Marvel will add new paths to its Cinematic Universe (MCU) with the premiere of She-Hulk which is set for release on DisneyPlus this week.
‘She-Hulk’ season 1: Here’s what to expect
Comic influencers and media insiders who were privileged enough to watch She-Hulk season 1 before its release finally had the opportunity to share their thoughts after the embargo was lifted in line with the show’s red carpet event on Monday.
Already, prominent figures in the world of Marvel content creators are singing high praise for the series on social media.
Matt Ramos, renowned to his 2.8 million+ subscribers as ‘Supes’, tagged She-Hulk as “the best Marvel Disney Plus show so far,” four episodes into the series.
From what we understand, She-Hulk fans can expect:
The ‘Donny Blaze’ easter egg
MCU fandom has been raving about an easter egg found in a recently released featurette of the show. In the teaser, Wong (played by Benedict Wong) is seen fighting demons in front of an open portal. In the midst of the fight, the camera catches a glimpse of a poster hoisted on the corner of a stage.
While it’s hard to make out, fans are convinced the poster reads ‘Donny Blaze’ and may be an easter egg planted by Marvel to tease the ultimate Johnny Blaze (Ghostrider) crossover.
Tatiana Maslany nails her role
Those with early access to She-Hulk have been raving about Tatiana Maslany’s interpretation of Jennifer Walters, the show’s eponymous hero.
“Tatiana Maslany IS Jennifer Walters and is one of the most charismatic lovable characters in the MCU,” Supes reacted in a tweet.
The interconnectivity of the MCU
According to reports, She-Hulk could be a crucial cog in the interconnectivity of the MCU. Fans are to expect a lot of cameos from their favourite superheroes, including an obvious appearance from fellow attorney Daredevil.
Every episode has a post-credits scene
Marvel is really layering the next generation of the MCU, and on She-Hulk, it’s said that every episode has a post-credits scene that ties in loose ends from the past and paves way for future happenings in Phase 4.
