Spoilers for episode three of She-Hulk forward.
You know the way on The Good Place, Jameela Jamil’s character Tahani was at all times name-checking celebrities? Effectively, in enjoying the villainous Titania on She-Hulk, Jamil took a play from her former character’s e book in revealing she is the credit-lording purpose hip-hop celebrity Megan Thee Stallion ended up within the newest episode of Marvel’s Disney+ present She-Hulk.
The rapper truly ended up being a pivotal a part of She-Hulk‘s third outing. In true Megan Thee Stallion trend, she even completed out the episode by twerking with She-Hulk after asking the powered-up lawyer to take her on as a consumer. Channeling her interior Tahani, Jamil posted on Twitter that we’re “all welcome” in reference to ber being liable for Stallion’s look within the episode, particularly the twerking.
You are all welcome! ❤️ I requested her to be within the present and she or he mentioned YES! And She Hulk twerking with Thee Stallion historical past was made. And it was superb. Amen. 👑 https://t.co/kEQH9oXIeE pic.twitter.com/c9Ro2RzLhRSeptember 1, 2022
Showrunner Jessica Gao confirmed it was Jamil who landed the Grammy winner on the Disney+ sequence, as they each co-starred on HBO Max’s Legendary. And thank goodness for this connection, as a result of in any other case we most likely would have by no means seen the precise Megan Thee Stallion within the MCU twerking to her personal music “Physique” reverse Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk.
Gao defined the wild technique of getting Thee Stallion on the present to Shadow and Act, saying:
We went by way of numerous potentialities, however Jamila was the one who truly introduced up Megan When she introduced it up, I imply, we simply all collectively misplaced our minds. And we had been like, ‘Don’t say it if it’s not true…don’t tease us….with our hearts can not deal with this.’ Then we heard that Megan truly loves superhero films and [thought that this] can be actually enjoyable.
Whereas unclear if the musician will return to the MCU, I hope — and I believe the She-Hulk solid hopes — she will probably be again sooner or later. Gao mentioned that Tatiana Maslany is a large fan of the rapper, and likewise loves dancing on set, which made her tremendous excited to convey that specific scene to life.
Megan Thee Stallion’s look in She-Hulk shouldn’t be the primary or the final of the enjoyable cameos and visitor stars that the Marvel sitcom has to supply. It’s additionally simply additional proof that She-Hulk has a humorousness that’s completely distinctive compared to the whole lot else within the MCU.
When the trailer dropped for She-Hulk, it was revealed that Charlie Cox would reprise his position as Daredevil, though he can be a lighter model of Matt Murdock. She-Hulk has additionally offered an area for characters we already know, like Wong and Hulk, to discover their humorous aspect. Between the twerking, Hulk referencing that he has appeared like each Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo, and Wong’s confusion over American regulation, She-Hulk is including a brand new sense of levity and self-awareness to the MCU. (To say nothing of speculating about Captain America’s sexual historical past.) Hopefully, surprises just like the rapper exhibiting up proceed to occur.
Megan Thee Stallion loves She-Hulk saying she is “far more enjoyable” than her final lawyer on the finish of the episode. And I really like Jameela Jamil for bringing this shocking and hilarious bit to life by asking the rapper visitor star. Take a look at what occurs subsequent when new episodes drop each Thursday for Disney+ subscribers.
