Benedict Wong, who plays the Sorcerer Supreme Wong in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is officially confirmed to make his return in the upcoming Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. This will his mark his fourth appearance in the MCU's Phase 4 so far after making brief cameos in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: No Way Home, and putting in a major role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. At this point, he has been featured in just as many Marvel titles as Doctor Stephen Strange himself, although they do differ.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will focus on Jennifer Walters (played by Tatiana Maslany), a hard-working lawyer and cousin to Bruce Banner/the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). Through the means are still unknown as of now, Jennifer gains the same abilities as her cousin: the power to transform into a 6-foot-7-inch green goliath with superhuman strength. The nine-episode She-Hulk will follow her as she navigates the complex life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a huge and green. Rounding out the cast are Jameela Jamil, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Ginger Gonzaga and Tim Roth, who returns as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination following 2008's The Incredible Hulk (and a brief appearance in Shang-Chi).

This afternoon, Marvel.com released an official synopsis of the upcoming show, which includes the cast list. Among the names is Wong himself, although it is still unclear whether his role will be minor or major, or how many episodes he will appear in. The premise also revealed that six episodes (1-4, 8-9) will be directed by Kat Coiro, while episodes 5-7 will be helmed by Anu Valia.

As part of the 2022 Disney Upfront event, Marvel Studios released the first official trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The footage shows Walters' transformation into the new superhero, along with glimpses of Roth's Emil Blonsky and Jamil as the villain Titania. The trailer also gives off a little bit of a romantic comedy vibe, as it shows the title character swiping through Tinder and going on dates. Beyond showing Bruce and Blonsky, though, it didn't do much to reveal how She-Hulk will connect with the rest of the MCU.

As far as Wong is concerned, he might be in this series to help integrate She-Hulk into the larger-scale MCU. Wong and Bruce are already acquainted with each other, as was evidenced in the post-credits scene of Shang-Chi. Perhaps the two of them will end up showing Walters the ropes of being a superhero. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, they might not have any scenes together whatsoever. All will be made clear when She-Hulk: Attorney at Law arrives this summer.
