Speaking of She-Hulk, the character's original name is Jennifer Walters. She is an attorney and cousin of Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk.  She is transformed when a blood transfusion from Bruce gives her new powers. While Bruce couldn’t keep control of his mind when he transformed into Hulk, Jennifer can. The yet-to-be-announced series will reportedly premiere on Disney+.

Talking about Tatiana, she is still remembered for her role in Orphan Black. She was nominated for three Emmys and a Golden Globe for Orphan Black and won the Emmy for best actress in a drama series in 2016.
