With She-Hulk episode 3 arriving on Disney+, fans may be wondering who Megan Thee Stallion’s character is in the new episode. This new Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series follows the character of Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) as she grapples with her alter ego, She-Hulk. Here is who rapper Megan Thee Stallion plays in the new MCU show.
Who does Megan Thee Stallion play in She-Hulk episode 3?
Megan Thee Stallion portrays none other than herself in She-Hulk episode 3. She appears in a cameo appearance in the new MCU show. She is yet another celebrity to play herself in an MCU property, with Marvel Studios inviting Tesla billionaire Elon Musk in for Iron Man 2 and talk show host Joan Rivers onto Iron Man 3.
Typically, MCU celebrity cameos feature actors playing other minor characters, such as Miley Cyrus voicing Mainframe in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Matt Damon’s brief appearances as an Asgardian actor in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. This makes Megan Thee Stallion’s role in the MCU a bit of an anomaly, but one that fits into the tone of this comedic show.
She-Hulk is a legal comedy set in the MCU. The new episode features a storyline about Dennis Bukowski, a lawyer who gets swindled out of $200,000 by a shapeshifter posing to be rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The episode gets mileage out of having Bukowski be dense enough to believe he could date the real Megan Thee Stallion. She appears in the courtroom, yelling that there is only one Megan Thee Stallion.
While this is a bit of a strange casting choice for the MCU, it is on brand for a common casting trend to bring musicians into films. This has been depicted with Cardi B appearing in F9: The Fast Saga and Post Malone showing up in Wrath of Man. As the show is only three episodes in, we never know how the series may use Megan Thee Stallion in the future.
