.

I did, actually. I started to read some of the very first comics that came out. I wanted to know, at least, the history of her character, and what she's all about and how she came to be. Very, very cool. Very cool. I never read a lot of comics growing up, but I was very big into characters and these kind of comic book characters onscreen.

She would do the scenes, and then it would be my turn to go and do what she basically did, movement-wise. Whether she was sitting, walking, standing, I would do the same thing and try to watch. They would have me at a certain point just sitting as close as I could to the monitor and to where they were filming, so I could watch and see exactly what her movements were.

The most challenging scene, I think from my experience there, was the Lilypad. Because we were on location — I can't remember the exact month, but it was a really hot week. And we were there for 18 hours a day. That's when I really felt like a working actress. I was like,"Wow, this is what it's like!" Because not only were we doing that, but I had the green makeup on at the time. It was just melting off my face.

prevnext Inspiration You're very vocal on social media about self-acceptance and self-love and beauty standards. How do you hope that this season of She-Hulk turns that tide?
