For headstrong heroines
Taking you next to the very definition of #GirlPower! Here are three women who are more than just being powerful. We're placing bets that you can reflect and find ultimate inspos in life and love through these mighty women. Find out what else they have to offer with their Disney+ releases.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
If you think you have seen it all, you have yet to know Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) AKA She-Hulk.
Walters doubles the strength and power as a lawyer and a female Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Despite the side eyes, she smashes misogyny and discrimination by handling superhero and legal matters at the same time. Plus, her superhero life is not just action and adventure, she is also in for some attempts at the dating world! Be it the typical Walters or the so-called “girl version” of her cousin, the Hulk, She-Hulk is indeed another Marvel star on the rise.
You can catch her through “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.” Plus, get to see what goes on when the cameras cut with “Assembled: The Making of She-Hulk.”
WandaVision
Casting her magic powers on the list is the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) from WandaVision.
Wanda leading Marvel’s series lineup was the right decision, as she is said to be the most powerful among its superheroes. After nearly killing Thanos, a Titan supervillain, in Avengers: Endgame, it turns out she has more powers and persona to unleash. In this series, she doesn’t need the quantum realm or a time machine to revisit time—her magic can do that and more. But apart from the witchcraft, she also deals with heartbreak and extreme grief. We bet you’ll cry a bucket of tears with this series!
Plus, the #GirlPower is twice the fun with the introduction of Marvel’s future female lead, Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris).
Catch her and Wanda-slash-Scarlet Witch on Disney+ with “WandaVision,” plus the bonus behind-the-scenes documentary in “Assembled: The Making of WandaVision.”
Brave
It is truly a sight to behold when young girls defy norms and carve a path for their generation (and the next).
Princess Merida from Brave makes sure she shoots bullseye in every goal. As she was tested by her defiance of their kingdom’s old traditions, she never backed down. Merida is not a damsel-in-distress; she's young royalty with a heart for her family and people.
Indeed an embodiment of a princess, Merida takes up courage in unraveling her own tale. Now is also a great time to hold your bow and arrow, take a shot at your destiny and watch Merida on Brave.
For fearless leaders
Never mind it being cliché, it is still the truth: Who run the world? GIRLS! Join these two women who took their fate into their hands and maybe, you too can be on top of your game.
