But it's Marvel. And after an early episode finds Walters comically discussing Captain America's virginity and struggling with her own dating life, it can't stay funny all the way.

Maslany spoke about joining the MCU recently. , laughed at Steve Rogers' sex life and considered the most shocking death of Sopranos.

I was genuinely laughing through her first four episodes. Seeing what was going on in the MCU made me want to audition to play She-Hulk.

"I've never known She-Hulk before. I've seen that image of her, but never been involved with it. I read the comic and it was really the uniqueness of that character and the space she occupies in the Marvel Universe - it's very meta and self-aware and makes fun of Marvel - it was so cool to me It looked so different that I had to audition.”

Orphan Black How did her MCU have you prepared for

"Orphan Blackwas lucky to be exposed to the creation of different characters. What they gave me was the technical element of the job, half of the time I'm wearing a motion capture suit with a camera in front of my face and a helmet on top, so I can make these scenes feel real. There are so many suspensions of disbelief that are necessary for Orphan Black and I was able to use the pieces I was working across from the tennis ball on set."

Did you have sitcom homework?

"No, but I grew up watching sitcoms. Elaine Bennes on Seinfeldwas a big touchstone for me. was a character I idolized as well as Julia-Louis Dreyfus''

between you and Mark, discussing the virginity of Captain America. I have a scene. It dropped me down a Google rabbit hole — I didn't know that was what fans actually discussed.

Did you go to Reddit to read other fan theories and start discussions with fans anonymously?

I love the return of Abomination. What were your thoughts on the decision to bring him back into the franchise?

"He's special because he's in a movie where Mark isn't playing the Hulk. It's a very deep dive and brings him into this show." That makes a lot of sense.The way Tim explored his character before was much darker and less sitcom-like, so it was really cool for him to bring in that character and play in this fun and goofy atmosphere.
