To say we’re excited for Marvel’s upcoming She-Hulk would be an understatement. Our expectations for the MCU’s take on Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk are pretty high thanks to the precedent set by WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki. Especially since Tatiana Maslany has been cast as the titular lawyer turned superhero. Created by Jessica Gao, who wrote the iconic “Pickle Rick” episode of Rick & Morty, and directed by both Brooklyn 99‘s Kat Coiro and Lucia‘s Anu Valia, She-Hulk’s origins are in good hands. Ahead, we’ve broken down everything we know about She-Hulk, including a potential release date, plot details, and who’s in the cast.

She-Hulk Plot
The series centres on Jennifer Walters, a lawyer and cousin of the original Hulk, Bruce Banner. After receiving a blood transfusion from Bruce, Jennifer realises she’s been imbued with his Hulk powers. Unlike her cousin, Jennifer is able to retain most of her personality and intelligence when she hulks out. With Tim Roth returning as Hulk’s archenemy Abomination and Jameela Jamil reportedly taking on the role of She-Hulk’s nemesis Titania, it seems that She-Hulk will delve deeper into the overarching Hulk mythology. Marvel head Kevin Feige confirmed that the show would be a half-hour legal comedy, which is something the MCU has never done before so think less Daredevil and more Franklin & Bash.
