Marvel's She-Hulk Show Gives Us a Look at a Different Side of the MCU



Jennifer Walters' MCU debut will bring a slew of colossal heroes and villains to Disney+, but it will also give us a unique look at a world far removed from the domain of superheroes stomping on each other: the American court system.

Marvel Studios has offered us a new look at She-Hulk, one of its many future scheduled streaming programs on the platform, as part of today's Disney+ Day celebrations. The series will also feature Renée Elise Goldsberry from Hamilton and Ginger Gonzaga from The Morning After. It will star Maslany as Walters and Jameela Jamil from The Good Place as Jen's off-again, on-again archnemesis Titania. Tim Roth and Mark Ruffalo, who play the Abomination and Bruce Banner/the Incredible Hulk, respectively, will reprise their Marvel roles.

Maslanay is greened up as Jen's Hulk character in a white and purple jumpsuit evocative of her original comics costume, but the footage only gives us a quick look of her. Jennifer opens the footage by doing yoga in her apartment and walking to her day job as an attorney, as she tells us overtop, "I'm Jen Walters, a lawyer, and very, very normal." Until we get to the aforementioned hulk-out shot, that is. She adds, "Well, not that typical."

We don't get to see much more of that, as we jump to Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner testing Jen in an isolation chamber while wearing a headset. "Anger and anxiety drive these transformations," a hulked-up Bruce informs Jen as we cut to something even stranger than hulked-out-lawyers: Jen and Bruce dressed in throwback, '70s style clothing on a false rooftop set, filmed with blurry, artifacted film. Jen exclaims, passionately rotating to the camera, "Don't make me mad." "You wouldn't like me if I was mad." Jen's propensity for fourth-wall metahumor from her old comics could be something we get to see at play in the series, according to the tone.
