Jennifer Walters enters the MCU in this first look for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Out of the original lineup of Marvel Studios movies, the one film that never got a sequel was The Incredible Hulk. That’s because the solo Hulk movie rights are still tied up with Universal, while Marvel had the rights to use Bruce Banner’s alter ego as a supporting character in other MCU films. Fortunately, that deal did not extend to television, which is why She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will finally get to expand the MCU’s Hulk mythos for the first time since 2008. But make no mistake: She-Hulk is much more than just a female Hulk.

Tatiana Maslany stars in the series as Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and the closest thing that he has to a sister. When the series begins, Jennifer is a successful Deputy District Attorney and blissfully free of any superhuman abilities. But in the preview clip below, we get to see where Jennifer’s life went off track as she and Bruce find themselves facing an unexpected threat.

Although the circumstances are different from Jennifer’s comic book origin, the result is the same: The intermingling of Jen’s blood and Bruce’s blood passes on his gift and his curse. It’s unclear if a blood transfusion from Bruce could create an army of Hulks. But just a little bit of his blood has transformed Jennifer. And she really isn’t happy about that.

In the next clip, Bruce attempts to show Jennifer the ropes while training her in how to utilize her immense strength. However, Jennifer has no interest in becoming a superhero. That said, Bruce is also able to show her the upside of being a Hulk.

The problem with Jennifer’s secret identity is that she doesn’t have one. Everyone knows she’s the She-Hulk. But with that misfortunate also comes opportunity. Because of her legal expertise and her powers, the law firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway has hired Jen to become the new face of its superhuman law division. This means that she’s going to leverage some of her fame in the firm’s new TV campaign, which you can see below.

Disney+ and Hulu drop first trailer for Marvel’s Echo

Among the upcoming Marvel Studios original series, Echo has been one of the question marks because its leading character, Maya Lopez, is not a headlining heroine in Marvel's comics. However, the first trailer for Echo has been released by Disney+ and Hulu (which will both stream the series), and the first footage goes a long way towards winning us over by heavily leaning into the show's TV-MA rating. Especially when Maya's former guardian, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio), brutally beats a man as Maya looks on.

Marvel used AI to create Secret Invasion’s opening credits — and it looks awful
secret invasion ai used to create opening credits

For the most part, Marvel Studios' original series have featured intriguing and well-designed credit sequences that played at the end of each episode. However, Marvel's newest Disney+ show, Secret Invasion, has bucked that trend in an unfortunate way. Following a tense introductory scene with Martin Freeman's Everett K. Ross, the first episode leaps into an opening credits sequence that was created with AI. And it is astonishingly awful.

While speaking with Polygon, Secret Invasion director and executive producer Ali Selim shared his belief that this AI-generated monstrosity served the needs of the show.
