‘She-Hulk’ Introducing Another Asgardian To The MCU?

Marvel’s She-Hulk series has wrapped filming in Atlanta (with some extra stuff expected to shoot in Los Angeles), but it looks like another Marvel Comics character is part of the show.

An IMDB listing from stunt woman Angela Lynn Hollis seemingly reveals that Runa from The Mighty Valkyries might be appearing in the show. The first time it’s been hinted that Asgardians or New Asgard could be involved in the show.

Hollis isn’t a new hire for Marvel Studios as she previously worked on Ms. Marvel and The Falcon & The Winter Soldier in Atlanta. Along with recent work on Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam.

Runa is a relatively new character to Marvel Comics and likely won’t have a huge role.

We recently had confirmation of the inclusion of Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery in Shang-Chi, thanks to his stunt double, making these listings something to consider. Kingsley would show up on the red carpet premiere.

The 10-episode series will be directed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia with Emmy-winner Jessica Gao (Rick & Morty) set as head writer. Its crew consists of cinematographer Florian Ballhaus (RED, The Devil Wears Prada), production designer Elena Albanese (Lovecraft Country), costume designer Ann Foley (Godzilla Vs. Kong, Altered Carbon), and stunt coordinator Monique Ganderton (Loki, Avengers: Endgame).

Led by Tatiana Maslany (Black Orphan) as Jennifer Walters, the Disney+ project will officially see the return of Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky aka Abomination (the new updated design recently revealed in Shang-Chi trailer), Mark Ruffalo back as Banner aka Professor Hulk, Jameela Jamil (The Good Place) was recently announced to be playing the super-strong villain Titania, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Amelia, Josh Segarra, and Ginger Gonzaga.

Jennifer is the defense lawyer cousin of Avengers member Dr. Bruce Banner aka Hulk and after a blood transfusion from Bruce is granted her own Hulk powers becoming She-Hulk. 

She-Hulk will debut on Disney+ sometime in 2022.

‘She-Hulk’ Series Adds ‘Altered Carbon’s Renee Elise Goldsberry As Amelia

Marvel Studios was reportedly said to have kicked-off production on their Disney+ series She-Hulk last month in Atlanta, Georgia. The show seems to be still assembling the main cast as a new report from Deadline has revealed that Renee Elise Goldsberry will be playing a character named Amelia.

While not confirmed by Marvel, people have assumed this role could be Amelia Voght, a mutant nurse from the pages of X-Men comics and member of the Acolytes. It’s also possible it could be another character created for the She-Hulk series as while there have been hints to mutants with the introductions of Madripoor and S.W.O.R.D., Marvel hasn’t officially added mutant characters to the MCU.

The American actress is likely best known from the musical Hamilton, the Netflix cyberpunk series Altered Carbon, and Ally McBeal. The latter series is said to be sort of an influence on the legal Marvel project.

She’ll be joining a cast that includes Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner aka Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky aka Abomination, and Ginger Gonzaga as Jennifer’s best friend.

The creative team sees Kat Coiro and Anu Valia directing episodes with Rick & Morty’s Jessica Gao as the head writer.

Walters is a defense lawyer that specializes in superhero and super-villain cases. In the comics, after a life-threatening accident she requires a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner leading to her acquiring her own Hulk abilities. However, unlike Bruce Banner once turned into She-Hulk she remains in her green form similar to how Bruce/Hulk is in Avengers: Endgame. There had been hints we’ll see other Marvel superheroes and lawyers in the series.

Jennifer has joined multiple superhero teams over the years including Fantastic Four, Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., A-Force, and Heroes For Hire.

She-Hulk will debut on Disney+ sometime in 2022.
