Deadline is reporting exclusively that Tatiana Maslany of Orphan Black has joined the cast of Disney+’s new series She-Hulk as the titular Marvel character. She-Hulk, also known as Jennifer Walters, is the cousin of Bruce Banner (The Hulk) in the comic series. Unlike Banner, she does not experience the signature rage that The Hulk does, leading to her ability to fully utilize her powers while remaining in control. While Marvel has not released a comment, Mark Ruffalo commented on the casting and confirmed Maslany is the choice for the character.
