She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany on Marvel fan sexism, Mark Ruffalo and the trauma of child actors

The Canadian actor won over the critics in ‘Orphan Black’ and on Broadway in ‘Network’, then spoke out in the actors’ strike. She talks to Tom Murray about her new animated film and her reaction as a former child actor to the revelations of ‘Quiet on Set’

She went on to star opposite Nicole Kidman in the neo-noir cop drama Destroyer before making her Broadway debut alongside Bryan Cranston in Lee Hall’s stage adaptation of Network at the end of 2018. She took over the role of a ruthless TV executive from Downton Abbey ’s Michelle Dockery in the London production, and made it her own with a performance that hilariously reinvented a scene in which her character reaches orgasm while talking about audience shares. I think what’s fun about it is that [series creator] Jessica Gao built into the story that people were going to troll us.” A scene in the third episode, for example, airs fictional social media comments about Maslany’s character such as: “Why does every superhero have to be a woman now?” Sound familiar?
