Marvel Studios ' highly anticipated Disney+ show of 2022, "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law," failed to meet the expectations of many fans, joining the ranks of other recent Marvel projects that fell short.

Actress Tatiana Maslany, who portrays She-Hulk, addressed a potential hurdle for a second season during Codenames LIVE! The New Class (via CBR).

Maslany hinted that the costly nature of She-Hulk's reappearance on Disney+ might have led to the dismissal of the possibility of a second season. When asked about the chances of a Season 2, she remarked, "I don't think so. I think we blew our budget, and Disney was like, 'No thanks.'"


Despite the show's substantial budget of $225 million for the first season, it garnered a mix of critical acclaim and fan criticism. Rumors circulated last year about Marvel Studios planning a second season, with development slated to commence after the resolution of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, Maslany's comments cast doubt on whether this plan is still in motion.

"She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" follows the story of Jennifer Walters , a single 30-something attorney and the cousin of Bruce Banner. A blood transfusion from her frequently angry relative endows her with Hulk abilities. Known for her intelligence, strength, and unique perspective as a superpowered lawyer, She-Hulk, like Deadpool, is known to break the fourth wall in her comics—a trait that carried into the MCU show. The season finale took an unexpected turn, with Jennifer addressing the robotic overlord of the MCU, " Kevin ," and criticizing the franchise for ten minutes, reminiscent of an X/Twitter user.



The show became an enigma, with audience criticisms of CGI countered by awards nominations and a visual effects win. Praise for the unique tone and execution stood alongside a 32% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes .

Despite Maslany's skepticism about the show's return, it may not be the last appearance of Jennifer Walters and her green alter-ego. Kevin Feige previously indicated that She-Hulk would feature in at least one theatrical MCU release in the future.
