Marvel’sShe-Hulkshow is one major step closer to becoming a reality. The scripts for the upcoming Disney+ series have been completed as it’s been revealed that the writer’s room has wrapped up its work. This, according to screenwriter Dana Schwartz, who was among the group of writers tasked with bringing Jennifer Walters to life on screen in live-action for the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe era.
Jessica Gao (Rick and Morty) serves as the head writer of theShe-Hulkshow, which was originally announced last August as part of the expanding lineup of Marvel programming making its way to Disney+. Taking to Twitter, Dana Schwartz revealed that the writer’s room recently ended, meaning that the script work is complete, meaning the show is closer to production. Here’s what Schwartz had to say.
“The She-Hulk room ended so if you happen to be a showrunner looking for a writer who makes jokes and writes books and knows a lot of historical fun facts, hit me up!!!!”
For now, plot details remain quite scarce forShe-Hulk. The project wasannounced alongside Moon KnightandMs. Marvelas several shows joining the MCU lineup on Disney+. Other live-action MCU shows currently in the works includeThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier,WandaVision,HawkeyeandLoki.
Unlike other shows produced during the MCU era,these will be heavily tied into the movies, with the actors reprising their roles and the budgets expected to be on par with Marvel Studios' features. Kevin Feige, who heads up Marvel Studios, is also directly involved as a producer. That sets them apart from shows such asDaredevilandJessica Jonesthat were produced for Netflix.
For now, there is no firm word onwho will play Jessica Walters, akaShe-Hulk. Though, there are rumors regardingGlowstar Allison Brie. The character first appeared in the pages of Marvel Comics in 1980. She was created by Stan Lee and John Buscema. Walters is an attorney who gained her Hulk powers after Bruce Banner, her cousin, had to provide her with an emergency blood transfusion after an injury. Mark Ruffalo has confirmed that he has had talks to reprise his role as Bruce Banner in the series, but nothing has been firmed up on that front just yet.
