She also narrated David Cronenberg's ''Film/EasternPromises'', played Mary in a 2010 BBC production of the Nativity and had a part in ''Film/DiaryOfTheDead'', and has played ComicBook/SheHulk in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse since 2022.

28	!!This actress provides examples of:
29	* BrainyBrunette: Her default color, Cosima from ''Series/OrphanBlack'' being the most clear-cut example.
30	* CunningLinguist: She speaks English, German, French and Spanish.
31	* DawsonCasting: Thanks to her diminutive stature and youthful features, Maslany convincingly played teenagers well into her late twenties.
32	* FreudianTrio: She played at least one by herself (Sarah, Cosima and Alison).
33	* {{Improv}}: Maslany has an extensive background in improvisation. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFxdS6sjR84 Here's an example.]]
34	* StarMakingRole: ''Series/OrphanBlack'', which is an unusual case because it's not just ''one'' role, but like most examples is still one series. (In her native Canada, while she wasn't super-famous, she wasn't obscure like she was internationally).
35	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: She's been attached to two separate ''Franchise/StarWars'' films (''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Film/TheLastJedi''), but both times she had to drop out due to scheduling conflict. She almost had the role of Jyn in ''Rogue One'', which was given to Creator/FelicityJones.
