She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is ready waiting on the sidelines to become Disney Plus' new hot MCU series once Ms. Marvel wraps up her six-episode run next week. This means more She-Hulk teasers are starting to pop online, including a fresh look at who will likely be Jennifer Walters' main antagonist when she turns green.
Tatiana Maslany will star in She-Hulk starting in August, joined by a few familiar MCU faces such as Tim Roth, Benedict Wong, and, of course, her on-screen cousin played by Mark Ruffalo. However, any superhero also needs a good villain and in Walters' case, it will be Jameela Jamil's Titania. While Walters is often portrayed as a superpowered lawyer wanting to live her life in the most normal way possible, Titania is being teased as quite the opposite, even if these early pictures show a toned-down version of her comic book look.
In next month’s issue of Empire Magazine (via The Direct), Jamil finally gets a proper if slightly blurry reveal that already shows the design differences between MCU Titania and her more colorful iteration from Marvel Comics. In the new photos, Titania is seen with eye shadow used to conceal her face and a full-body dark leotard instead of the purple costume of old. It goes without saying that She-Hulk's own design has found plenty of detractors, as the series’ CGI came under fire when the first trailer premiered, though at least Titania retains her showiness with a cape and plenty of gold here and there on her new costume.
Prior to this, Jamil had shown her new red hair on her social media pages to show her character’s comic book accurate hairstyle. She's also posted some workout videos that show her getting in shape to fight the towering She-Hulk. Beyond this, She-Hulk has been promoted as a legal comedy-drama of sorts, which might have some fans excited over the possibility of seeing her fellow attorney Matt Murdock appear in the MCU once more.
Suffice to say, there are plenty of differences between the Hulk and She-Hulk, so that’s likely to be used as one of the key talking points throughout the series, especially given the current state of Dr. Bruce Banner's transformation within the MCU timeline. As if that wasn’t enough, Titania won’t be the only new character entering Marvel Studios' cinematic lore, as even more unknown faces such as Frog-Man are confirmed to be part of the series.
Disney will be hoping She-Hulk does far better with viewers than Ms. Marvel, considering the teen superhero has secured much lower ratings than any other MCU production, despite receiving rave reviews from most critics even with this week's disappointing episode.
She-Hulk premieres on Disney Plus on August 17, 2022.
