She-Hulk, created by writer Stan Lee, and artist John Buscema, is part of the Marvel Comics universe. Now the character has been selected by the Marvel Cinematic Universe for her very own TV show. If you are new to the Marvel Universe, 'She-Hulk' is the alter ego of Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Hulk aka Bruce Banner. You may wonder how she obtained her hulk-like powers — don't worry we got your back. After Walters was accidentally exposed to the blood of her cousin, she gains powers similar to that of the Hulk.

'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' is being helmed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia and is written by Jessica Gao. Jennifer Walters has to juggle her two worlds, one being a superhero and the other being a single girl finding a boy. Professionally, she is an attorney but things get a bit tricky when she is asked by her boss to merge her 'normal' self with her Hulk self while being an attorney. We will find out how she handles that, once the Marvel series releases.

What is the plot of 'She-Hulk'?

As per the original synopsis of the show, "Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany)—an attorney specializing in superhuman-oriented legal cases—must navigate the complicated life of a single, 30-something who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk." 

What is the buzz around 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'?

According to USA Today, when she was asked about how is it like being the She-Hulk, Tatiana Maslany said, "There's something about the duality of a woman occupying two different bodies. Maslany also played multiple clones during her Emmy-winning stint on 'Orphan Black'. “Culturally, we're so obsessed with women's bodies in terms of control, projection, ownership, aesthetic, all of this stuff. Exploring that feels very prescient, and (it's) very rife with interesting nuance.”

During San Diego Comic-con, Maslany was asked about Daredevil's role in 'She-Hulk' as seen in the teaser. She fanned the curiosity by saying, "I don't want to say anything. I just want to say that it was — I think the fans will be really happy. Because he's amazing. He's really amazing."

Jessica Gao, the executive producer and the writer of the film told IGN at Comic-con: “This was unprecedented, you know, because they (Marvel) have never made a TV show where the lead character is completely CG when she’s the title character, and when we first started, we really didn’t have a plan or know how we were gonna do it. We just knew we were gonna do it and I just figured ‘Look, it’s Marvel, they know what they’re doing, they’re gonna figure it out. I’ll just let them do it. I’ll just write my little scripts.’" Gao further goes on to say that it has been a process of trial and error, they have been a couple of growing pains, and if they had to do it all over again they would think long and hard about how often they'd want a CG character on screen but at last, she is glad that it all worked out.
