She-Hulk Director Teases Marvel Show's Comedic Style
She-Hulk director Kat Coiro explains how she came to develop the Marvel show's comedic style, which looks to be more lighthearted than previous MCU efforts. Much like 2021, Marvel has a packed Disney+ slate planned for 2022. Next up is Moon Knight in March, to be followed by several other shows throughout the year. One such show is She-Hulk, a project that has been in development since 2019. The series will introduce Jennifer Walters to the MCU; in the comics, she's the cousin of Bruce Banner who comes to develop Hulk-like powers of her own after receiving a blood transfusion from him.
She-Hulk will star Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer, while Mark Ruffalo will make his latest MCU appearance as Bruce. The series also stars Ginger Gonzaga, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Jameela Jamil as the villain Titania. Finally, Tim Roth returns to play Emil Blonsky, aka Abomination, following his surprise cameo in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. While much of She-Hulk's cast list has been fleshed out, fans are still waiting on plot details to be released.
