‘She-Hulk’ star: There’s a ‘weird obsession’ with female Marvel heroes’ bodies
Disney+ Thursday, addressed pop culture’s infatuation with heroes being super muscular, telling Entertainment Tonight she loves “She-Hulk” because “she represents a different body and a different perception from the outside.”“I think that there’s a cultural obsession with the certain physique that goes along with these movies sometimes,” Maslany, who plays lawyer and She-Hulk herself Jennifer Walters, said. “I certainly fell prey to that idea, and I definitely don’t think it’s a thing that we should be pursuing because it’s just these weird standards that none of us can actually keep up with unless we’re going to the gym 1,000 times a week.”The 36-year-old, who has appeared in “Orphan Black” and “Parks and Recreation,” said that she loves her character since “how people see her is so much a part of her story.”“That to me is really exciting conversation that can happen around this, which is: How do we look at someone differently depending on the body that they inhabit?” she said.
