Rick and Morty writer Jessica Gao has also recently been announced as the lead of the writers room.
Created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema in February 1980, She-Hulk aka Jennifer Walters is a top attorney. Her transformation occurred thanks to an emergency blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner, who’s gamma infused blood triggered a milder version of his powers. Walters however still retains her emotions and intelligence when she transforms to her alter ego.
She-Hulk is set to join a raft of upcoming Marvel series on streaming service Disney+, with Wandavision coming potentially December 2020 and Falcon and the Winter Soldier recently restarting production. Other shows include Moon Knight and Ms Marvel.
