Today, Marvel finally gave us a lengthy look at its upcoming series now titled She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, showing off Tatian Maslany's portrayal of Jennifer Walters in earnest, and dropping a release date of August 17.
Aside from some seemingly accidental teases earlier this year, this is the first full look we've gotten of Maslany in the role as well as a more full look at the character of Walters and the comedic juxtaposition of her role as She-Hulk with her goals to be a serious lawyer.
We also get a look at Mark Ruffalo returning as Bruce Banner, handing off the Hulk role to a reluctant but powerful Walters as she comes to terms with her powers and their intersection with her personal life and career.
Marvel also dropped official poster art for the series:
In the comics Jennifer Walters is a lawyer who is a cousin of Bruce Banner. After an accident, Banner gives Walters a blood transfusion only to discover that it also gave her similar Hulk abilities.
The difference is that Walters is that it is a milder form of his Hulk abilities allowing her to control her emotions and intelligence. Something Banner can now do in the MCU following the events of Avengers: Infinity War.
Alongside Ruffalo, Tim Roth returns as Abomination, looking like he might need some legal advice from Walters.
For those unfamiliar with She-Hulk, our deep dive into the character can help give you a heads up of what to expect ahead of the series' release in August on Disney+.
