Check out the video above to find out why there may be a whole new Shulkie in town for the follow up to &#8220;Doomsday,&#8221; 2027&#8217;s &#8220;Avengers: Secret Wars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rumors started spreading that She-Hulk would be recast thanks to a now-deleted X post by a prominent\u00a0Marvel tipster. The unconfirmed report revealed that the Sensational one could be a major component of &#8220;Secret Wars,&#8221; but Tatiana Maslany isn&#8217;t interested in reprising the role. Leaked\u00a0concept art\u00a0by longtime Marvel preproduction designer Mushk Rizvi indicated that Jennifer Walters has a place in &#8220;Secret Wars&#8221; as well \u2014 and since Jennifer&#8217;s facial features resemble Maslany&#8217;s in each piece, it would seem that Marvel wants Maslany back.<\/p>\n<p>If the actor does says no, it might be because she&#8217;s too busy to step back into Jen&#8217;s pumps. Maslany has booked the upcoming Apple TV+ series &#8220;Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,&#8221; and also recurs on &#8220;Star Trek: Starfleet Academy&#8221; as Anisha Mir. On top of that, she&#8217;ll be appearing in the films &#8220;The Comedy Hour&#8221;\u00a0and &#8220;The Young People.&#8221; But that isn&#8217;t the only reason why she might be reluctant to sign up for another tour of duty as She-Hulk.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                She-Hulk: Attorney At Law faced major fan backlash<\/p>\n<p>                                             &#13;<br \/>\n                                                    &#13;<br \/>\n                            &#13;<br \/>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/she-hulk-attorney-at-law-faced-major-fan-backlash-1770417222.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/2095127\/marvel-forced-recast-she-hulk-avengers-secret-wars\/\" data-post-id=\"2095127\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"Marvel May Be Forced To Recast She-Hulk For Avengers: Secret Wars: She-Hulk: Attorney At Law faced major fan backlash\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"She-Hulk walks the red carpet in \" she-hulk:=\"\" attorney=\"\" at=\"\" law=\"\"\/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                    Marvel Studios<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She-Hulk: Attorney at Law&#8221; got a frosty reception from certain sections of the MCU fanbase, who proceeded to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/972155\/the-she-hulk-review-debacle-just-keeps-getting-weirder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cause a debacle by\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/972155\/the-she-hulk-review-debacle-just-keeps-getting-weirder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">review bombing<\/a> it.

While Maslany might be proud of the work she did as Jennifer, it looks like she may have moved on from Ms. Walter&#8217;s chic business suits for good.
