Ruffalo in talks about role in upcoming ‘She-Hulk’
HOLLYWOOD star Mark Ruffalo has revealed that he is in “tentative talks” to reprise his role as Hulk, aka Bruce Banner, in the upcoming SheHulk series.
The series is being developed for streaming service Disney+.
At the C2E2 convention in Chicago, Ruffalo told audiences that his popular Marvel Cinematic Universe character might make an appearance in the adaptation of the Hulk spinoff character.
“There’ve been preliminary talks,” he said.
It’s not clear how involved Ruffalo would be in the She-Hulk series, which is in development and slated to release in 2022.
She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, is the cousin of original Hulk. How did she become Hulk?
After Walters received a blood transfusion from Banner, she accidentally took in some of his gamma poisoning and became an intelligent iteration of the Hulk.
Created by Stan Lee and artist John Buscema, She-Hulk first appeared in the February 1980 issue Savage She-Hulk #1. She is also a member of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Defenders and S.H.I.E.L.D..
Emmy-winning Jessica Gao is leading the She-Hulk writing team.
In November, Ruffalo met Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige to discuss future plans for the Hulk.
Speaking at Tokyo Comic Con, Ruffalo said: “Kevin Feige just asked me last week if I had any more ideas or stories for the Hulk.
“And I said, ‘Yeah, I think there’s still some stories to tell.’ And he said, ‘Well why don’t you come in and tell me about them and we’ll see if we can find a place for you in the Marvel universe?’” |
