Jameela Jamil’s “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” role led to some uncomfortable injuries to places where the sun don’t shine.
Jamil, 36, at the Hollywood, California, Disney+ premiere of the MCU show on Monday that she did her own stunts as Titania, a social media influencer with super-human strength who ends up as She-Hulk’s (Jennifer Walters) rival.
“I was hurting in places that I really didn’t know exists,” Jamil said about her action scenes and stunt sequences. “Like, you’ll probably have to bleep this out, but I pulled a muscle in my a–hole. I didn’t know that was possible.”
“I just felt my publicist’s heart stop beating next to me,” Jamil added after laughing off the reveal.
Jamil says that the role required her to learn jiu-jitsu and kung fu and combat in the air.
“I don’t know how much of it ever gets to make it to the big screen, because CGI is bonkers. But I got to do all my stunts pretty much myself! And that was something I’ve never done before because I’m the ultimate couch potato. I am just a puddle with bangs,” Jamil joked.
“She-Hulk: Attorney at Law”, which also stars Mark Ruffalo and Tatiana Maslany, premieres Aug. 18 on Disney+.
However, some fans are pledging to boycott the show after a promotional bench with armrests was placed on the premiere’s carpet.
Angry social media users deemed the green bench to be a piece of hostile architecture.
Also referred to as “anti-homeless architecture,” the placement of armrests or spikes in the middle of benches is often used to “prevent unwanted behavior”, such as homeless people sleeping on the furniture.
Disney has yet to make an official statement as to why the bench had the armrests.
