She-Hulk's Frogman Reveal Fixes A Dark MCU Problem
MCU Phase 4 has a darkness problem and She-Hulk is solving it — thanks to Frog-Man. Ahead of August's grand premier, Marvel has released its first full She-Hulk trailer, giving MCU fans their best look yet at Tatiana Maslany playing Jennifer Walters. Quite apart from her hectic lawyer job (She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is now the show's full title), Walters is unfortunate enough to count Bruce Banner as a cousin, and inherits a green-tinted transformation all her own. Disney +'s She-Hulk trailer demonstrates the interplay between Banner and Walters, reveals Tim Roth's Abomination return, touches upon the delicate dynamic between superhero and super-litigator… and secretly reveals the long-awaited MCU debut of Marvel comics legend (in his head, at least), Frog-Man.
She-Hulk marks another entry in the MCU's rather morose Phase 4. Kevin Feige's franchise is renowned for its ability to balance drama and levity, but recent output has leaned more often toward the former. The specter of Natasha Romanoff's inevitable death hung over Black Widow, while Eternals pitted family members against each other. Spider-Man: No Way Home ended on a soul-crushing note, while Doctor Strange 2 threw Scarlet Witch into the multiverse of sadness. Over on Disney+, WandaVision told a story about grief and loss, while Falcon & The Winter Soldier turned political. Loki thentook audiences on an emotional roller coaster, before Moon Knight revealed its central character was abused during childhood. Unless you're watching Shang-Chi or Hawkeye, MCU Phase 4 has not been a barrel of laughs.
