leé backs that up, explaining, “I help a group of urban Robin Hoods to take away from the privileged and help give back to the community.” Shea also mentioned that the character Slug is referred to by a code name due to potential pursuers.
Additionally, Shea’s character in the MCU uses pronouns, suggesting a layered and complex character. Interestingly, the Drag Queen aspect of Couleé’s character is integrated creatively into the plot, with Shea mentioning, “You see them in drag, but it’s kind of in the context of flashbacks before where they are now because they’re trying to be on the low-low!”
