'Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Stephanie Beatriz Says She 'Would Die' to Play She-Hulk in Disney+ Series

Stephanie Beatriz is giving the green light on her recent fan-casting.

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star stopped to speak with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet for NBC’s Comedy Starts Here event this week, and was asked about her thoughts on fans nominating her to star in Marvel’s recently announced She-Hulk series for Disney+.

Beatriz admitted she is very excited about the possibility, saying, “That is so flattering. That is one of the best characters in that universe. I would die to play that role.” In fact, the actress said that she is taking the fan-nominations so seriously, that she even “upped [her] workouts since reading some of those things.”

But getting ripped isn’t the only reason she wants to play the part. The 38-year-old star continued, “But also, [I think it would] be really exciting for fans to see some of these characters that we kind of decided are one thing, to sort of be imagined in a different way.”

Beatriz’s sentiments about the She-Hulk seem to be on track with Marvel Studios' Phase 4 plan, which includes introducing the first female Thor, played by Natalie Portman, and the first openly gay superhero in The Eternals.

I personally am here for Beatriz playing Bruce Banner’s cousin, and it sounds like she would go lengths to get the part!
