Marvel’s She-Hulk series will be a half-hour legal comedy

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

During the Disney Investors Day event earlier this month, it was finally confirmed that Tatiana Maslany would be playing Jennifer Walters in Marvel's She-Hulk series for Disney+, which was incredibly exciting. It was also revealed that Mark Ruffalo would be reprising his role of Bruce Banner/Hulk, but the biggest surprise was saved for the announcement that Tim Roth would be back as the Abomination.

In an interview with Emmy Magazine, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige dropped a new tidbit about the She-Hulk series when he revealed that the show will be a half-hour legal comedy, which Feige acknowledged is something they've never done before. Additionally, the Marvel honcho said that the story will be staying true to the She-Hulk comics from writer/artist John Byrne, which should give you a clue in regards to the tone of the series. I'm definitely excited to see what they come up with. In the comics, Jennifer Walters was a young woman who received an emergency blood transfusion from her cousin, who just so happens to be Bruce Banner. As a result of this transfusion of radioactive blood, Jennifer found that she could transform into a large, powerful green-skinned version of herself, but unlike her cousin, she's able to retain much of her intelligence and emotional control.

Kevin Feige also dropped a tidbit about the Moon Knight series, which will star Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector, a former U.S. Marine who has version of a dissociative identity disorder. "It's been a while since we've had an action hero who jumps out of buildings and gets into fights," Feige said, "[but] the mental illness is a unique aspect of the program." Both She-Hulk and Moon Knight are expected to debut on Disney+ in 2022, but our first Marvel Disney+ series will be launching on January 15, 2021 with WandaVision.
