Marvel’s Next Must-Watch Series Is the Perfect She-Hulk Replacement—Confirmed for This Year

BBG News

As a devoted Marvel enthusiast eager for more legal escapades and superhero satire, I might not have to hold my breath until She-Hulk Season 2 for my fix. A forthcoming Disney+ series slated for release later this year seems tailor-made to satisfy the void left by Jennifer Walters, offering a delightful blend of humor and self-referential commentary reminiscent of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Although She-Hulk Season 2 has yet to receive an official go-ahead, this upcoming show promises to fill the gap in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s streaming schedule.

It seems that with Season 2 of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” appearing less and less probable, Marvel enthusiasts might have already found an appealing alternative. As the last MCU series scheduled for 2025, “Wonder Man” is poised to offer numerous similar aspects that made “She-Hulk” so captivating. The show features Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, a superpowered individual maneuvering through the peculiarities of the entertainment industry in Hollywood.

Located in Los Angeles and brimming with satire, humor, and self-referential commentary, the upcoming series Wonder Man is anticipated to continue the tradition set by She-Hulk, featuring a similar meta narrative style and comedic atmosphere.

Just like She-Hulk, Wonder Man will delve into the theme of fame within a superhero universe. It reintroduces Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery, another notable figure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is said to include numerous cameos from other Marvel characters. This series falls under the Spotlight banner, alongside Echo, making it accessible for newcomers without requiring extensive knowledge of the MCU.

In the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday,” it’s anticipated that Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk will reappear in a key role. Meanwhile, fans eagerly await the arrival of Wonder Man, who is expected to deliver a new and suitable take on the unique style that was showcased in her solo series.

In spite of not having a guaranteed sequel, Season 1 of She-Hulk garnered largely positive responses from critics, commending Maslany’s acting and the show’s unique comedic approach within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, some critics noted that the series had difficulties fully embracing its legal sitcom format or managing its numerous plotlines, with certain CGI effects causing minor distractions for viewers. The show also demonstrated impressive viewership numbers, placing among the most popular new shows during its premiere and becoming one of Disney+’s top-streamed originals in 2022.

She-Hulk’s Future: What’s Next?

In the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday“, there’s speculation that She-Hulk might reappear. One hypothesis suggests that Jen, She-Hulk’s human persona, could be the lawyer that Captain America consults during a potential trademark dispute between his New Avengers and the government-supported team presented in “Thunderbolts*“. Although the legal squabble may not unfold on screen, it could set up a prior relationship that sees She-Hulk joining the group as both a legal advisor and a super-powered comrade.

As a dedicated movie fan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for the news about Tatiana Maslany potentially returning to the MCU, but alas, her name was conspicuously absent from the initial reveal of the Doomsday cast. This has stirred some uncertainty among fans like myself. Marvel Studios is indeed undergoing major transformations, particularly in their television division, which could potentially impact the continuation of series such as She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, and even Ms. Marvel. This development leaves us fans with a sense of anticipation tinged with doubt.
