Tatiana Maslany Joked About Turning Down Avengers: Doomsday Role, But What’s Actually Happening With She-Hulk?

by

The Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law debuted in 2022, introducing viewers to Jennifer Walters, Bruce Banner’s cousin. The show followed Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk, balancing her newfound powers with her job as a lawyer, her dating life, and a playful habit of breaking the fourth wall. Since the nine-episode series ended, there haven’t been any updates about the character. While Maslany recently made a joke about not being cast in the next Avengers movie, it leaves fans wondering what the future holds for She-Hulk.

How Tatiana Maslany Joked About Avengers: Doomsday

Let’s jump right into the amusing story. While promoting her new show, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (available on Paramount+), on the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast with fellow cast member Tawny Newsome, Tatiana Maslany playfully claimed Ryan Reynolds fired her from Deadpool & Wolverine, leading her to sue him and Disney. She’s made this joke previously, but shared some fresh details when asked about a possible role in Avengers: Doomsday.

No, I won’t be reprising my role as She-Hulk for Disney. I declined their offer, and it’s true – you can find articles confirming this. I was upset about being removed from the project initially, and I’m a strong advocate for feminist ideals. Honestly, I was offended by the idea that they would cast a woman in the role, and I was ashamed to even be associated with it. They wanted me for a big team-up movie, something like ‘Avengers,’ but I refused. I’m making it clear now that I turned them down.

To clarify, Maslany is talking about her experience playing She-Hulk. It’s clear her comments are meant to be lighthearted and not taken literally. However, her playful remarks suggest she likely won’t be making a surprise cameo in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. This leaves fans wondering what’s next for her character, She-Hulk.

What Are The MCU’s Plans For She-Hulk?

When She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was released, Marvel Studios was producing a number of shows for Disney+ with mixed results. While She-Hulk also faced criticism – some directed at the visual effects – Tatiana Maslany’s portrayal of Jennifer Walters was widely praised. Although Maslany indicated in early 2024 that a second season was probably not happening, rumors persisted that Jennifer Walters might appear in a future Avengers movie.

As I mentioned before, Tatiana Maslany hasn’t been officially confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, and unlike with Chris Evans’ return as Captain America, there haven’t been any reports suggesting she will. Also, things were tense between Maslany and Disney last fall when she encouraged people to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions during a public disagreement involving Jimmy Kimmel.

Recently, a playful appearance by Tatiana Maslany on the Comedy Bang Bang! podcast followed a claim that Marvel Studios intends to feature She-Hulk prominently in Avengers: Secret Wars. However, the source, @MyTimeToShineHello, also stated Maslany is unwilling to work with Disney again. If Maslany can’t be persuaded to reprise her role, the character would likely need to be recast or written out of the film. It’s important to remember this is just an unconfirmed rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt.

As a huge Marvel fan, I’m still hoping to see Tatiana Maslany reprise her role as She-Hulk in Avengers: Doomsday – it’s still almost a year away, so there’s definitely time for Marvel to announce her appearance! Right now, she’s mostly just playfully responding to all the online chatter about her portrayal of Jennifer Walters. Honestly, She-Hulk feels a bit forgotten at the moment, and I’m really hoping Marvel brings her back – I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
