Marvel Studios gave a first peek at a trio of new MCU shows that will broadcast on the streaming network in 2022, including She-Hulk, starring Tatiana Maslany as the eponymous giant green woman, as part of today’s Disney Plus Day event. The footage is now only available on Disney Plus.
It’s tempting to think of She-Hulk as the comic book version of a “sexy Hulk” outfit, but she’s established a totally distinct place in the Marvel Comics universe after being developed for trademark concerns. That is, as its most renowned lawyer, as Maslany declares early in Marvel’s newly released footage: “I’m Jennifer Walters.” “I’m a normal lawyer.”
Jen Walters was, of course, a normal lawyer until a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner — who appears in the footage, played by Mark Ruffalo — given on her a version of his gamma powers, allowing her to transform into a more impulsive, but still intelligent, giant, green version of herself at will. It’s unclear how Jen’s origin story will play out in the new TV series based on the new video, but the teaser does provide a glimpse of her attire, which is undoubtedly influenced by her famous white and purple leotard.
Tim Roth (The Incredible Hulk) will portray the Abomination (as teased in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) in the series, while Jameela Jamil (The Good Place) will play Titania, a super-strong supervillain who frequently targets She-Hulk with her ire.
The She-Hulk Disney Plus project has yet to be given a release date, with Marvel just calling it as a “original series streaming soon,” although it is likely to air in 2022.
