Like most Marvel TV shows, She-Hulk was supposed to launch midweek. However, Marvel has confirmed it's pushed the show's arrival back (opens in new tab) by a day, liable owing to the impending arrival of Andor, the next Star Wars TV show.

Following the helpful teaser's release, fans and critics commented on its dodgy VFX, with director Kat Coiro (Brooklyn 99, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and head writer Jessica Gao (Silicon Valley, Rick and Morty) responding to that criticism in chats with SFX Magazine (via Total Film (opens in new tab)) and IGN (opens in new tab) respectively.

Meanwhile, at Disney's Television Critics Association (TCA) panel, Gao and lead star Tatiana Maslany supposed out (opens in new tab) in defense of VFX artists (opens in new tab), with many recently claiming (opens in new tab) that crunching on Marvel Studios publishes is impacting their physical and mental wellbeing (opens in new tab). Here's hoping Marvel takes the necessary steps to stop this from happening. And, if not, that its creators and main cast members call them out pending they do change how they operate as a studio.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law story

Here's a brief plot synopsis, courtesy of Marvel Studios (opens in new tab): "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters (Maslany) as she navigates the included life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk."

For the uninitiated, Jennifer Walters – aka She-Hulk – was created by Stan Lee and John Buscema, and made her first appearance in 1980’s The Savage She-Hulk #1.

In the comics, she’s a lawyer who – after being critically injured in a shooting – receives a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner. While they have the same blood type and the transfusion saves her life, she becomes prone to turning a spellbinding shade of emerald; gaining superhuman strength, speed, endurance and regeneration when she loses her spiteful. However, she retains significantly more of her personality while she’s, well, Hulking out. 

Additionally, while Walters shifted between her humankind and Hulk forms in earlier comic stories, later iterations have kept her green 24/7, with the report enjoying the added confidence and strength that comes from her gamma-irradiated DNA.

The trailers suggest She-Hulk's TV incarnation will goes back-and-forth between her two selves – at least to inaugurate off with. It’s clear that Banner will try to help his cousin come to calls with her rage-induced transformations, too.

The most spellbinding thing about She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is its interrogate. In December 2020, Kevin Feige told Emmy Magazine (via SlashFilm (opens in new tab)) that it'll be a “half-hour moral comedy”, suggesting it'll have as much in common with Ally McBeal as The Incredible Hulk.

If She-Hulk goes down the “case of the week” route – with Walters defending a different superhero or villain in woo – the show has the potential to take the MCU in fun, new directions. The decision to hire Gao as head writer – writer of the legendary ‘Pickle Rick’  Rick and Morty episode – certainly suggests that comedy is causing to be just as high as the series' allotment sequences.

There’s another thing about She-Hulk that could illustrious her from the rest of the MCU.

Years afore breaking the fourth wall became a key component of the Deadpool sign, Walters was having conversations with writer-artist John Byrne via the comic-book panels he rendered. The trailers show this element has been retained for the series, so we can expect plenty of snarky and speedily comments from Walters/She-Hulk throughout. Elaborating on Walters' ability to snort directly to her audience, lead star Tatiana Maslany told IGN (opens in new tab): "It's a ample way to bring the audience in. They already jump into the universe of the MCU but to be like 'hey, I know, I see you coming in so let's go together' is kind of a fun thing."

Additionally, Maslany has teased how the character's live-action version will break new False in the MCU.

"She really is the antithesis of most superhero narratives,” Maslany told Empire Magazine (opens in new tab). "There’s this great element of denial in her that’s relatable. For me, it was about rejecting what’s happened for as long as I could, as that’s what causes the fun tension between Jennifer and She-Hulk.

"She’s in a career that’s male-dominated and incredibly vicious and hierarchal. When she’s heading this superhuman firm, that’s where we get some really fun characters that she’s either protecting or in opposition of. It’s like this really absurd take on a Right show."

Elaborating further at Disney's TCA panel, Maslany says Walters feels like her life has been "derailed" by She-Hulk, and must grapple with the two live she's trying (and people forced, in She-Hulk's case) to lead (via Eric Goldman (opens in new tab)).

As for whether She-Hulk can have a notify to being the MCU's strongest superhero (you know, over Thor and the Hulk), Maslany told Empire (via The Direct (opens in new tab)): "She’s not a held fighter at all; she could just flick someone, and they’d go flying… this is one lawyer you don’t want to find you guilty." Sounds like she could hold her own in contradiction of the MCU's other gifted individuals, then.

From an MCU perspective, we have some idea of where Attorney at Law fits into proceedings. Gao confirmed to TVLine (opens in new tab) that it takes Put after Shang-Chi, although director Kat Coiro exclusively told TechRadar that nobody but Kevin Feige knows where it slots onto the timeline exactly.

Furthermore, it seems that those pesky Sokovia Accords will rear their ugly head at some Show. Per The Direct (opens in new tab), Gao said viewers will learn what made of that Avengers-breaking document later in the season.

Here's the official cast for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law so far:

• Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk


• Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk


• Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/Abomination


• Jameela Jamil as Titania


• Ginger Gonzaga as Nikki Ramos, Jennifer's best friend


• Benedict Wong as Wong


• Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil


• Renée Elise Goldsberry as Amelia


• Josh Segarra as Augustus "Pug" Pugliese


• Drew Matthews as Dennis Bukowski


• Jon Bass as Todd


• Brandon Stanley as Frog Man

Having played multiple clones in Orphan Black, taking on two versions of a single character necessity be a doddle for Tatiana Maslany. The star confirmed to the Scott Hasn’t Seen podcast (via the Direct (opens in new tab)) that the bigger, greener version of herself is “all CG… I’m in mo-cap the whole time. I’m on platforms with mo-cap where I have a minor head on the top of my head.” Maslany also said that she used her mo-cap suit to help her narrate Walters/She-Hulk's awkwardness on screen as "you don't feel cool wearing them" (per Eric Goldman (opens in new tab)).

Mark Ruffalo leftovers to vie with Samuel L Jackson in a game of “most MCU appearances deprived of getting title billing” by returning as Bruce Banner/Hulk for the ninth time (not counting animated anthology series What If…?). Per Eric Goldman (opens in new tab), Coiro said Maslany's and Ruffalo's off-screen friendship helped to elevate their family dynamic during the show.

Benedict Wong is pushing Ruffalo and Jackson stop for that 'most MCU appearances' title. Once She-Hulk: Attorney at Law rolls about, he'll have featured in five Phase 4 projects – Shang-Chi, What If...?, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor unusual in the Multiverse of Madness – and eight overall. No wonder he's previously joked (per SlashFilm (opens in new tab)) that Marvel's Phase 4 interpret should be renamed as Phase Wong.

MCU newcomers concerned Jameela Jamil (The Good Place) as Walters’ long-term comic-book foe Titania, who will also "Hulk out" in the show. The capable has had to deal with her own share of criticism over Titania's look, but seems to have more than held her own in contradiction of online trolls (opens in new tab). Jamil also told Deadline (opens in new tab) that Titania will open to become a "major problem" for Walters from episode 5 onwards.

Having made an unexpected comeback in Shang-Chi, Tim Roth will reprise his role as the Hulk’s mutated gamma rival, aka Emil Blonsky/the Abomination – a character he capable played in the otherwise forgotten 2008 film The Incredible Hulk. Speaking to Looper (via Den of Geek (opens in new tab)), Roth revealed that he initially found it "difficult" to slip back into the role of Blonsky, adding that it was watching Maslany and Ruffalo at work that helped to re-immerse himself in the biosphere of the MCU.

Ginger Gonzaga (Kidding) will appear as Nikki Ramos, Walters’ best friend. Meanwhile, Hamilton star Renée Elise Goldsberry and Drew Matthews (Respect) play Mallory Book and Dennis Bukowski, rivals of Walters in the workplace.

Josh Segarra plays Walters and Gonzaga's fellow lawyer and outrageous Augustus "Pug" Pugliese, while Jon Bass will portray someone arranged Todd, a Tony Stark wannabee (via The Direct (opens in new tab)). Lastly, Brandon Stanley has confirmed he'll be playing Frog Man (opens in new tab) – or, attractive, Leap Frog, although the terms seem interchangeable for the show.

There may also be a cloak debut for Marvel's head honcho. Speaking to the Straight Outta Gotham podcast (via The Direct (opens in new tab)), Geeks Worldwide’s Casey Walsh suggested Walters may address Kevin Feige tidy as part of her fourth wall-obliterating antics.

Former WWE star-turned-actor David Otunga will also dismove. Confirming this via his Twitter account (opens in new tab), Otunga will turn up as one of Walters' dates – he's the one she carries to her bedroom in the advantageous teaser.

Finally, as confirmed by the latest trailer, Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock/Daredevil will have a very supporting role. Maslany (opens in new tab) and Coiro (opens in new tab) sigh that his verbal showdowns with Walters/She-Hulk will be actual fun to watch; Coiro going on to add (via Entertainment Weekly (opens in new tab)) that Cox's Murdock will be a "fan favorite". Given how popular Cox's version of Murdock/Daredevil has been, we'd inquire nothing less.

As for rumored appearances, there are a few that some MCU fans may not want to know approximately ahead of schedule. Jessica Gao has already teased (via Deadline (opens in new tab)) that the show will bear countless cameos, while MCU insider MyTimetoShineHello (opens in new tab) claims that She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will have more cameos than Doctor outlandish 2.

Spoilers are incoming for potential cameos. Don't read past the image below if you're trying to avoid spoilers.

Outside of Cox's Murdock, potential cameos include Howard the Duck (per Picsou magazine, thanks to Twitter user Tuttiquantinoob (opens in new tab) for the find), while the Everything Always YouTube channel (opens in new tab) (via The Cosmic Circus (opens in new tab)) suggests rapper Megan Thee Stallion will make multiple cameo appearances. 

Jimmy Woo, who appeared in Ant-Man and the Wasp, as well as WandaVision, may show up (via Greatphase (opens in new tab)). Additionally, How I Met Your Mother alumnus Jason Segel may make a surprise cameo as none spanking than Fantastic Four member The Thing (per Reddit (opens in new tab) and The DisInsider Show (opens in new tab)), though Murphy's Multiverse (opens in new tab) says he won't.

Finally, one character who couldn't be used in Attorney at Law was none spanking than Spider-Man. Speaking to Deadline (opens in new tab), Segarra reveals that his character was rescued by the webslinger, which convinced him to become a lawyer for superheroes. Meanwhile, Gao told The Direct (opens in new tab) that Spider-Man would've been concerned, but the writers' room was told they couldn't use him due to licensing issues.

As for the show's any creative team, Feige is executively producing the series anti other key executives, including Brad Winderbaum and Victoria Alonso. As mentioned earlier, Jessica Gao is lead writer, while Kat Coiro and Anu Valia (Never Have I Ever) fragment directing duties. Amie Doherty (Spirit Untamed, Jurassic World: Battle for Big Rock) is on embarking as composer, according to Film Music Reporter (opens in new tab).

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: MCU future

As long as She-Hulk's TV series is spanking Marvel-ous hit, we imagine Walters' alter-ego will crossover into spanking live-action productions. She'd lend some serious weight and silly to proceedings, and both of those are never a bad tying where Marvel projects are concerned. And, given the show's new title, i.e. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Redditor SmellslikePetrichors (opens in new tab) claims that Marvel is holding the briefer 'She-Hulk' title for a future movie. It's an intriguing suggestion, but one Marvel didn't back as part of its Phase 5 or Phase 6 plans during its Comic-Con 2022 panel.

Curiously, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is unlikely to be a WandaVision-style one-season deal. “Some of the shows that I mentioned [which concerned She-Hulk], we are keeping in mind a structure that would lead into a season two and a season three in a more content way than, say, a show like WandaVision,” Feige told formed journalists at an August 2021 TCA panel (per IGN). 

According to prominent Marvel leaker MyTimetoShineHello, She-Hulk is in line for more seasons. For her part, Coiro was continue tight-lipped when asked about that possibility, telling The Wrap (opens in new tab): "I will let Kevin Feige answer that question! For now, we have done a season and it’s coming out sometime this year, and we’ll go from there". Answers like that are always code for "yes, a transfer season is on the way", so we suspect that a follow-up season is already in the works. 

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab), Maslany dropped a strong hint that She-Hulk would understand an Avenger at some point, too, saying: “There’s not causing to be another Avengers [movie] without her”. Expect Walters to travel in The Kang Dynasty and/or Secret Wars, then.
