Actress Tatiana Maslany has reportedly been cast to play the title superhero in Marvel’s She-Hulk series that will debut on Disney+.
Maslany — best known for her starring role in the Emmy-nominated TV series, Orphan Black — will play the main character in the series, Jennifer Walters, according to Deadline.
The Disney+ series will be directed by Kat Coiro, though no release date has been set yet. The series was announced last summer during Disney’s D23 Expo.
Digital Trends reached out to Marvel to confirm Maslany’s casting and an expected release date of the series. We will update this story when we hear back.
She-Hulk was the last major character that Stan Lee co-created for Marvel Comics in 1980.
In the comics, Walters is a talented lawyer and Bruce Banner’s cousin. After she is shot by a mobster, Walters needs a quick blood transfusion. Bruce (better known as the Hulk) happens to be the only person with a compatible blood type who’s nearby.
Unlike the Hulk, however, Walters is able to keep her memories and personality whenever she turns big and green. Throughout the comic series, She-Hulk appears as a member of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four.
The She-Hulk series is just one of many female-lead Marvel characters we have seen in recent years. Other female-led superhero series include the Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, and Captain Marvel, played by Brie Larson. Outside of the Marvel universe, DC Comics has its own female heroes like Wonder Woman, played by Gal Gadot, and Catwoman, which was played by Halle Berry in 2004.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
