Madisynn and Wong were almost in the 'She-Hulk' finale — but not where you think
The She-Hulk: Attorney at Law season finale truly had everything: Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) getting justice, Bruce Banner's (Mark Ruffalo) son, the return of Daredevil (Charlie Cox), and a ton of fourth wall-breaking. Tragically absent? Breakout character Madisynn (Patty Guggenheim), who became unlikely BFFs with Sorcerer Supreme Wong (Benedict Wong) in episode 4, "Is This Not Real Magic?"
Madisynn's party girl persona and love of bingeing (and spoiling) TV shows immediately endeared her to audiences. Add on her iconic description of her name's spelling — "two N’s, one Y, but it’s not where you thiiink" — and you have an instant MCU fave.
Despite the character's killer introduction, Madisynn only appeared in one episode of She-Hulk. However, as director Kat Coiro revealed in a video interview with Mashable, she did try to get Madisynn a quick cameo in the scene where Jen arrives in K.E.V.I.N.'s — a robot version of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige — lair. There, she sees screens displaying scenes from various MCU movies, including Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Turns out, we could have seen Madisynn and Wong (aka Wongers) up there as well.
"When we were editing the finale, I campaigned to have Madisynn and Wong come onto the screen in K.E.V.I.N.'s inner sanctum," Koiro said. "I was like, 'Can we just give the audience a little taste of them?' That didn't end up making it in, but I think that Madisynn and Wong should have their own movie."
While Madisynn only appears in one episode, Coiro is delighted by the reaction to the character and to Guggenheim's performance. The two have worked together on several projects, including the series Florida Girls.
"When I first saw her audition about seven years ago, I was like, 'Who is this woman? She's got to be a star,'" said Koiro. Because of Guggenheim's star turn in She-Hulk, Coiro added, "the world now sees what I have seen, and I hope that it launches huge things for her, because she's just a delight in every single way."
All episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are now streaming on Disney+.
