The long road to bring She-Hulk to live action

Between that year and the next, the behind-the-scenes creative team was formed and the first link between Tatiana Maslany with the role The Canadian actress denied having been booked for the role, but Kevin Feige ended up confirming it shortly after.

According to information prior to the release of the series, Mark Ruffalo would come back like Hulk, albeit with a minor and brief appearance. The Golden Globe-winning actor has brought this character to life since avengers (2012) and his most recent recorded appearance was in Shang-Chi and the legend of the Ten Rings (2021), where he was seen as Bruce Banner and no longer transformed as smart-hulk. This latest version of the Avenger is the one we will see in the next television fiction focused on Jennifer Walters.
