"I would’ve never seen myself in the Marvel live-action world in a million years anyway, so to then have been in this thing and have it land the way it did, all of it is still just very out of body," Hahn told the outlet.

Hahn, who is known for her dramatic and comedic roles in “Step Brothers,” “Transparent,” and “Private Life,” landed her nomination for outstanding supporting actress in a limited series or movie last week, marking her second Emmy nomination in her career.

"There was something about this part, something that I had always been a little bit 'hmm,' something as an actor that you’re afraid of, which is scale or size, and taking up space," Hahn said.

"And especially as a woman, just like being loud. That kind of performance is somewhat seen as just being too much, and so it was really fun just as a performer to be able to take up that much space and take that kind of a risk."

Since premiering in January, “WandaVision” has become a breakout hit and a popular trending topic on social media.

The series takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame” and follows Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth) and Vision (Paul Bettany) as they try to keep their identities a secret while living a suburban life in the town of Westview.

“I don’t think it’s possible to expect all of this. You always hoped for this to be the end result. But you never truly know. There were a lot of moments on set where I had a feeling we were doing something special," the actress said according to AP.

“You could never anticipate this level of response,”“Bridgerton” creator and showrunner Chris Van Dusen said in a phone interview.

The Netflix series is nominated for best drama series and Regé-Jean Page earned a nomination for best actor.
