Marvel's She-Hulk: Attorney at Law spoilers follow.
The She-Hulk: Attorney at Law creative team are breaking down how a surprise cameo in episode 3 came about.
After news broke earlier this week that 'WAP' rapper Megan Thee Stallion would be making her MCU debut in the Disney+ series, she turned up in a post-credits scene in the very next episode.
Megan played a fictionalised version of herself, who has a surprising romantic past with Jennifer Walters's arrogant rival Dennis Bukowski (Drew Matthews).

In a recent chat with Digital Spy, executive producer Kat Coiro revealed that cast member Jameela Jamil helped make the cameo happen since she'd worked with Megan on the reality show Legendary.
What to Read Next
"So it was scripted as a famous person who we would never believe would date Dennis Bukowski – and it was actually Jameela Jamil who has worked with Megan before who suggested her, and everybody on the team just said 'yep! That's who it should be!'" Coiro explained.
"When we told Tatiana, she almost had a heart attack because she is the world's biggest genuine Megan Thee Stallion fan. So that scene where they dance together was written kind of on the fly to give Tatiana the time of her life, and we all discovered that she can twerk and hold her own with Megan Thee Stallion. Just another thing to add to her huge list of accomplishments!"

She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is streaming on Disney+, with new episodes premiering on Thursdays.
