There’s a simple reason why Madisynn King, She Hulk<\/em>‘s breakout original character, didn’t deliver a crowd-pleasing encore in the Disney+ series’ season finale.<\/p>\n

The answer: the finale was in fact filmed first<\/em> and Madisynn had yet to even be cast, so there was no predicting the reaction the party girl would receive, let alone after Episode 4 had streamed to the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was definitely a favorite character,\u201d She-Hulk: Attorney at Law<\/em> head writer\/exec producer Jessica Gao noted during an in-depth Q&A with TVLine, \u201cbut we wrote the whole season before casting it.\u201d (And as director Kat Coiro separately shared with us, the finale actually was the first episode filmed.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all were completely delighted with the character, but never in writing her did we think that she would go that big<\/em>!\u201d said Gao. \u201cIt was n’t until Patty Guggenheim was cast and we saw her work that we were like, ‘Ohhh, this is going to be a breakout character \u2014 the Madisynn Supremacy.’<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if I had known it was Patty Guggenheim from the beginning, she absolutely would have been in not just the finale, but more episodes,\u201d Gao avowed.<\/p>\n

(TVLine then suggested that in the finale’s mid-credits scene, in which Wong portals into the DODC to spring Emil Blonsky, it may have suficed to simply hear Madisynn in the background beckon for her \u201cWongers!\u201d \u2014 to which Gao added, \u201c Or you just see her walking by in the background, holding a vodka-and-yak milk.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Director Kat Coiro, who had previously worked with Guggenheim and in turn sold everyone on casting her in She Hulk<\/em> Episode 4, told TVLine, \u201cIt was so gratifying to watch her explode in this role. I remember when I put together my director’s cut on the finale, I was like, ‘Let’s bring back Patty!’\u201d<\/p>\n

Alas, \u201cIt wasn’t in the cards,\u201d Coiro sighed, \u201cbut my hope is that it’s because they have bigger plans for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

And just how much would Coiro wager on Madisynn one day resurfacing in the MCU? \u201cOooh, that’s a tough one\u2026,\u201d she hedged, before deciding with a laugh, \u201cI’d put down a million dollars!\u201d<\/p>\n
