The question of whether Tatiana Maslany will reprise her role as Jennifer Walters, also known as She-Hulk, in upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films like Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars remains unanswered. Persistent rumors suggest a strained relationship between Maslany and Disney, fueling speculation about her absence from future MCU projects despite the character’s popularity.
Reports indicate that Marvel Studios showed interest in including She-Hulk prominently in Avengers: Secret Wars, but Maslany reportedly declined a return due to dissatisfaction with Disney. This situation has led Marvel to consider either removing the character from the storyline or recasting the role with another actress.
Tatiana Maslany’s Reserved Response Fuels Speculation
When questioned about whether she would return as She-Hulk in Avengers: Doomsday, Maslany gave an elusive response that only deepened the mystery. Her reply left fans and media unsure if she was confirming her involvement or backing away, highlighting the need for discretion to avoid spoilers.

Maslany’s social media activity has also magnified the tension surrounding her MCU future. Last year, she encouraged followers to cancel subscriptions to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN during a controversy involving comedian Jimmy Kimmel and his comments about political commentator Charlie Kirk. Insider scooper MTTSH suggested Marvel would like Maslany to return, but that she currently has no interest in rejoining the franchise.
The Mixed Reception to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Creative Challenges
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law earned generally positive feedback from audiences and was one of the more frequently watched Marvel shows on the streaming platform. However, the series’ unique tone faced criticism for its humor, which some viewers found overly silly, particularly in the season finale. The show’s head writer, Jessica Gao, openly admitted the creative team struggled to find a satisfying conclusion that balanced Marvel’s traditional style with the show’s quirky uniqueness.
“We really, really struggled with the finale. We started off doing a lot of versions of the finale that were much more just like straight and very, very Marvel movie, you know, and it just never felt right for us to just end in a big set piece fight, and take out the bad guy, and it just always felt like, ‘Oh, it’s a different show now.’”

The Cast and Production Behind She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
The nine-episode series centers on Jennifer Walters, a single attorney in her 30s who balances her life with her alter ego as the green, superpowered She-Hulk. The show features several MCU veterans, including Mark Ruffalo reprising his role as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/The Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong. Other cast members include Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass, and Renée Elise Goldsberry.
Behind the scenes, She-Hulk’s production team features executive producers such as Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Kat Coiro, and Jessica Gao, with Wendy Jacobson and Jennifer Booth serving as co-executive producers. This strong creative leadership contributed to the show’s distinct place within the MCU narrative.
What’s Next for She-Hulk and Tatiana Maslany’s Role in the MCU
The future of Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk remains uncertain as Marvel Studios and the actress navigate their current differences. Whether the character will be recast or written out depends significantly on Maslany’s eventual willingness to work with Disney again. Given the show’s mixed reception and Maslany’s guarded remarks, fans may have to wait for official announcements to learn about She-Hulk’s fate in the MCU.
As the MCU prepares for projects such as Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, the decision surrounding She-Hulk could influence the franchise’s direction, especially considering the character’s unique narrative style that broke the fourth wall and introduced a different tone to the Marvel lineup.
