5 Potential Clients For She-Hulk To Defend In The MCU
Granted abilities from an emergency blood transfusion given by her cousin Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Incredible Hulk, experienced attorney Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk is a world-class lawyer, specializing in superhuman legal cases. Though the nature of Jennifer's MCU origin is currently unclear, the legal aspects of the superheroine will remain well intact for the upcoming ten-episode Disney + comedy series.
As She-Hulk navigates the world of superhuman law hailing from San Francisco, Jennifer will likely run into a handful of familiar as well as new Marvel faces. The Avengers may have some of the smartest minds and strongest begins on their roster but they're missing a key asset in legal protection.
5. X-Con Security Consultants
Introduced in 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp, X-Con Security Consultants is a security operation with a focus on devices and technology founded by the former thief turned superhero Scott Lang a.k.a. Ant-Man alongside fellow reformed felons Luis, Kurt, and Dave.
Given their hardships in finding stable income due to their pasts, Scott, Luis, Kurt, and Dave's X-Con was kickstarted as a means to pay the bills and bright in order to help with their source of income to coincide with Scott's turn to heroism. However, given the events of Thanos' dreadful snap in Avengers Infinity War, it's unknown what became of X-Con and a promising future of booming business.
Marvel's sophomore Disney Plus series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has already given a glimpse into the world's financial state following the blip, which may force our citizens of society to resort to former illicit criminal ways in order to keep themselves afloat. While X-Con is based in San Francisco, it may be a matter of time before X-Con runs into another California resident in Jennifer Walters.
4. 3-D Man
A former U.S. test pilot, Charles Chandler found himself abducted by the shape-shifting Skrulls and caught in an explosion, which merged his remaining consciousness with that of his brother Hal (via sunglasses).
Following the unique transformation, fitted himself the costumed identity of the 3-D Man in order to combat the Skrulls and other supervillains. If 3-D Man finds his way into the She-Hulk series, a subpoena for the Skrull Empire could be in the making.
While Chandler has yet to make an MCU appearance, the shape-shifting Skrulls are very much established and look to become an even greater force for evil in the future. Given Chandler's original background as a pilot, a past connection with the Skrulls' main adversary/ally Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel may be an opening for an introduction.
3. Valkyrie
Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie has come a long way since her days as a bounty hunter on the trash planet of Sakaar. Following a spiritual awakening, Thor has granted Valkyrie the keys to his own kingdom of New Asgard, which is located in Tonsberg, Norway.
However, an entire kingdom placed right in the middle of American soil might raise a few eyebrows from either the government or an environmental agency or two.
While Thompson will be reprising the role of Valkyrie in Taika Waititi's forthcoming Thor Love and Thunder, it remains to be seen what the recently instated King of Asgard's role will be, with Thor as the lead and Natalie Portman returning as Jane Foster who may or may not take up the God of Thunder's mantle.
A Valkyrie appearance in She-Hulk will not only help to continue to flesh out the character but expand on the repercussions laid by Avengers Endgame.
2. The Wrecking Crew
Though She-Hulk has her moralistic values, the superhero lawyer is not against representing certain villains in court either. Dirk Garthwaite, Eliot Franklin, Henry Camp, and Brian Calusky were a group of low-life felons turned into god-like beings by the Asgardian sorceress Karnilla.
Rather than fight for good, The Wrecking Crew simply use their newfound strength to simply rob banks and scheme their way to the top.
Though their plans may seem small scale, the powers and abilities of The Wrecker (Garthwaite), Bulldozer (Camp), Thunderball (Franklin), and Piledriver (Calusky) are not anything to take lightly. The Wrecking Crew has posed a threat for not only She-Hulk but a variety of Marvel superheroes including Thor, Spider-Man, The Avengers, and Alpha Flight.
Heavily rumored for the series, She-Hulk could serve as a solid entryway for the villains before launching The Wrecking Crew into MCU feature films... and prison.
1. Abomination
Alongside Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, another familiar face from the Hulk realm of the Marvel Universe will be returning in She-Hulk, in the form of Tim Roth's Emil Blonsky a.k.a. The Abomination.
Confirmed to be returning during Disney's monumental 2020 Investor Day, a fully evolved Abomination will make an early appearance in September's Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Many fans have been clamoring for more Abomination ever since 2008's The Incredible Hulk but the classic villain hadn't been seen since, aside from vague mentions and callbacks.
Now that Blonsky is back, revenge will more than likely be on his mind; only it may not be via a giant brawl through the city... but in the courtroom. Walters having to defend Blonsky against her own cousin would present a great conflict for the series at large.
As the premier defense attorney for Marvel's countless heroes and villains, there is no limit to the characters posied to appear throughout the series' ten episodes. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige even hinted at such during the 2020 Disney Investor Meeting.
Aside from the Hulk and Abomination, several MCU veterans are likely to show up during the series and there is a precedent for cameos given Jennifer's profession.
As the MCU continues to expand beyond The Avengers, superhumans are now taking the initiative to save the world without needing to suit up in a costume. As principal photography for She-Hulk is now underway in Atlanta, expect casting news for Marvel Studios veterans to trickle in.
