Just in time for her upcoming live-action series in the MCU, She-Hulk is quitting the Avengers. Having been an Avengers mainstay for the past few years, Jennifer Walters’ courtroom career seems to be the focal point of the She-Hulk television show. As a result, Rainbow Rowell and Rogê Antônio will relaunch the She-Hulk solo title in preparation for the change in her status quo.
Recently captured and subjected to torture by Russia’s Winter Guard, She-Hulk took a more powerful and rage-filled form as the Winter Hulk in Jason Aaron and Javier Garron’s Avengers. Marvel’s announcement looks as though She-Hulk will be going from “brainwashed Russian superweapon” and back to “green female attorney” as a way of dealing with that recent trauma.
According to a big MCU-style announcement from Marvel, She-Hulk's latest series will be a radical departure from her current status-quo. This announcement points to an exit from the Avengers as She-Hulk prepares for a new lease on life using her skill with the law to defend herself and others. While the Avengers are poised for multiversal adventures in the upcoming "Avengers Forever," and the street-level heroes will do battle with a focused and extremely dangerous Mayor Kingpin in "Devil's Reign," She-Hulk will be leaning on her unique abilities in the courtroom as long as she can keep her rage in check. Having already dealt with the TVA (Time Variance Authority) and the Kingpin's minions before, it may be the most useful place she can be.
While details are forthcoming, She-Hulk is expected to air on Disney+ in 2022. Staring Tatiana Maslani (Orphan Black) as Jennifer Walters, Jameela Jamil (The Good Place) as Titania, and Ginger Gonzaga (Space Force) as Jennifer Walter's best friend, the show is billed as a half-hour legal comedy. With its list of talented comedic actresses, She-Hulk seems to be mirroring the feel of comic writer Dan Slott's She-Hulk run of the mid-2000s, centering on a sophisticated, well-connected lawyer in a world filled with super-heroes.
With the MCU expanding its multiverse, the upcoming She-Hulk series could be a unique way to showcase rules between interlocking characters and worlds. For instance, a legal perspective could be a nuanced way to break down a heavily bureaucratic organization like the TVA operating throughout Loki. After leaving the Avengers, who better than She-Hulk to provide the brains and the brawn to make a difference in a bold new multiverse as she makes her way to live-action. Avengers #48 is on sale now.
