Tatiana Maslany, who stars in Marvel’s new Disney Plus series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, has revealed she nearly played a very different Marvel character on the big screen.

Tatiana Maslany makes her MCU debut this week with the release of She-Hulk on Disney Plus. However, the actress recently revealed that the series wasn’t the first Marvel project for which she was in talks to appear.

Before being cast as the lead of the MCU series, Tatiana Maslany almost appeared in Sony’s Spider-Man spin-off Venom, opposite Tom Hardy.

From She-Venom To She-Hulk

Speaking about her earlier Marvel prospects during a guest appearance on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast with Scott Aukerman, Tatiana Maslany revealed she nearly played She-Venom before being cast as She-Hulk.

When Aukerman said Marvel had been trying to get Tatiana Maslany on board for a project for a while, the actress corrected him, saying “I’ve been trying to get them… They’ve rejected me multiple times.”

Aukerman then pressed the question of Maslany’s previous interactions with Marvel and the She-Hulk star went on to reveal the Marvel project she had previously tried out for:

Aukerman: “For what? What did you try out for?”

Maslany: “Venom. Not for Venom, unfortunately. But for Venom’s girlfriend or whatever.”

Aukerman: “Venom’s girlfriend?”

Maslany: “(laughs) Yeah.”

Aukerman: “Not even Tom Hardy– Eddie Brock’s girlfriend, just Venom’s girlfriend?”

Maslany: “(laughs) Just Venom’s girlfriend. Just the symbiote’s girlfriend.”

Aukerman: “Who was [Venom] trying to date?”

Maslany: “She was cut out. (laughs)”

Ultimately the role of Anne Weying, Eddie Brock’s ex-girlfriend, was played by Michelle Williams in Sony’s Venom films. The character is seen briefly transforming into She-Venom in the franchise’s first film, as she brings the Venom symbiote back to Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock.

While she may have missed out on joining the Venom series, Tatiana Maslany is now set to lead her own Marvel series on Disney Plus. Here is the synopsis for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law:

“She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.”

The series stars Tatiana Maslany, Mark Ruffalo, Tim Roth, Benedict Wong, Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass, and Renée Elise Goldsberry.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premieres on August 18th on Disney Plus. Stay tuned for all the latest news on the upcoming series, and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original video content.
