It Was Kevin Feige's Idea to Introduce [Spoiler] at the End of SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW
If you haven’t watched the season finale of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law yet, you might want to skip this post for now as it reveals a new character that was introduced in the MCU.
Near the end of the season finale, as things are being wrapped up, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk shows up at a little outside BBQ with Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany), Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), and a few other characters. Without hesitation, he introduces his son Skaar to everyone.
Fans had been wondering what Hulk was up to after he blasted off into space, and it turned out he went to Sakaar, where he embarked on a little adventure that has yet to be told.
It turns out that the introduction of Skaar was all Kevin Feige’s idea. In a new interview with Variety, She-Hulk series creator Jessica Gao said:
“From the beginning, we often talked about if there would there be a cameo at the end or, in typical Marvel fashion, would we tease a new character at the very end. A big cameo would be completely dependent on who was available and who was willing to do it, and you can’t really bank on that at the script stage. We talked a lot about what character we could tease. Ultimately, it was Kevin who decided it should be Skaar. His look is all Kevin Feige.”
So, not only did he push for the introduction of the Skaar, he is also the one that wanted the character to look that way. I’ve seen a lot of people complain about the look of Skaar, who was played by Wil Deusner. Gao went on to say that she has no idea what the future plans for the character are saying:
“Kevin was very specific about with Skaar. So I’m sure there’s some plan in the future, though I have no idea what that might be. We all knew that Daredevil had to come back because people love him and their chemistry is so great. I only wish that Patty Guggenheim as Madisynn had come back in the finale. That’s my great regret.”
As for the possibility of a World War Hulk movie, which a lot of fans are speculating will happen, Ruffalo had this to say about it at D23 Expo:
"I don't know. It certainly does suggest that. There has been some conversations about what happened in the two years where Hulk abandoned Banner and the Avengers [on Sakaar], and the emergence of Smart Hulk, which hasn't ever fully been answered. I think maybe we've given four sentences to that time period since then. It's really an interesting, exciting part of the Hulk story and Banner story.
"I do think that the trip to Sakaar is a good place to start and what that means to the idea of what the fans have been asking for — this idea of Planet Hulk or World War Hulk or just the journey that Banner and Hulk have to make to come to peace with each other. That's really interesting to me, and I do feel like there is some interest in exploring that down the line."
I think that it’s safe to say a World War Hulk movie is coming. We’ll just have to wait and see how it all comes together and what kind of story it will tell.
What did you think about Skaar’s first appearance in the MCU?
