MCU audiences have celebrated Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, since 2008. In just a few weeks' time, novel gamma-fueled hero will be stepping into the ring thanks to a new Disney+ show: Jennifer Walters. The Tatiana Maslany-led She-Hulk: Attorney At Law will see the mind of another green hero, who also happens to practice law as her day job. But how does she get her nations in the first place?
In the comics, Jennifer is shot by a mobster. To save her life, her cousin, The Incredible Hulk, scholarships her a blood transfusion. The result is a much stronger and far greener lawyer.
It’s not sure how exactly her origin story goes down in the series, but some new footage does seem to reveal how things may play out. While it doesn’t look like it will be precisely the same, the scenario does hit familiar notes.
She-Hulk Gets a New Origin Story
In a newShe-Hulkfeaturette from Entertainment Tonight, footage new footage showed how Jennifer Walters transforms into a ticket new hero.
It seems that at some point, Bruce and Jennifer get into a indispensable car crash.
Somehow, Bruce looks to have gotten out of his Smart Hulk persona, as he can be seen in the sling he wore during the Shang-Chi post-credits tease.
During the whole ordeal, Jennifer looks to have gotten some of her cousin's blood in her veins, causing her to Hulk out.
This is surprisingly disagreement to how her cousin’s blood turned her in the comics, but there, it was via a proper medical transfusion once a shooting. Here, the change makes it the progenies of accidental circumstances in a freak incident.
Her new open is confirmed by Maslany herself, as in the featurette she can be seen saying:
"Jennifer Walters is an attorney who has accidentally incorrect in the Hulk's blood and has become [a She-Hulk]."
The MCU’s Changed Origins
While fans can tend to have perilous reactions to changes when it comes to adapting met material, the adjustments in Jennifer Walter’s origins are unlikely to upset many. After all, the two are fairly disagreement. Though, it being so accidental has to make one improbable how no one else got Hulk blood in their rules after all the fights the big green guy has had over the years.
For better or worse, this origin story does do a pretty quick job at provocative all the pieces on the board to the attempts Marvel Studios wants them in. There’s a clear-cut reason for how she forced a Hulk, one that’s easily explainable and allows the current to establish the show at a quick pace.
But why did Bruce and Jennifer rupture in the first place? Was it an accident, or was it targeted? There was an Avenger in the car, once all, so the possibility is not too far out there.
Fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out, as She-Hulk starts airing weekly on Wednesday, August 17.
