Director Kat Coiro has met and greeted a lot at the Marvel Studios office over the years, but when She-Hulk : Lawyer first appeared on the radar in August 681, Korro quickly threw her hat into the ring. After all, she grew up near a comic book store, where she first developed a connection with She-Hulk comics that was later rekindled by her husband ( And She-Hulk actor) Rhys Coiro’s boyhood manga collection.
Coiro, who directed six of the nine episodes in the series and is also an executive producer, knew the Disney+ show would be on
“You can’t have direct chemistry, and…I know the whole opening will work because they both exude a sense of playfulness to each other. It’s that magical Moment made me go, “This series will work,” Coro told The Hollywood Reporter.
In a recent In this conversation with THR, Coiro also discusses the challenges of filming the Hulk character, and her favorite episode.
Then can you tell me your earliest conversation with Marvel?
I’ve met with Marvel in general over the years. I’ve always been a fan of the MCU, so we discussed what would be best for me in this world. When they announced they were doing
She-Hulk, I knew that was the one because I was with She-Hulk. We were In the same year, I always choose things based on character rather than type. So it’s a character that speaks to me and I think she’ll resonate with a lot of people.

You’re peeking behind the scenes at Marvel Studios Did you? Did you go on the Wonka Tour?
Making the whole show was like a Wonka Tour , because it’s quite meta. So we have to really explore the Marvel context, if you will.
(laugh.) Look here Yes I always say: She-Hulk broke the fourth wall before Deadpool Before fleas . So any comparison can end there.
Do you have access to Shang ZhiThe second shot of the second episode Vault?
When Wonka was on tour, a room was just full Shang Zhi lens, we can choose what we want.
because Ellie McBeal at the bar in episode 2 On TV, how many of you actually refer to a legal show like this as your own visual vocabulary? Or just a fun Easter egg?
This is an Easter egg, but I think Ally McBeal and legally Blonde Their comedy, femininity, and color palette all inject something very new into legal drama. A little bit of a subversion of the genre. While we do this in different ways, what definitely inspired me was the idea of taking a very familiar genre and turning it into a head.
Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk/Bruce Banner and Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer “Jen” Walters/ She-Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney . Courtesy Marvel Studios So what did you learn about shooting two Hulks together? When you shoot her-Hulk and him-Hulk together, you have to build a lot of platforms. He-Hulk is 7-foot-6. She – Hulk is 6’7″ tall. So it took a lot of planning and rehearsal to remove the obstacles, because unlike regular scenes where the actors have a certain degree of freedom, once these platforms are set, they have to walk on them. So it’s very important to include actors in rehearsals so that we can develop technical specifications. When she-Hulk interacts with human characters, usually just Tatiana on the platform? yes, it’s just that Tatiana grew up on a platform, but there are examples like walking Said, where the platform cannot be used to draw eyeliner. So in this case, she would wear a stick with a cardboard cutout at the top. It’s really challenging because you have to keep reminding the actor to look at this blank cardboard cutout, not the actor’s eyes. The series starts with asking this question, but in the real world, if someone gains a power like ren, you Do you feel they have a duty to help others? In an altruistic world, my answer is yes, but in the real world, it does It comes down to a personal decision. What’s interesting about Jen is that she’s built a life she’s very proud of, and she doesn’t want it to change. So part of the series is her answering the question: “Am I obligated to help others because I have these powers?” But I like the fact that it’s not an immediate assumption and that she has a certain amount of power over her choices ownership. You can’t direct chemistry while Mark [Ruffalo] and Tatiana are on set for the first time The day of the interaction, I knew the whole opening episode was going to work because they all exuded a sense of playfulness to each other. That [playful] actually ended up changing the script. So it was that magical moment that made me go, “This series is going to make it.” You look forward to people the most Can you see it? I have to say, I absolutely loved the mysterious episode 4 castle. Patty Guggenheim, who plays Madisynn, is a comedy genius, and her teasing with Wong [Benedict Wong] is one of my favorite elements of the show. I also love Donnie Blaze (played by Coiro’s sidekick Rhys Coiro) and the whole scene. [Episode 4] The courtroom scene is just one of my favorite scenes in the entire series, and it was written by a writer named Melissa Hunter. Episode 4 also has some spoilers The Sopranos. Do some of you feel guilty about ruining the show for Gen Z/Alpha Marvel fans? (laughs.) If any Words, I hope it gets them to watch the show. They should do their homework and watch TheSopranos. 10842021 She-Hulk is airing on Disney+. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
