There is a wild RUMOR flying around that Megan Fox is the favorite to play She-Hulk in a spinoff film of The Incredible Hulk.
If this totally unsubstantiated rumor somehow turns out to be true, it would mean that Megan Fox is about to star in a trifecta of comic book films: she’s already been confirmed to play the titular role in an adaptation of Michael Turner’s Fathom, and she’ll also have a role in the upcoming adaptation of Jonah Hex.
That comic book-clout doesn’t even count the box office clout she’s going to have when Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen explodes into theaters and IMAX this Summer. Anyway you look at, it’s a good time to be Megan Fox.

This is what an “inside source” close to the wild rumor about She-Hulk had to say about Megan Fox taking on the role:
“‘She-Hulk’ comics are popular so it’s only natural that the character makes the transition to the big screen. The idea is to make She-Hulk sexier but even more savage than the Hulk, which is why Megan is the big favourite for the lead. She’ll be green of course and will have to hang on to a few more pieces of clothes than the male version when she transforms!”
Sounds totally reliable (sarcasm alert!).
She-Hulk is, of course, the female version of The Incredible Hulk. In the original comics, She-Hulk is Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner, who is shot and critically wounded by mobsters. Having the same DNA and blood-type as Jennifer, Bruce Banner transfuses her with his own gamma-irradiated blood to save her life, inadvertently transforming her into the She-Hulk.
Can Megan Fox play the lean, green, machine, She-Hulk?

Now, I agree with this “inside source” that Megan Fox is sexier than The Hulk, but more savage? The only “savage” side of Megan Fox I know of is the one from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and even that was more bitchy than savage. There’s also the fact that Megan Fox is well under the height requirement for “Amazonian,” and I’m not sure hers is the kind of beauty that translates to green. You need an actress that can do green in order to pull off She-Hulk.
Uma Thurman is more the type of actress that can “do green.” And Kill Bill definitely showed us her savage side. She even played an angry super heroine in My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Bulk her up a little, paint her green… Just saying…
Seriously though, I hope this rumor is debunked sooner before later, because I don’t think Megan Fox is the girl to play She-Hulk. It’s going to be enough seeing her get wet n’ wild in Fathom; let that bit of fun end there.
What do you think, is there any chance that Megan Fox is going to end up playing She-Hulk? Or should we all be scoffing at this RUMOR?

Hate to say it… but I think her looks definitely could warrant the role… though I don’t care much so far for her ability to act. If it weren’t for Michelle Rodriguez’s skin tone and pouty lips, I’d really be nominating her for the role… don’t know how I feel about Uma either but definitely not as against her as I am with Fox… guess let’s just wait and see what happens… do we know of any other actor/actress that’s played more than one comic book heroe/heroein?
heroine?
HECK NO!!! The She-Hulk needs to be played by an actress with muscle, similar to the actress in What’s Love Got to do with it (she’s too old now). And I agree, Fox is too short. Since She-Hulk can’t change back, I hope they don’t go all CGI.
Not even Uma Thurman, Kofi, what’s wrong with you mang?
The best candidate for the She-Hulk: Katee Sachoff.
Savage: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3418200320/nm0755267
Sexy: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1459132160/nm0755267
Gritty: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm175737344/nm0755267
and already she has the right size in all the right parts ;D
NO to this toothpick Meagon Fox.
Look man………any excuse to see Megan Fox is a good excuse. I don’t care if she plays the bad guy in the new Rambo flick, as long as she is on screen, I’m happy!
if they are planning a she hulk spinoff then get someone who cant act, i mean shes hot and that pic of her just shows what i mean, but i dont think she can handle a leading role in a film shes just good for sex appeal
“….then get someone who cant act”
i mean they should get someone who can act, lol human error
Does it really matter? Once shes “transforned” shes gonan be all CGI anyway like Hulk right?
To be frank, she doesn’t have to actually play the she-hulk. If you think about it, she doesn’t have to fit the part of She-Hulk AT ALL. Because She-Hulk is the transformation, just like Hulk is of Bruce Banner. At that point CGI takes over, and you have the perfect casting for the She-Hulk.
The only part Megan Fox has to be perfect for is Jennifer Walters, and that doesn’t require strength, height, or anything else that can be associated with the She-Hulk that people seem to be getting mixed up with.
This isn’t Thor we’re talking about, remember that.
I hope SOMEBODY plays the She Hulk .
I want the character to make it to the screen .
As for Megan Fox and Fathom,
I hear she is a big fan of The comic and the late Michael Turner.
So I am going to cut her a little slack as far as Fathom goes.
I would comment on the article, but I’ll go ahead and admit that I just stared at the picture of Megan the whole time.
Did you actually forget Uma played Poison Ivy or were you purposely dancing around it?
And no , Megan Fox shouldn’t play She-Hulk, in fact no one should play She-Hulk because it’s a stupid concept to begin with.
I don’t think there is a spin off for She-Hulk. However, given the setup for Incredible Hulk, I can see how the character can come into live action territory….as part of Incredible Hulk II anyway.
Fox is stunning. No getting around that. She’s also, as noted, got films lined up, some of which are based on comic books. Nothing wrong with that, but I think that’s enough workload.
@SK47:
I second Kathryn “Katee” Sackhoff.
@Stephen
Mission Accomplished.
Oh, BTW – in the comics She-Hulk’s transformation is not nearly as different as Bruce Banner’s. She gets larger and more muscular but is still very identifiable as the same woman (at least as far as I can recall).
Vic
@Darren seeley, YES!
You can see how she is a perfect fit right!
I agree she has the fem look for the role, but she would definitely need to get ripped, which not many women can pull that off. I think if u watch a series called Nemesis starting with Nemesis 2 that is what her body would need to look like, not really buffed, but cut.
I admit I haven’t read the series in many years, but I don’t recall her ever transforming back, she was always perma-hulked.
I just checked the Marvel site and found out that She-Hulk did have the ability to change back to her normal form, so this could work with Fox as the normal form and someone else as She-Hulk. It was only after being exposed to radiation that she lost her ability to transform back into her normal form.
She Hulk? I’m not watching that.
Why so much hate for Fox?
Granted I have been wooed by her hottness, I can honestly say she has a lot of potential.
And as far as criticism to her height/weight/muscles…obviously you guys have something against her as all these characteristics can be added (special effects, camera tricks, her doing a workout camp before the movie, etc.)
BUUUUT, I honestly think that they need an unknown, up and coming a actress for this role.
As SK47 mentioned, someone like Katee Sachoff would be much better.
As for UMA? NO! lol Again my opinion, but, just NO!
Oh God why can’t the ones that actually can act get famous and all the roles? Is one of the requirements of being the hot female lead of the time to have absolutely 0 acting ability? Come on…
Uma Thurman can “do green.” Can Katee Sackhoff “do green?”
J/K, the Uma thing was more of a joke.
Ever since the failed pilot for a She-Hulk TV spinoff, I’d thought a new TV or film version was long overdue. I read She-Hulk comics in the past. It will be intriguing to see if and how a female version of the Hulk can work with fans.
I’d also agree with Uma Thurman.
heres a Photoshoped FoX-hulk photo.

Just the thought of this makes me think CATWOMAN.
Ray O, I was thinking the exact same thing…
I can’t believe NONE of you guys noticed or mentioned the two reasons that TOTALLY disqualify Megan Fox from playing the She Hulk.
Give you a hint…the reasons are below her chin and above her belly button.
No. Possible. way.
(A padded bra didn’t work (convincingly) for Angelina to play Lara Croft and it sure as heck won’t work for Megan whose half her size!)
I don’t think there’s a market for a She-Hulk film.
@Jess
I can care less about her body, NOBODY playing a comic book character looks exactly like their comic book counterpart, the thing that disqualifies her is the fact that she can’t act to save her life. And how green make-up over her half an inch thick layer of make-up would work I have no idea…
