Tatiana Maslany, known for her role as She-Hulk in the series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, has spoken about a possible return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and what that would involve. In a recent interview on the Bingeworthy podcast, she shared her thoughts on Jennifer Walters and the need for writer Jessica Gao to make a successful comeback work.
Criticism and reception

IGN gave the show an 8/10. Despite the split response, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum has said the series is one of Marvel’s best-performing shows.
Possible future as She-Hulk
Maslany said there are possibilities for her return as She-Hulk, provided the right conditions are met. She said: "I think it would require someone like Jessica Gao to weave her into that world, because she understands that character so deeply and loves her." The comment highlights the strong connection between the character and the writer, as well as the unique voice the show brought to the screen.
The role of Jessica Gao
For Maslany to return in a possible Avengers movie or a second season of She-Hulk, Gao’s involvement would be essential. Maslany said: "It would be a real challenge to see her in a different context, but the joy of She-Hulk lies in her uniqueness." That suggests the character work and writing style Gao brings are crucial to any continuation of the story.
