So what if her She-Hulk form looks a little airbrushed and soft around the edges? What matters is that her performance comes through, and her performance as She-Hulk is outstanding.
#SHUT IN CAST FULL#
Rather than playing a lot of women sharing the same face, Maslany is tasked with playing one woman who has two very different physicalities, which makes the issue of CGI kinda moot because she’s Tatiana effing Maslany! Marvel could have painted her green, shot her from low angles, given her the full Lou Ferrigno treatment and she’d absolutely make you believe she was 6’7” and could toss the Hulk around like a hackysack.
In She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, Maslany finally returns to a leading role as Jessica Walters, an ambitious lawyer, who also happens to be Bruce Banner’s spunky cousin and a newly hulkified Hulk herself. Tatiana Maslany made it all real.Īll of which is my sideways way of addressing the bad CGI elephant in the room: Forget the CGI. How do you call her the “lead actress” when she was playing almost every character on the show? It was never a question of suspending your disbelief with Orphan Black, because there was no disbelief. Likewise, when Maslany earned an Emmy in 2016 for her performance, it was almost ludicrously insufficient. Obviously, the fans knew intellectually that Maslany played all the characters, but seeing a single solitary Maslany in person brought that reality home in ways that still surprised them. She also played a housewife named Allison, a scientist named Cosima, a madwoman named Helena, an icy manager named Rachel, and more - all clones, all terrifically distinct. Whether fans had just come out of the Orphan Black panel or were lining up at our booth for an autograph signing with the cast, there was one sentiment that was repeated over and over again: “It’s really just… her!” You see, in Orphan Black Maslany played a con artist named Sarah Manning.
Once upon a time ago, I worked in the PR department at BBC America, and the profile reminded me of interactions I had on that convention floor. This week Elle profiled She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany, and they bring up the fan reaction the actress earned when she attended San Diego Comic-Con with her last show Orphan Black.
