She-Hulk. Marvel's heroes who deserve their own movies

Table of Contents

  1. What it should be: a light show like The Flash/Supergirl
  2. What would interest viewers to begin with: selected storylines from Immortal She-Hulk

She-Hulk first appeared in Marvel comics in February 1980. She was created by Stan Lee and John Buscema. The entrance of this superhero was strong - she immediately got her series. Marvel owners wanted to answer the needs of fans bored with schematic characters. In terms of presentation, She-Hulk did not break stereotypes, but her origin was already at least decent.

If you're familiar with Marvel's history, you'll know that She-Hulk was the last character created by Stan Lee before he left. This legendary artist returned only in 1992 with his Ravage 2099. Meanwhile, She-Hulk made a splash, becoming one of the more recognizable heroine. Readers wanted the impossible - a lot of Hulk and even more female characters, while not losing sight of the struggles of the brightest stars. They got everything at once. The superhero, who was a much more exaggerated version of the Hulk (the transformation was not associated with intellectual deficits in her case), became part of the most famous and beloved Marvel teams - The Avengers, A-Force, Fantastic Four, Hulk Busters, Lady Liberators, and even S.H.I.E.L.D.

Recently, word got out that Disney was making a TV series about She-Hulk. Internet sensation seekers quickly announced who will be starring, speculating that Mark Ruffalo (as, of course, Hulk from the movies) will appear in a supporting role or cameo. This news electrified fans and... the actor himself. Ruffalo congratulated Tatiana Maslany, already known from Orphan Black, for the role of She-Hulk in the new series. However, the problem is that quite recently the actress... she categorically denied being involved in the series. She could have been bluffing, but why? Most likely, Marvel found another candidate or Maslany herself gave up this role. At the current stage of production, we still don't know who will portray She-Hulk. Which means we're probably gonna have to wait a little longer for this show.

She-Hulk recently visited one of the most popular mobile games in the world-Marvel Strike Force. It may not break the system, but it works well as a complement to the Fantastic Four. Forestalling doubts - I know, because I have researched it myself (yes, MSF is now my second biggest addiction... okay, first, but looking at Instagram photos of apartments that I'll never be able to afford is also a good idea!). One of the best characters in the game is Emma Frost. The mutant who can turn her body into a diamond has already appeared in films (X-Men: First Class and X-Men Genesis: Wolverine), but her potential remains untapped. Next to Mystique, she could be one of the most ambiguous figures in this group. Perhaps she will appear in a larger role when Disney finally brings the mutants to the MCU.
