It looks like Marvel has found the perfect star to play She-Hulk, an attorney-at-law who at times turns into an enraged green giant.
This week, Variety reported that
Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany will play She-Hulk in Disney+’s upcoming series based on the titular Marvel Comics character.
In the comics, Jennifer Walters is the cousin of Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk. Walters turns into She-Hulk after inheriting his gamma-radiation transformation power through a blood transfusion. The process lets her control her moments of flaring up, unlike her cousin.
Mark Ruffalo, who starred as the Hulk in the
Avengers franchise, has publicly embraced the news about having Maslany in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Welcome to the family, cuz!” Ruffalo wrote, tagging Maslany in a
tweet.
The She-Hulk series will be directed and produced by Kat Coiro and written by
Rick and Morty writer Jessica Gao.
Earlier this week, Disney+ excited Marvel fans by revealing that the
WandaVision series, based on Scarlet Witch and Vision, will be available by the end of this year.
