She-Hulk Showrunner Discusses Sex Positivity and Making The Latest Disney+ Show 'Horny-Forward'

There's no denying that Disney+'s latest series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law already captured the attention of Marvel fans just from the first episode. Penned by Jessica Gao, the pilot episode featured Jennifer Walters' (Tatiana Maslany) amusing backstory, thanks to the inclusion of Bruce Banner aka Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who undoubtedly made the episode more humorous that kids could also enjoy.

However, it seems the entire theme of the show will shift to a bizarre turn after head writer Jessica Gao revealed that she incorporated "sex positivity" on the show, despite being aired on Disney+.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Will Explore "Sex Positivity" Themes

During an interview with Collider, Gao might have spoiled some key details that would be unraveled when the show progressed. According to her, there would be an episode that would see Jennifer Walters engaging in a devastating one-night stand, that reflects the real world. She said:

Gao shared more details about the scene and how Maslany delivered a top-notch performance:

Let's admit it, these themes are not really typical in a Disney+ show, but it appears like Marvel Studios is considering more diverse concepts that are solely meant for adults.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Is it A Show About Feminism?

Now that She-Hulk: Attorney at Law intends to focus on feminist themes in the shoes of Jennifer Walters as the raged superheroine, it's safe to assume that some conflict that Maslany's titular heroine would encounter could demonstrate a more in-depth understanding of how modern-day issues about feminism could affect a woman.

In a previous interview with Bell Media, Ginger Gonzaga, who plays Nikki Ramos in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, praised Tatiana Maslany and teased that the show includes a lot of "feminist commentary."

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is available to stream on Disney+.
