The show stars Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) as She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, with Mark Ruffalo also reprising his role as Bruce Banner/Hulk. The show is part superhero spectacle and part legal show. It is the latest in a growing library of live-action MCU shows that kicked off in 2020 with WandaVision. 2022 has also seen the release of Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel. Now, they’ve got some company.
Here is the synopsis for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
“In She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany)—an attorney specializing in superhuman-oriented legal cases—must navigate the complicated life of a single, 30-something who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.”
The cast also includes Tim Roth (The Hateful Eight), Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange), Ginger Gonzaga (I’m Dying Up Here), Josh Segarra (The Other Two), Jameela Jamil (The Good Place), Jon Bass (Miracle Workers) and Renée Elise Goldsberry (Altered Carbon). Jamil is playing the main villain, Titania. Roth, meanwhile, is reprising his role as Abomination from The Incredible Hulk. Wong is also returning as Wong, who we last saw in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

TV didn’t used to be a big part of the equation for the MCU. Even shows like Agents of SHIELD were pretty far removed from the movies. However, with the advent of Disney+, the MCU has increasingly included TV as part of the deal. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki and Hawkeye were all deeply rooted in the bigger picture. We’ve also got shows like Ironheart, Armor Wars and Secret Invasion on the way. She-Hulk is just one piece in an increasingly larger puzzle.
Executive producers include Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Kat Coiro, Jessica Gao, Wendy Jacobson and Jennifer Booth. Kat Coiro (The Mick) and Anu Valia (A.P. Bio) directed the series, with Jessica Gao (Rick and Morty) serving as the head writer.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law returns with new episodes Thursdays on Disney+.
