She-Hulk Recast Rumors Swirl for Secret Wars

Speculation is mounting that Marvel may be considering a recast for the iconic role of She-Hulk. This comes as actress Tatiana Maslany, who portrayed Jennifer Walters in the 2022 Disney+ series 'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law,' has seen her character largely absent from pre-release buzz for 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars.' Unconfirmed reports suggest Maslany may not be interested in reprising the role for the latter, despite concept art indicating Jennifer Walters' presence.

Several factors could contribute to Maslany's potential reluctance. She has recently committed to the upcoming Apple TV+ series 'Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed' and is also set to appear in 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy,' along with the films 'The Comedy Hour' and 'The Young People.' Furthermore, the 'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law' series itself encountered significant fan criticism, particularly concerning its comedic tone and special effects. Maslany previously addressed such backlash, stating a preference to focus on more positive interactions.

Maslany has also publicly voiced her concerns regarding Disney's business practices. Her past actions, including encouraging subscription cancellations for Disney-owned platforms, may indicate a broader stance. While she has expressed pride in her work as Jennifer Walters, it appears she may be moving on from the character permanently, potentially paving the way for a new She-Hulk in future Marvel cinematic endeavors.
