She-Hulk Writer Says Marvel Blocked Her Plans
According to the head writer,She-Hulk: Attorney at Lawhas been full of mixed mess and reports during its production, with people calling it complicated. Even though it gained enough praise from the critics about the direction of the show, it wasn’t the same case with Marvel. Jessica Gao tried to incorporate that Marvel had other plans for rejecting. She explained:
“There were a lot of characters from the comics– we wanted a lot of the comics for characters for fun situations where we could bring in like a character and think of like funny reasons why they would be in legal trouble. But there were a lot of characters that were from the comics that we couldn’t use either because of a rights issue, or there were a few times where it was because Marvel… all they would say is that they had other plans. And that’s all they would tell us. And then, we tried very, very hard to poke, and prod, and get a little bit more information.”
“Of course, they wouldn’t tell us. But I will say, the one MCU character that really bummed out a lot of the writers in our room that we couldn’t use was Spider-Man and anyone involved around– like in the Spider-Man universe. Because we had so many Spider-Man fans in the room.”
She also revealed that she had been rejected by Marvel three times on previous projects which includes her very first project that she pitched at Marvel,Black Widow.
