Tatiana Maslany Desires a Serious She-Hulk

Tatiana Maslany Discusses Future of She-Hulk Amid Daredevil Excitement

With "Daredevil: Born Again" just around the corner, fans are buzzing. Tatiana Maslany, known for her role as She-Hulk, recently weighed in on the speculation about her inclusion. The series appears to be distancing itself from the lighthearted tone of She-Hulk’s portrayal, which divided fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

She-Hulk’s Absence in Daredevil

News recently broke that She-Hulk won’t appear in "Daredevil: Born Again." Disappointment followed among those who enjoyed the character’s unique flair. Although the quirky version didn’t hit the mark for everyone, some hope for a more serious rendition. The absence of She-Hulk and the lack of a Season 2 raises questions about Marvel’s strategic direction.

Tatiana’s Thoughts on Crossing Over

While promoting her project "The Monkey," Maslany was asked about her thoughts on "Daredevil: Born Again" omitting her series. She expressed enthusiasm at potentially working alongside Charlie Cox’s Daredevil.

"Would I be born again? Absolutely," Maslany mused. "He was great fun, and the shift in tone kept the character’s essence intact." She continued, highlighting how Daredevil’s integration into a different tonal space was both creative and respectful to his origins. Maslany acknowledged the possibility of She-Hulk taking on a more serious demeanor, agreeing with the suggestion.

Showrunner’s Stance on She-Hulk’s Inclusion

Showrunner Dario Scardapane candidly addressed She-Hulk’s absence. He explained his approach to crafting "Daredevil: Born Again," which involves selective integration of MCU events.

“There’s flexibility until the wider MCU blueprint comes into play," Scardapane noted. He expressed that the show aims to establish Daredevil with a distinct dilemma and specific storyline. While acknowledging Daredevil’s place in the MCU, he confirmed some events would be sidelined, like Daredevil’s brief encounter with She-Hulk.

Future Prospects for She-Hulk

The future of She-Hulk seems uncertain within the Marvel landscape. With no plans to re-introduce Maslany’s character soon, a more serious take remains only speculative. Meanwhile, "Daredevil: Born Again" has been reimagined to reflect the intensity of its Netflix predecessor. The series promises a darker, more violent tone, steering clear of She-Hulk’s humorous angle.

Set to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, "Daredevil: Born Again" teases a fresh chapter for the iconic character. Fans eagerly await how this shift will impact the MCU’s narrative tapestry.
