She’s green with a law degree, and a 6-foot-7-inch shero—Jennifer Walters is ready to fight supervillains and hulk smash her way to your screen!
Marvel has finally given the fans the first full look at their upcoming series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, with Orphan Black actress Tatianna Maslany playing Jennifer Walters, also known as She-Hulk.
In the newly-released trailer, the entertainment company introduced Walters, a lawyer who gets assigned by her boss to be the face of the firm’s superhuman lawyer division.
The almost 2-minute footage also sees Walters visiting her cousin, Bruce Banner, which leads to an experiment that causes Walters to transform into She-Hulk after getting a blood transfusion from Banner, who happens to be the Hulk/Smart Hulk.
The trailer then shows Walters navigating her complicated life as She-Hulk and a single thirty-something lawyer. “I’m not a superhero. That is for billionaires and narcissists and adult orphans for some reason,” Walter says in the clip.
Shortly after the official trailer was released, Marvel fans welcomed She-Hulk: Attorney at Law with mixed reactions. Some fans expressed their excitement about the show, while some users poked fun and gave critics to the trailer, particularly the show’s CGI or computer-generated imagery.

I actually like the tone of #SheHulk. It feels fun. And Maslany is hella talented, that shows.
But my lord you have Gamora. You could’ve used practical effects on her face + body. They literally have the resources.
Maslany too talented to be hidden in that CGI nonsense.

Meanwhile, other Twitter users have also slammed misogynistic and sexist comments about She-Hulk.
M-She-U?!
You damn right it is. I love all the powerful/badass women in the MCU.

I don’t understand the men that are upset about Marvel making women hero centered movies/series? Like y’all do understand She Hulk was a comic right, don’t try and write this off as a “woke” media move. Marvel and DC has always had women protagonist it’s not new!
