Marvel Studios debuts the official series title for Disney+'s She-Hulk with a new poster.
The series starring Tatiana Maslany will be titled She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and is set to premiere on Disney+ on Aug. 17. The poster offers a look at Maslany's She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who "specializes in superhuman-oriented legal cases." According to Marvel, the series will follow Jen as she "navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk."
Marvel recently released the trailer for She-Hulk, offering audiences the first full look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe's newest green hero. She-Hulk stars Maslany as Jen Walters and will follow her career as a public defender in New York City, with Mark Ruffalo reprising his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk. Ruffalo's return to his role as Bruce Banner/Hulk was confirmed by Marvel Studios in 2020, along with Tim Roth's Emil/Blonsky/Abomination, who first appeared in the MCU in 2008's The Incredible Hulk.
With Jessica Gao serving as the head writer, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will be directed by Kat Coiro (Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9) and Anu Valia (Episodes 5, 6, 7). She-Hulk will consist of nine, half-hour episodes featuring a host of MCU guest stars. Apart from Ruffalo and Roth, the cast will also include Benedict Wong as Wong, as well as Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry.
She-Hulk was announced as a Marvel Studios/Disney+ series in 2019 and was later confirmed as a half-hour legal comedy by Marvel Studios president and chief creative officer Kevin Feige. This will be the first MCU series to enter the realm of procedural shows. At the time, Ruffalo had not yet confirmed his role in the series, saying, "There's nothing completely at a place where it's a done deal." He continued, "There's some talk of having Banner/Hulk show up in She-Hulk. If we come up with something good, that would be really interesting. Right now that's about it. That's all there is on the table."
Created by Stan Lee and John Buscema, Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk debuted in Marvel Comics' The Savage She-Hulk #1 in 1980. The character was introduced as the cousin of Bruce Banner, who gained the powers of the Hulk after receiving a blood transfusion from Bruce. However, unlike her cousin, Jennifer stayed in her Hulk form without a transformation, able to continue her everyday life as a lawyer while simultaneously protecting the world as a superhero.
