Starring Tatianna Maslany in the lead role of Jennifer Walters, Bruce Banner’s cousin and top-tier lawyer, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law will showcase her new life as the titular superhero. In the series, She-Hulk will be heading up a new superhuman law division.
Some characters have already been confirmed to appear or return to the MCU in the show while the appearances of others remains the stuff of fan theories and guesswork. Regardless of whether they feature in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law or not, certain characters from the MCU would definitely benefit from having She-Hulk as their lawyer.
Bruce Banner
Given all his issues, his turn into a superhero, and the fact that she’s his cousin, Bruce probably has Jennifer on speed dial. It’s never been resolved if he ever faced any criminal repercussions from his and Abomination’s destruction of Harlem in The Incredible Hulk, nor his involvement in the battle of New York in The Avengers.
It seems that being part of the Avengers and saving the world from an alien invasion can help you get out of outstanding warrants. However, as she’ll need help in understanding her new powers, perhaps he’ll need hers on the legal side in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law should his past come back to bite him.
Abomination (Emily Blonsky)
After his reintroduction in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Emil Blonsky, aka Abomination, is finally back, and it looks like he’ll play a large focus in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. It's already been confirmed he'll be hiring She-Hulk as a lawyer, though not why. Wong is on his side, so it'll likely be for for his release after spending over a decade in a high-security prison or at least some deal that could lessen his sentence.
Interestingly, this deal could have massive implications, as it might entail him joining a government-sanctioned group of reformed villains and anti-heroes in the Thunderbolts. It's still a mystery what type of team the Thunderbolts will be – they may be a secret team of villains posing as heroes or an attempt at replicating and supplanting the Avengers – but Abomination will surely be involved.
Happy Hogan
While Jennifer Walters is now heading up the new superhuman law division, some normal people could also use her help. This would include Eleanor Bishop, Justin Hammer, and even Happy Hogan. As explained in Spider-Man: No Way Home by Matt Murdock (aka Daredevil, another superhero and lawyer), Happy is in need of a different lawyer.
John Favreau's inclusion in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law hasn’t been confirmed, but surely would be a welcome sight for many fans. Whether a surprise cameo or just an offhand comment referencing him, it would be nice to know what Happy was up to at this time. However, the show’s placement in the chronology might complicate that. There’s a rumor that it could be largely set during the Blip, which would limit his need for a lawyer.
Hellcat (Trish Walker)
With Matt Murdock back and set to feature prominently in Daredevil season four and even Spider-Man: Freshman Year, perhaps the same will be the case for other popular characters from the former Netflix series. Some fan theories about She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, suggest the show could be reintroducing Kristen Ritter as Jessica Jones. If that’s the case, it could also incorporate Trish Walker, Jessica’s adoptive sister turned crazed vigilante, Hellcat.
Her story in Jessica Jones ended with her being sent to the Raft, the prison for superpowered people as shown in Captain America: Civil War. Since Hellcat is a classic Marvel character, they’d probably want to incorporate her and get her back to her heroic ways. She-Hulk could help in this by serving as her defense.
Luke Cage
Another Netflix character who could use She-Hulk’s legal assistance is Luke Cage. The show, Luke Cage, ended on an interesting note with Luke becoming the new ruling crimelord of Harlem, having been left Harlem’s Paradise in Mariah Dillard’s will. He chose to accept and continue protecting Harlem by trying to control the crime. He might’ve gotten himself into more trouble in the meanwhile, and thus enter She-Hulk.
There are plenty of fan theories about how to reintroduce these MCU characters, such as bringing Luke back for Thunderbolts, Echo, or a Heroes for Hire show. Regardless, Mike Colter still stands a better chance at returning than other Netflix characters, and if he does, She-Hulk could be there to help.
Ghost (Ava Starr)
The last audiences saw of Ava Starr aka Ghost, she was slinking away from authorities with Bill Foster at the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp. Her fate was actually left ambiguous since Hope, Hank, and Janet all vanished from Thanos’ snap and Scott was left in the Quantum Zone. They were going there to get particles to help treat her ailment, and since they didn’t succeed, her life was in danger. For her sake, she hopefully blipped away, but if she didn’t it would be interesting to learn how she survived those five years.
Ava was once an agent and assassin for S.H.I.E.L.D., or rather HYDRA since they were really pulling her strings. On top of her actions in Ant-Man and the Wasp she probably took part in some horrific events, and maybe even some war crimes. As such, she’d be in desperate need of a lawyer so she can finally go live her life.
Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
Ms. Marvel paved the way for an exciting future in the MCU. Naturally and most importantly, the show finally introduced mutants to the MCU (or at least the first time the word mutation was used in that context). Over the course of the series, Kamala Khan discovered more about her heritage and identity, all while dealing with the struggles of teenage life.
Along the way, she had to face off against Damage Control, who could end up leading to the MCU’s Sentinel program. Since she went up against a government agency, regardless of the public opinion, Ms. Marvel is definitely not someone the feds are gonna be fans of. She could very well be required to sign the Sokovia Accords, if they’re still a thing, and disclose her identity. To stop that, there’s no one better to help her than She-Hulk.
Echo (Maya Lopez)
Maya Lopez aka Echo is definitely one of the more complex new heroes introduced throughout Phase Four. Already her history with organized crime as the leader of the Tracksuit Mafia would make her probably seek out some legal help, especially if she hopes to become a hero like Hawkeye or Daredevil, not to mention her “familial” connection to crime boss, Kingpin.
Hawkeye ended on a cliffhanger with her supposedly shooting Kingpin. However, since that wasn’t explicitly shown, and it was later confirmed to be a fakeout like in the comic. She’ll already probably be getting help from Daredevil to become a hero and go up against Kingpin in Echo, so maybe Matt Murdock might make for a better fit. However, if not, She-Hulk could be the person to help her out.
Bullseye (Benjamin Poindexter)
With the return of Vicent D’Onofrio as Kingpin, fans can hope that other villains will cross over from Marvel Television to the MCU’s main continuity. There are some great villains, including Benjamin Poindexter, played by Wilson Bethel. He became Daredevil’s foil, quite literally taking up his personage, and in the final shots, his eyes reflect a target, setting up his arrival as Bullseye.
He’d make for a fantastic inclusion in Daredevil season four, Echo, and Thunderbolt. If he appears
, She-Hulk could help him out if he’s seemingly wishing to make up for his past misdeeds, whether it's genuine or a ruse.
Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)
Wanda Maximoff has certainly wrought a fair amount of destruction and chaos throughout Phase Four from kidnapping a whole town in WandaVision to waging a multiversal war on Doctor Strange in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Despite that, her fanbase is still incredibly passionate and eagerly awaiting the announcement of a Scarlet Witch solo film.
Wanda has a lot to make up for if she ever hopes to redeem herself and really become a hero the MCU’s inhabitants could adore. She-Hulk could be there to help her as her lawyer, working as her defense and as a possible ally in any fight she faces. This could be a team-up no one saw coming but could lead to something quite fun and intriguing.
