She-Hulk writer Dana Schwartz took to Twitter to reveal that they have already completed working on the scripts for Disney+’s highly-anticipated MCU series. Because of this, castings might possibly start soon with Marvel Studios reportedly looking for an “Alison Brie-type” actress to portray the role of Jennifer Walters. However, given the world’s current situation right now, production might not begin right away as other upcoming MCU projects like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier are still in temporary production suspension.
The She-Hulk room ended so if you happen to be a showrunner looking for a writer who makes jokes and writes books and knows a lot of historical fun facts, hit me up!!!!

The She-Hulk series was officially announced by Marvel’s chief creative officer Kevin Feige last year along with two other MCU shows Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight. This marks the iconic superheroes’ live-action debut who are also expected to be featured in future MCU films.
The series will be developed and written by Jessica Gao, who is the Emmy-winning scribe behind Rick and Morty‘s acclaimed Season 3 episode “Pickle Rick.”
She-Hulk debuted in Marvel Comics’ “Savage She-Hulk” #1 in 1980, created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema. Her alter ego is Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner/Hulk, who after being shot is provided a blood transfusion from Bruce that turns her into a similar green monster. She later became a member of the Avengers and briefly replaced Ben Grimm in The Fantastic Four.
