First off, permit'south brand some things articulate. Titania's impending arrival is based off of the combination of a previously unconfirmed report and a recent social media casting confirmation.

Originally, sources told Variety that Jameela Jamil (The Good Place) was fix to join the upcoming Marvel projection. That was back in June. The report claimed that "Jamil will reportedly play Titania, a Marvel supervillain with incredible force and a frequent rival of She-Hulk." And that both Marvel and Jamil's reps didn't respond to a request for comment, and they patently never did.

Then, on July 16, Jamil decided to throw some confirmation on the internet. A video posted to TikTok (and later Twitter), showed the actress performing fight choreography, including kickboxing.

Jamil played Tahani Al-Jamil on NBC's The Good Place, and that character was so amazingly smug and full of themselves at times that we're very curious to meet how Jamil lights up the screen in the MCU. While Tahani was redeemable, in the long run, she was such a name-dropper that audiences loved to detest her.

Is Titania actually coming to She-Hulk?

Now, what does this mean? Information technology probably means that Jamil is going to be Titania in the She-Blob show. The prove's IMDb folio says every bit much.

She-Hulk is set to exist played past Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), who is bringing lawyer Jennifer Walters to Disney Plus. In the comics, Walters gets her own Blob-like persona after getting a blood transfusion from cousin Bruce Imprint, but she's more of herself during the process, and not a mono-syllabic brute (no offense, Hulk).

That said, call up when the Jonathan Majors IMDb leak (and other notable hints) fabricated united states of america think Kang the Conqueror would be in Loki? We didn't get exactly that. Instead, He Who Remains, likely a variant of Kang, showed upwardly. Hither, Curiosity Studios took some of the source material from the comics, and made their own thing with it. We don't know if they will do something similar with Titania. Variety'south a trusted source, but if Marvel is taking existing source material in a unlike direction, that data may be saved for a afterwards reveal.

Who is Titania? How will she fit into the MCU?

Titania, born Mary MacPherran, has long been a rival of She-Hulk, as the two match upward pretty well on their epic strength. MacPherran, though, was born prematurely and was far from a hulking brute growing up. She grew jealous of super-powered beings and others, and was one day offered superhuman powers by Md Doom.

This could easily snap into the MCU timeline nosotros know, equally Doom, who worked with Kang the Conquistador in the comics. This connection could necktie the villains together, as Kang seems positioned to be a big bad for the time to come MCU Phases.

Looking at the Black Widow end-credits scene, and how Loki concluded, Curiosity's definitely doing everything it tin to make the Disney Plus shows integral to the storytelling of this whole situation. And since Mark Ruffalo and Tim Roth, as Hulk and Anathema will be in the She-Hulk cast, information technology's not a huge spring to propose that Titania may appear in properties exterior of this bear witness. It's all i giant moving Marvel movie machine.

And since Titania's got some jealousy and manipulatable emotions, nosotros're wondering if she's on the Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine's recruitment list. Val's already roped in USAgent and Yelena, and then the mighty Titania could be a perfect fit for her growing roster of baddies.
