Longtime Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo had some kind words for She-Hulk actress Tatiana Maslany earlier this week, and seemed excited to pass the "Banner" to a new star.
"Tatiana Maslany is frickin' legendary as the She-Hulk," Ruffalo told Access Hollywood at a premiere event on Monday. "I'm passing the banner onto her. There's some really good, funny, cool, long, long scenes between the professor and her. We've never really seen the Hulk interact with people the way he does in that show. It'll be really interesting."
Maslany of course takes on the role of She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, cousin of Bruce Banner, and the series is due out sometime in 2022. Bruce Banner/Ruffalo takes on a mentor role for Walters as she comes to terms with her newfound Hulk powers. Ruffalo's comments suggest that Bruce Banner will play a significant role in She-Hulk's rise to superhero stardom, rather than a mere cameo for the actor.
She-Hulk is just one of many Marvel properties coming down the pipe. We've got a new look at Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight, the limb-stretching Ms. Marvel, and even X-Men '97, a revival of the original X-Men cartoon series.
