The show looks a lot lighter in tone than recent Marvel projects.
Following the box office success of the Doctor Strange sequel in cinemas now and the conclusion of the much-discussed Moon Knight series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows no sign of slowing down.
Not only do we have the Ms. Marvel series arriving on Disney+ in a few weeks but a first trailer for She Hulk: Attorney at Law has hit the web, in which we see the return of some familiar MCU faces.
In the nine-episode show, Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) plays Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who specialises in cases involving superhumans.
However, she herself gains the ability to be able to turn into a large, powerful, green-hued version of herself after receiving a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo).
Lighter in tone than recent Marvel projects like Doctor Strange 2 and Moon Knight, the She-Hulk teaser mines a lot of comedy from Jennifer’s attempt to balance her personal and work life with her new superhuman abilities.
That said, the show also looks set to tie into the larger MCU as a whole, featuring not only the return of Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner but also Tim Roth’s villain Emil Blonsky aka Abomination.
One imagines some other Marvel stars could appear as well such as Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, who is also a lawyer.
Where will She-Hulk land in JOE’s ranking of all the Marvel Cinematic Universe projects to date? You can find out after it premieres on Disney+ on 17 August.
Check out the trailer below.
