Roping in popular rapper Megan Thee Stallion for a cameo in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was a dream come true, said Emmy-winning writer Jessica Gao.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would happen. What a joy!” Gao said.
Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, stars in the third episode of She-Hulk which premiered on Thursday.
Directed by Kat Coiro, She-Hulk also stars Ginger Gonzaga, Jameela Jamil, Josh Segarra, Jon Bass, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Tim Roth, Benedict Wong, and Charlie Cox.
In the latest episode of the half-hour legal comedy, Megan Thee Stallion becomes involved in a case being handled by Augustus Pugliese, played by Josh Segarra.
A shape-shifting elderly resident of planet Asgard catfishes Dennis Bukowski (Drew Matthews), who is the former colleague of Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), by posing as Megan Thee Stallion, making him believe he is dating the Grammy winner.
The episode also shows Walters dance with the real Megan Thee Stallion with the end credits rolling to the rapper’s hit song Body.
“I'm so happy that we had that little tag at the end where the two of them are dancing. That’s one of my favourite moments from the entire show,” said Gao.
The series is currently streaming in India on Disney+ Hotstar, with a new episode dropping every Thursday.
