Recently, Tatiana Maslany has been at the center of swirling rumors regarding her future as She-Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly about her participation in upcoming Avengers films. These rumors come after Maslany sparked controversy by urging her Instagram followers to boycott Disney following Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and criticizing the studio for being
“complicit in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.”
The speculation about her being dropped from projects like Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars increased amid this tension.
Maslany’s Playful Take on Past False Reports
Maslany has previously addressed unfounded stories that claimed her She-Hulk character was removed from the film Deadpool & Wolverine. On the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast, she humorously confronted these claims, mockingly suggesting she had been fired and even took legal action against Disney and Ryan Reynolds.
“I feel an article coming. It’s out there. I already got dragged,”
she remarked about the fabricated firing rumors.
“He didn’t like the two scenes that I did, so he fired me, and then I got litigious. I took Disney to court and Ryan Reynolds.”

Speculation Over Maslany Declining Avengers Offers
When pressed by the podcast host if she intends to return for Avengers: Doomsday, Maslany extended the joke in a way that sparked debate among fans about whether she was serious or just teasing. She claimed that Disney had invited her to reprise She-Hulk, but she declined the offer.
“Nope. Disney has approached me to play She-Hulk again. Guys, I said no. Because I just did. This is the facts,”
Maslany said.
“They’re out there. You can read the articles about it. I was really mad at them for kicking me out of the movie. I was just mad. I’m woke. It’s woke feminist stuff. I was like, ‘How dare you cast a woman in this role? That’s disgusting.’
They really wanted me to be in Doomsday, Avengers-style, or whatever. I turned them down. I’m confirming it here.

The Uncertain Future of She-Hulk in the MCU
Maslany’s comments may be an attempt to provoke segments of the Marvel fan community given the ongoing discussions about her role ending in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Despite the show receiving an 80% critic approval on Rotten Tomatoes, audience reaction has been mostly negative, with a 32% score on Popcornmeter, a disparity that has raised questions about review-bombing similar to controversies surrounding Captain Marvel.
Upcoming Avengers Films Set for Late 2020s Release
Fans will have to wait to see how Maslany’s She-Hulk story unfolds as Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to premiere on December 18, and Avengers: Secret Wars will follow on December 17, 2027. Whether Maslany will appear in these films or if her relationship with Marvel Studios continues remains uncertain amid the ongoing tensions.
