By Rachelle / 18 Sep 2020 (Friday)
Emmy Award winner Tatiana Maslany has landed a coveted role, Marvel Studios' very own She-Hulk! Maslany will be playing the role of the superhero in Disney+'s upcoming She-Hulk series.
She-Hulk is Jennifer Walters, an attorney and cousin of Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk. An emergency blood transfusion from her cousin gives Walters her powers, but unlike Banner/Hulk, She-Hulk was able to keep her intelligence and personality when she Hulked out.
See how the MCU's Bruce Banner/Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo reacted to Maslany's casting news:
Maslany is best known for her Emmy-winning role in Orphan Black and is currently coming off her highly-lauded role in HBO’s Perry Mason opposite Matthew Rhys. She has starred in films such as Stronger and Destroyer and has also appeared on Broadway opposite Bryan Cranston and Tony Goldwyn in 2018’s Network.
Kat Coiro (Brooklyn 99, Modern Family, Dead to Me) will be directing several episodes including the pilot while Rick and Morty writer Jessica Gao has already been tapped to lead the writers room.
This project is just one of a few anticipated series Marvel Studios is working on for Disney+, with The Falcon and Winter Soldier, WandaVision and Loki all in production and set to bow in the next year.
