Talking to AP Entertainment, the actress found herself on the topic of people critiquing her body for the lack of muscles that the character has compared to what they expected to be. In the interview, the actress said the following,
“There has been critique that her body’s not muscular, and to me, I kind of find that to be an interesting conversation to have, too. There is an opportunity here for a very muscular woman, which is something that we don’t often see on screen, and I feel people in that desire, I feel that.”

The Orphan Black actress continued,
“So much of her is about the perception from the outside, and so much of her is about the way people look at her differently depending on which body she’s presenting at that time. Jen Walters is received very differently than She-Hulk is, and that outward response and feedback tells her something about herself.”
