Jameela Jamil on Playing Titania in She-Hulk: I Started Doing Squats and Lunges on the Call

Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone green with the premiere of Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law on Disney+ Hotstar.

She-Hulk has a rival of her own: the super-strong Titania pleated by Jameela Jamil. She-Hulk and Titania have been at each other’s throats for nearly four decades of comic book stories. Titania is a narcissistic social media influencer who also has superhuman strength. Her misguided effort to garner attention leads to an unfortunate confrontation with She-Hulk, kicking off an adversarial relationship that confounds Jennifer/She-Hulk while seemingly energising Titania.

For Jamil, playing a physically dominant character was exciting and terrifying. “I freaked out when they told me I would have to learn martial arts like Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu; I started doing squats and lunges on the call because I was terrified about what I had gotten myself into,” said Jamil.

“Titania considers herself the strongest woman in the world and cannot believe there is someone who can challenge her, never mind defeat her. She’s all narcissism and ego. But then She-Hulk steps in and humiliates her publicly. When you take someone with a fragile ego and piss them off, it starts a grudge that grows and grows. All Titania wants to be a thorn in She-Hulk’s side,” added Jamil.
