Questions remain about Tatiana Maslany’s future as Jennifer Walters, also known as She-Hulk, amid speculation regarding her possible return in upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe projects like Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars. Despite persistent rumors fueled by reports of tension between Maslany and Disney, the actress has offered only cryptic responses, leaving fans uncertain about her status in the MCU.
Uncertainty Surrounds She-Hulk’s Role in Future MCU Films
Recent reports suggested that Marvel Studios asked Maslany to reprise her role as She-Hulk in the next Avengers movies, but she allegedly declined due to a strained relationship with the studio. Added to this, Maslany’s past encouragement for fans to cancel Disney+ subscriptions after Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary removal from air sparked further questions about her willingness to continue working with Disney.
Insider scooper MTTSH claimed that while Marvel remains eager to bring Maslany back, the actress reportedly has no interest in returning at this time. This situation has created a predicament for Marvel Studios, which reportedly wants to leverage She-Hulk significantly in Avengers: Secret Wars.
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.
Maslany’s Ambiguous Replies Fuel Fan Speculation
Despite the swirling rumors, Maslany has remained noncommittal when asked about her participation in future MCU projects. Her cautious approach might stem from a desire not to spoil any potential storylines involving She-Hulk’s appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, possibly indicating that negotiations or decisions are still underway.
When questioned about the rumors that she didn’t want to return as She-Hulk, Maslany gave a deliberately vague answer:
You’ll never know. I don’t know. Do you know?

The Mixed Reception of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law received a generally positive response and was considered popular among Marvel shows on streaming platforms, though its unique tone divided the MCU fanbase. Some viewers embraced the show’s humorous and self-referential style, while others found it overly silly, and the season finale was widely viewed as underwhelming.
Even the show’s head writer Jessica Gao acknowledged the difficulties faced during production, especially with the finale’s development. Gao revealed that many alternative endings were explored before settling on the final version, which departed from traditional Marvel climaxes.
We really, really struggled with the finale. We started off doing a lot of versions of the finale that were much more just like straight and very, very Marvel movie, you know, and it just never felt right for us to just end in a big set piece fight, and take out the bad guy, and it just always felt like, ‘Oh, it’s a different show now.’
— Jessica Gao, Head Writer
Overview of She-Hulk’s Story and Cast
