Tatiana Maslany MCU exit rumors have resurfaced as new reports indicate the She-Hulk actress is unlikely to return for future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. The speculation follows recent suggestions that Maslany’s absence could significantly alter plans for upcoming Avengers films.
Major crossover events like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars are on the horizon, aiming to bring together established heroes and the latest MCU additions. Simu Liu as Shang-Chi and Florence Pugh portraying Yelena Belova are expected to take center stage in these movies. However, Tatiana Maslany’s character, She-Hulk, is noticeably absent from preliminary cast discussions, raising uncertainty about her future involvement.
According to leaks attributed to MyTimeToShineHello, She-Hulk was originally slated to play an important part in Avengers: Secret Wars. The situation appears complicated by Maslany’s lack of interest in collaborating with Disney, which owns Marvel Studios.
Marvel Studios wanted to use She-Hulk in a big way for Avengers: Secret Wars. The problem is that Tatiana Maslany has no interest in working for Disney. If they’re unable to convince her to return, the options are to remove the character altogether or recast the role.

If Marvel Studios cannot persuade Maslany to return, producers are reportedly considering either removing She-Hulk from upcoming stories or finding a new actor for the role. Both options would mark significant changes for fans of the character and the wider franchise.
Underlying Tensions Between Tatiana Maslany and Disney
While comments directly from Maslany are not cited, recent controversy involving Disney appears to be at the core of her reluctance. The conflict seems linked to Disney’s decision regarding Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks following the death of political figure Charlie Kirk. Public reports note Maslany’s vocal opposition to the company’s handling of this issue, which led her to publicly advocate for boycotting Disney-related streaming platforms, including Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN.
This discord is not isolated to Maslany. Oscar Isaac, known for his role as Moon Knight, also expressed hesitancy to continue working with Disney due to the same controversy. The potential absence of both Maslany and Isaac poses new challenges for Marvel Studios as they plan their ensemble casts for future projects.
What Awaits Avengers and the MCU Without She-Hulk?
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for a theatrical release in December 2026, leaving Marvel Studios a limited window to address these casting uncertainties. The impact of Maslany’s possible departure extends beyond just the She-Hulk storyline, threatening to reshape the makeup of crossover events like Secret Wars and influencing how established and new characters like Shang-Chi and Yelena Belova are positioned within the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As Disney navigates this period of tension and reevaluation, the franchise’s direction and the fate of beloved characters remain in question. Fans and industry observers alike will be watching closely for further updates on who will return to shape the future of the MCU.
