Critics and fans have praised Lawson for her ability to hold her own against heavyweights like Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti.
One of the most exciting aspects of Lawson’s casting is that she is not playing a pre-existing comic book character. In the era of superhero media, fans often know a character's fate before the show even airs. Because Maya Reese is an original creation, Lawson had the freedom to build the character from the ground up.
