She-Hulk director Kat Coiro talks about the creative process that led to her landing the massive MCU gig.

Thanks to the digital service, the MCU has been able to help flesh out some previously established characters while also opening the door for newer faces. One of the upcoming Marvel Studios originals debuting later this year is another Hulk family member with Tatiana Maslany bringing Jennifer Walters, a.k.a. She-Hulk, to life.
While not a lot has been revealed about She-Hulk, the series will follow Jennifer, Bruce Banner's cousin, who is a lawyer dealing with superhuman cases.

Mark Ruffalo, who has portrayed Hulk for a decade, will also star in the She-Hulk series alongside Tim Roth's Abomination, who re-emerged earlier in Phase 4 during Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Despite no premiere date being set yet for She-Hulk season 1, the series is expected to arrive in the middle of the year.
