Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige appeared in the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law finale, not as a studio executive, but as an omnipotent artificial intelligence named K.E.V.I.N. However, the Marvel boss clashed with She-Hulk head writer Jessica Gao so intensely that the show almost fell through, and all because of a cap.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Gao explained her initial pitch of having Feige voice K.E.V.I.N. was unsuccessful, but the conversation pivoted to whether or not K.E.V.I.N. should wear Feige's iconic baseball cap. Gao stated, "In the first draft, I described the robot as an Akira meets a HAL 9000-like AI brain/robot, and the script specifically said that it’s wearing a little black baseball cap on top." Concept and pre-vis artists were depicting K.E.V.I.N with the baseball cap, but Feige shot that down saying, "Well, that doesn't make any sense. Why would a robot wear a hat?"

Gao was baffled that after pitching the rest of the episode -- which sees She-Hulk punch through the audience's Disney+ menus, brawl her way through the Marvel Studios lot, and meet Kevin Feige only to realize that he's a robot -- it was the robot wearing a baseball cap that proved too much. Feige responded, "Yeah, it doesn't make a lick of sense. So it shouldn’t have a hat." Gao then joked in front of the entire writer's room that if Feige didn't let her put a hat on that robot, she would quit. Feige fired back with a dry, "Thank you very much, Jessica. You've done some great work for us, and we really appreciate everything."

She-Hulk Spat Was All In Good Fun

Gao was not actually fired as a result of this meeting and went on to oversee the creation of all nine episodes of She-Hulk. K.E.V.I.N.'s final design is a middle ground between a baseball cap and no baseball cap, with a curved piece of metal above the top of K.E.V.I.N.'s robot face to simply evoke a baseball cap.

Despite Feige's reservations, Gao also explained that he was incredibly supportive of She-Hulk's series finale being so unusual and breaking away from the "big villain fight" Marvel finales are known for. However, the final sequence went through a series of revisions before it was ever filmed. Gao previously revealed the team even considered allowing an actor such as George Clooney or Jon Hamm to play the Marvel Studios head.

All nine episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are now streaming on Disney+.
