Tatiana Maslany Thinks ‘She-Hulk’ Fans Would Riot If She Came Back, But She’s Not Closing the Door

Few Marvel characters have had a stranger post-show journey than Jennifer Walters. Since debuting in the 2022 Disney+ series ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,’ Tatiana Maslany has made headlines repeatedly for comments about her MCU future, none of them especially straightforward. The Emmy-winning actress has spent years navigating a fog of rumors, jokes, and cryptic non-answers that have kept fans perpetually guessing about whether the green-tinted lawyer will ever return to Marvel screens.

Back in 2024, Maslany suggested on a Twitch stream that a second season was unlikely, saying the show “blew our budget” and Disney passed on continuing it. Things got even murkier when she appeared on a comedy podcast and delivered an elaborate, clearly satirical monologue claiming she had personally turned Disney down and been furious at the studio, a bit so deadpan it sent corners of the internet into a spiral. When asked in a February interview with Entertainment Tonight to clarify whether any of that was sincere, her response was a gleefully unhelpful “You’ll never know.”

Now, Maslany is adding another layer to the conversation. Speaking with Mike DeAngelo on The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast while promoting her new Apple TV+ series ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,’ the actress was asked whether Jennifer Walters could work in something as large-scale as an Avengers story, or whether the character makes more sense in her own corner of the universe.

When pressed on whether a second season or a crossover appearance felt more likely, she leaned into the self-deprecating wit that made her show so distinctive in the first place. “I don’t know,” she said. “I think people would be so mad at me being on their screens again.”

Maslany did not shut the door entirely, though, arguing instead that any return would need careful creative stewardship, specifically pointing to series creator Jessica Gao as the person most equipped to preserve what makes the character tick. “I think it would take somebody like Jessica Gao to weave her into that world because she knows that character so deeply and loves her and gets her tone,” Maslany told the podcast.

She went on to describe the joy of ‘She-Hulk’ as lying in what she called its “singularness,” the fourth-wall-breaking narration, the direct audience address, and the satirical legal comedy that made it an outlier in the Marvel catalogue.

That framing underlines a genuine structural challenge. ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ was built around Jennifer Walters as a lead rather than an ensemble player, making any future appearance in a team-up film or crossover series harder to slot in without losing what made the character distinct.

Marvel Television chief Brad Winderbaum has said he loves the show and would like to make more of it, describing it as one of the service’s best-performing titles with general audiences, though no new season or specific return plan has been publicly confirmed.

Earlier in 2026, rumors circulated claiming Maslany had been fired from Marvel Studios altogether, claims she rejected as “disgusting.” As of now, ‘She-Hulk’ has no confirmed role in ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ scheduled for later this year, or ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ in 2027. Whether Maslany is being self-deprecating, strategic, or genuinely uncertain, she has mastered the art of keeping her MCU future in a permanent state of delightful ambiguity.
