Will Tatiana Maslany return as She-Hulk? The actress responded frankly about the future of the Marvel series, and she is not very optimistic…
If you liked the series She-Hulk: Lawyer, you are certainly on the lookout to find out when Marvel will announce a season 2. But you will be disappointed! Because there are no new episodes on the horizon for the superheroic comedy. This is the news that was shared by Tatiana Maslany herself, who plays the character of Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk, during an interview on the show Codenames Live!
Although She-Hulk earned a pretty decent press-side approval rating of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, it received less-than-enthusiastic reactions from some of the public. And that’s an understatement when we see that the public rating on Rotten Tomatoes drops to 32%. The sanction is even more severe on AlloCiné with an average viewer rating of 1.5 out of 5.
Some Marvel fans objected to the use of CGI, while others found the series “too feminist”. Either way, it’s possible that the series’ viewing figures weren’t very impressive, which would explain why Marvel Studios and Disney+ haven’t announced a sequel.
Does Tatiana Maslany think season 2 will eventually happen? Here’s what the actress said:
I do not believe. I think we went over budget and Disney said, “No thanks.”
She-Hulk’s budget was indeed a problem for Disney, as confirmed Variety last November citing a budget of $25 million per episode. With the show’s main character being entirely CG when she is transformed, an insane amount of work had to be done in each episode.
At the time the series aired, showrunner Jessica Gao revealed that Disney had requested that Jennifer Walters be in She-Hulk form only when absolutely necessary, in order to reduce the cost of production. episodes. But, as Tatiana Maslany indicated in the interview, that may not have been enough for Disney to consider ordering more episodes.
Is She-Hulk canceled?
The series hasn’t been canceled and while it all comes down to whether it makes financial sense to continue, there might be a glimmer of hope. 2024 will be the year that Kevin Feige and his huge team rethink the entire MCU. We’ll learn more about upcoming series and movie sequels as the months go by.
It should be noted that the fact of not having season 2 of She-Hulk on the horizon does not mean that we will not see the character again. Jennifer has already established a connection with Matt Murdoch (Charlie Cox), so it wouldn’t be surprising to see her in the next season of Daredevil: Born Again. Plus, she’s Bruce Banner’s (Mark Ruffalo) cousin, so whatever happens to the Hulk in the future, it’s likely that She-Hulk will be there too.
