The premiere of Marvel's newest Disney+ offering is looming ever closer, and now She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has another new trailer to keep those excitement levels high courtesy of San Diego Comic-Con. Luckily for those who felt the other recent teasers were lacking, this one definitely has a lot more meat to it, and also a finger.
Unlike the previous trailers for She-Hulk, this new preview offers viewers a much clearer picture of what to expect when the series debuts. Beginning with Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk waking up his cousin Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) via air horn, it's immediately apparent that comedy will play a much bigger role in this series than other Marvel projects. Granted, humor has always been a big part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But until now, it was mostly used to punctuate scenes rather than drive them, which looks to be the case here. Jennifer looking directly at the camera in response to one of Bruce's comments is one particularly hilarious instance of that.
Dividing attention between Jennifer's new life as a superhero and her persisting one as a lawyer, the trailer seems to be offering an alternate take on the classic "balancing superpowers with an ordinary life" formula that many comic book shows and movies have tackled. But in many ways, those two lives converge for her, leading to her role as the face of a new division dealing with a surge of new superhumans (including Tim Roth reprising his role as Abomination from 2008's The Incredible Hulk). The world of Marvel really has a thing for lawyers, it seems.
Along with clips of characters like Jameela Jamil's Titania, the trailer closes out by teasing an appearance from none other than Matt Murdock/Daredevil, played once again by Charlie Cox. While his face is never shown, it's been known for a while now that the character would be making a return to the MCU after Cox appeared as Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home and that there would even be another new Daredevil series on the way. But it certainly makes sense that he would show up in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law given his own lawyer background.
Some may also note that the CGI behind She-Hulk herself looks a bit more refined now compared to the lightly criticized version from the first trailer. It's unclear if there were actual improvements made by the animators or if that's just due to better video quality this time around. But the character's expressive face makes for a much more enjoyable trailer, helping the comedic moments land even better than before. Jennifer giving Bruce the finger while falling off a cliff probably helps cement that status as well.
It looks like there's a lot to look forward to when She-Hulk: Attorney at Law finally premieres on Disney+. The trailer does seem to have that Marvel flair to it, which some might find tiring at this point. But again, it also seems to suggest a more comedic focus, which is pretty much required in a show that will feature a character called Frog-Man.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premieres August 17th on Disney+.
