We learned back in August 2019 that the Disney+ service will be bringing a She-Hulk live-action series out down the line and there’s definitely a lot of interest in how this project will come together. We previously learned in November 2019 that Jessica Gao had come on board as the showrunner for the series to work with Marvel Studios and that Kat Coiro was in negotiations to board the project as the director for the pilot and an undisclosed number of additional episodes.
Last month, Deadline confirmed that Jameela Jamil of The Good Place has joined the project. She’s supposedly playing the character of Titania, which we saw originally in Secret Wars back in 1984 as a normal person drawn into that massive and sprawling event. Unsurprisingly, her reps and Marvel Studios weren’t confirming anything and really haven’t since then. But Jamil has now dropped a new TikTok that she’s also put to Twitter showcasing some of her workout/training for the project and highlighting the MCU elements as expected.
She’ll join series lead Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, along with appearances by Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Tim Roth as The Abomination, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Ginger Gonzaga.

The character of She-Hulk has been done both seriously and silly and has a few plans in-between. With a number of miniseries, takeovers of other series, and series of her own, she’s got an audience but has had a hard time carrying her own title for too long. One of the more interesting ones was the recent series from Charles Soule where it focused on her as a lawyer and dealing with cases involving superheroes, villains, and the like and very grounded in the law itself. That could provide quite the unique hook to expand her into various corners of the MCU.
