“Jen has had her life planned out for her and has worked really hard to get to where she is as a lawyer. And to have this thing happen to her that sort of derails everything, it is a bit of an identity crisis. And what I find really compelling about the story is when she’s She-Hulk she’s treated very differently than when she’s Jen.”
Although Marvel hascontinuously describedShe-Hulkas a comedy, it will be interesting to see their character-driven route in the story. In addition, Jennifer Walters will have a lot of inner struggles with herself and the changes she’s making, which could be an interesting angle to dissect in the series.
The nine-episode series arrives on Aug 18, with long-time MCU star Mark Ruffalo uniting with the Marvel rookie actress. The pair are joined by Tim Roth, Benedict Wong, Charlie Cox, Ginger Gonzaga, and Jameela Jamil in the newest MCU project to reach Disney+.
