This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg and Paul Eaton discuss the first season of the She-Hulk: Attorney At Law now streaming on Disney+.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law was created by Jessica Gao (Rick and Morty, Silicon Valley) based on the Marvel Comics featuring the character She-Hulk. It follows Jennifer Walters played by Tatiana Maslany, a lawyer specializing in cases involving superhumans, who also becomes the green superhero She-Hulk. Gao serves as head writer with Kat Coiro leading the directing team.
Joining Maslany, the show stars Jameela Jamil as Mary MacPherran / Titania, Ginger Gonzaga as Nikki Ramos, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Smart Hulk, Josh Segarra as Augustus “Pug” Pugliese, Mark Linn-Baker as Morris Walters, Tess Malis Kincaid as Elaine Walters, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky / Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong.

The show is the eighth television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. It is the last television series and one of the last projects of Phase Four.
