In a marketing stunt that shatters the fourth wall, Titania (Jameela Jamil), the antagonist of the ongoing She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series on Disney+, appeared in Los Angeles, California, on August 24, 2022, to vandalize posters advertising the show. The video documenting the vandalism was posted to Twitter by the official She-Hulk account, which was soon quote tweeted by the @Titania account with a “smirk” emoji. According to the bio for the now-verified Titania account, she is an “Influencer,” an “Icon,” and a “Global lifestyle brand (kiss emoji).”
After being briefly introduced in the pilot episode of She-Hulk, “A Normal Amount of Rage,” which was released for streaming on Disney+ on Thursday, August 18, 2022, the character Titania did not appear in the second episode of the series, “Superhuman Law,” released for streaming on Thursday, August 25, 2022. However, an iconic influencer like Titania needs no sophomore episode b-plot to remain firmly present in the public’s consciousness!

In addition to appearing in real-life L.A., Titania also made a splash on social media. One instance saw the character interacting with Dan Slott, a Marvel Comics writer who wrote two volumes of She-Hulk (including the issues that introduce Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Holliway, Shulkie’s new place of employment, a law firm so meta even its name breaks the fourth wall).
And the fourth-wall-breaking continues with the She-Hulk advertisement that Titania defaced in LA featuring a phone number that you can call (and hear pre-recorded dialogue from Jen Walters (Tatiana Maslany) and Bruce (Mark Ruffalo).

Furthermore, Titania wasn’t the only character to break the fourth wall this week. In a phone conversation between Jen and Bruce, the attorney sought her cousin’s approval before accepting the task of representing Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) because Blonsky attempted to kill Bruce Banner in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Bruce tells Jen that he and Abomination have put their bad blood behind them. He expresses this by saying that the conflict felt as though it had transpired between Blonsky and “a different person.” This is a common expression used when people look back on themselves in earlier parts of their lives, in this case, it has a fourth wall-shattering implication: in The Incredible Hulk, the character of Banner wasn’t played by Ruffalo, but by a different actor, Edward Norton, in his sole performance in the role.
