Jessica Gao, head writer of the latest MCU Disney Plus series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, has said she thinks Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters will go on to appear in Marvel’s movies.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law ushers a new hulk into the MCU, introducing Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner. The first episode sees Jennifer transformed into She-Hulk, though she makes it clear she has no intention of becoming a superhero.
Despite her initial reluctance, it looks like Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk could have a career with the Avengers in her future. Jessica Gao has revealed she expects to see the character teaming up with other Marvel heroes on the big screen.
She-Hulk Joins The Avengers
During a recent appearance on Deadline’s Hero Nation podcast, Jessica Gao said she would be “shocked” if She-Hulk didn’t make the jump into Marvel’s team-up movies.
Although She-Hulk has made her debut as the ultimate reluctant hero, Jessica Gao made it clear that she sees a heroic future for the character in Marvel’s movies, alongisde other superheroes. This might suggest the character is going to have a change of heart about using her powers as a hero over the course of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
When asked whether she thinks She-Hulk might show up in the recently announced Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, Gao said “I would be shocked if they didn’t start putting her in the movies, especially the group team-up movies.”
As Marvel’s Disney Plus series are still a relatively new format for the studio, it hasn’t been always been clear how strongly some of the shows – such as Moon Knight and She-Hulk, which introduce new heroes and are not designed as set-ups for MCU films – will tie into Marvel’s theatrical releases. However, it sounds like MCU fans should expect to see She-Hulk on the big screen soon.
Here is the synopsis for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law:
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.
The series stars Tatiana Maslany, Mark Ruffalo, Tim Roth, Benedict Wong, Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass, and Renée Elise Goldsberry.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is now streaming on Disney Plus, with new episodes releasing every Thursday. Stay tuned for all the latest news on the Marvel series, and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original video content.
