A few years ago, odd rumors emerged claiming that Tatiana Maslany’s role as She-Hulk had been cut from the Deadpool & Wolverine project. These stories, including claims she was fired, were false but gained traction on platforms like YouTube. Recently, Maslany has drawn new attention amid speculations that she might have been removed from upcoming Avengers films.
The actress, known for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, became a topic of discussion following her public criticism of Disney. She urged her Instagram followers to boycott the company after talk show host Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and accused the studio of being
“
complicit in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Maslany’s Humor and Ambiguity Surrounding Her MCU Future
Despite the controversy, no official confirmation indicates Disney or Marvel Studios have severed ties with Maslany regarding her returning as She-Hulk in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. Whether Maslany wishes to continue with the role remains unclear. On the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast, she poked fun at previous false reports about being let go in the Deadpool & Wolverine films.
She stated,
I feel an article coming. It’s out there. I already got dragged,
displaying her awareness of the rumors. Continuing her joking tone, she added,
He didn’t like the two scenes that I did, so he fired me, and then I got litigious. I took Disney to court and Ryan Reynolds.
Playful Denial of Returning for Avengers: Doomsday
When asked about her return for Avengers: Doomsday, Maslany maintained her ironic approach. She said,
Nope. Disney has approached me to play She-Hulk again. Guys, I said no. Because I just did. This is the facts,
then insisted,
They’re out there. You can read the articles about it. I was really mad at them for kicking me out of the movie. I was just mad. I’m woke. It’s woke feminist stuff. I was like, ‘How dare you cast a woman in this role? That’s disgusting.’
Furthering her mock refusal, Maslany confirmed,
They really wanted me to be in Doomsday, Avengers-style, or whatever. I turned them down. I’m confirming it here.
While it is likely Maslany’s comments are intended to tease and provoke MCU fans, speculation remains about the real status of her involvement with the franchise.
Fan Reactions and Future Prospects for She-Hulk and Avengers Films
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law holds a critic score of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes but has faced largely negative fan reviews, holding just 32% on Popcornmeter. Debate continues over whether these low scores partially reflect review-bombing similar to what happened with Captain Marvel. The show’s mixed reception adds complexity to Maslany’s role in the Marvel universe.
Looking ahead, Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on December 18, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027. Fans and industry watchers alike will be watching closely to see if Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk will return in these upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe installments.
