She-Hulk on Disney+: her first appearance, an abandoned film project … 3 things you need to know about the XXL heroine

She-Hulk, played by Tatiana Maslany, enters the MCU. The superhero series takes the form of a procedural program with enough humor and action. On the screen we meet especially Jamila Jamil, Benedict Wong or even Tim Roth, who are already in The Incredible Hulk with the mask of the abomination.

Miss Hulk, much less famous than her cousin Bruce Banner, still knows a lot of history before this series project. Back to the three things you need to know about a lawyer with herculean powers.

Almost eighteen years after the creation of the Hulk, a female version appeared on comic book shelves in February 1980 with the first issue of the title. Savage She-Hulk #1. It is made with the encouragement of one of the most famous Marvel designers, Stan Lee and John Buscema.

If the blood transfusion is at the root of the transformation of Jennifer Walters, the origin of the heroine is somewhat different from the series. There are no car accidents in comics. Criminal Nick Trask’s henchman is shot by a lawyer while in the company of Bruce Banner.

After a blood transfusion, he is taken to the hospital, but Nick Trask’s minions seek him out to finish the job. As they try to strangle him, Jennifer Walters wakes up and unleashes her alter ego, She-Hulk.

There is a very specific reason behind creating a character. In the 1970s, the TV series The Man Who Was Worth Three Billion became a hit. It engages millions of viewers and spans five seasons. The success is such that a female spin-off is born, The Bionic Woman or Super Jaimie in the French version.

Released in 1976, this new version would have less than three seasons. This recipe inspired the writers of The Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno. They, in turn, want to create a female version of the green hero.

Rumors are reaching the ears of Marvel executives. If a female Hulk sees the light of day on the small screen, it will be impossible to get the rights to launch her own version. It was at this time that Stan Lee decided to write the first issue.

In 1991, the production company New World Pictures – behind many horror films such as Hell, house and Halloween 4 – decides to make a solo film about the heroine. 80’s star Bridget Nielsen has been chosen to portray Jennifer Walters. Director Larry Cohen has also been hired.

The promotional photos – which recently surfaced online – feature the actress He hulk With an ’80s-inspired aesthetic, the project will unfortunately never go into production for reasons still unknown.

It will take more than 30 years to see admission He hulk on screens. The series is currently available on Disney+.
