Jamila Jamil confirms her ・ the role of the Hulk - who is Titania and what does she do with the MCU?

It looks like the villain for one of the upcoming Marvel shows on Disney Plus, "She-Hulk," has been chosen Yes, following Agatha Harkness, USAgent, and He Who Remains, all signs point to Titania coming to the MCU

First of all, let me make something clear Titania's imminent arrival is based on a combination of previously unconfirmed reports and recently confirmed castings on social media And when I think of this, another villain who has recently appeared in the MCU comes to mind SPOILER WARNING: There are spoilers ahead for the Loki finale and the Black Window post-credit scene

Originally, sources told Variety that Jamila Jamil ("The Good Place") was set to join the upcoming Marvel project That was in June The report claimed that "Jamil will reportedly play Titania, a Marvel supervillain with tremendous strength and a frequent rival to the She-Hulk And representatives of both Marvel and Jamil apparently did not respond to requests for comment

Then, on July 16, Jamil decided to throw some confirmation onto the Internet: a video posted on TikTok (and later Twitter) showed the actress performing fight choreography, including kickboxing At the end of the video, she wrote: "Fight through the MCU and join you in 2022! #SheHulk #AnythingIsPossibleKids"

Jamil played Tahani al-Jamil on NBC's The Good Place, a character who was at times surprisingly self-absorbed and full of herself Tahani had her redeeming qualities, but in the long run she was such a villain that audiences hated her

Now, what does this mean? It probably means that Jamil will be Titania in the "She-Hulk" show The IMDb page for the show says as much

The Sea Hulk will be played by Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), who will bring attorney Jennifer Walters to Disney Plus In the comics, after receiving a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner, Walters acquires her own Hulk-like persona, but in the process she becomes more like herself and less of a single-minded beast (no offense to the Hulk)

Nevertheless, remember how Jonathan Major's IMDb leak (and other notable hints) led us to believe that Kung the Conqueror would appear in "Loki"? We did not get exactly that Instead, we got "He Who Remains," which seems to be a variant of Kang Here, Marvel Studios took a piece of the original comic book and made their own with it Whether they will do something similar with Titania remains to be seen; Variety is a reliable source, but if Marvel is going to take an existing original story in a different direction, they might save that information for a later reveal

Titania, born Mary MacPherran, has long been She-Hulk's rival, as the two match up quite well in epic strength MacPherran, however, was born prematurely and was far from a giant beast growing up She became jealous of psychics and others, and one day Doctor Doom offered her superhuman powers

This can easily be snapped into the MCU timeline we know as Doom, who worked with Kang the Conqueror in the comics Kang could be the big bad in future MCU phases

Looking at the Black Widow end credits scene and how Loki concluded it, there is no doubt that Marvel is doing everything it can to make the Disney Plus show integral to the storytelling of this whole situation And with Mark Ruffalo and Tim Roth appearing in "She-Hulk" as the Hulk and Abomination, it is not a huge leap to suggest that Titania could appear in properties outside of this show It's all a giant moving Marvel movie machine

And since Titania has jealous and manipulative feelings, one wonders if she is on Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine's recruiting list Since Val has already pulled out USAgent and Yelena, the mighty Titania could be a perfect fit for her ever-growing list of villains
