‘She-Hulk’ Star Updates on Potential MCU Return!!

Some Marvel characters arrive, save the day, and then get neatly folded into the next crossover. Others leave behind a much stranger question mark. This one has not been seen in the MCU since her Disney+ debut, but the conversation around her has never exactly gone quiet. Between the fan backlash, the defenders, the meta finale, the budget chatter, and the lingering possibility of a future crossover, it has always felt like a return was possible, even if nobody seemed entirely sure what shape it would take.

Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black, Perry Mason) has now weighed in on a potential return as Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, and her answer makes it clear that she would not want the character simply dropped into a random Marvel crossover without the right creative voice behind it. Speaking on The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast while promoting her new Apple TV series Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Maslany joked about the reaction to her coming back before explaining what would make a return feel right.

“I don’t know. I think people would be so mad at me being on their screens again,” Maslany said. “What I think is so special about the character is Jessica Gao’s writing and the tone that she brought to the show. I think if She-Hulk were to be in an ensemble, that tone has to be honored.”

Maslany expanded on that idea, saying any future MCU appearance would need someone who really understands Jennifer Walters’ voice, especially if Marvel wants to move her into a bigger ensemble setting. Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum recently pushed back against the idea that the show was a failure, saying it was one of Marvel’s best-performing Disney+ series and reached a broader general audience despite the negative online response. He also said he would “love to make more,” though Marvel has not officially announced a second season.

“Yeah. I mean, I don’t know,” Maslany said. “I think it would take somebody like Jessica Gao to weave her into that world because she knows that character so deeply and loves her and gets her tone, but there is something about She-Hulk being the star of her own show that makes sense. Do you know what I mean? Because of the direct address, she is our narrator. So, I think it would be a real cool challenge to see her in some other context, but I do think like the sort of joy of She-Hulk is in the singularness of it.”
