We get another look at the players in She-Hulk’s world prior to the show’s launch.
With She-Hulk: Attorney at Law landing this Thursday, the 18th of August (note day change Marvel fans), Disney+ are pushing the show with a further promo. This one plays up the fun, the weird and the show’s MCU connections.
Here’s the show’s premise:
Directed by Kat Coiro (Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9) and Anu Valia (Episodes 5, 6, 7) with Jessica Gao as head writer, Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.
The nine-episode series welcomes a host of MCU vets, including Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong.
Those “MCU vets” are up front and centre for this new promo:
It also introduces Madisynn, who we haven’t met before but who appears in a courtroom setting – possibly as a client of Jennifer’s? She also appears to have some connection to Wong, enough to make him put his head in his hands when she schools the room on her name’s unusual spelling.
To end, Jennifer breaks the fourth wall again, extolling you to remember whose show it actually is.
Call My Lawyer!
From a different angle, there’s also a promo which reminds us that this is a “lawyer show” with the accent on Jennifer’s work life:
MCU overload?
In the meantime, Mark Ruffalo has been out promoting the show. Thanks to Metro, he’s weighted in on the question of whether there’s too much Marvel content for viewers to handle. Here’s his response:
“It’s not something I worry about. I understand that these things run their course and then something else comes along. But the thing Marvel has done well is that, inside the MCU, just as they do with comic books, they let a director or an actor sort of recreate each piece to their own style, their likeness. Marvel generally lets them bring that to the material.
If you watch a ‘Star Wars,’ you’re pretty much going to get the same version of ‘Star Wars’ each time. It might have a little bit of humor. It might have a little bit of different animation. But you’re always, really, in that same kind of world. But with Marvel, you can have a whole different feeling, even within the Marvel Universe.”
Well, we’re certainly expecting that “different feeling” with She-Hulk!
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law lands on Thursday 18th August has runs for nine weeks.
