She-Hulk plot
The two trailers for She-Hulk have mainly focused on Jennifer Walters’ journey.
The official synopsis for the show reads: “She-Hulk aka Jennifer Walters is a lawyer who specializes in superhuman-oriented legal cases.”
With multiple villains confirmed to be appearing in the series, fans are speculating whether the show will be an adventure-of-the-week style show where She-Hulk will deal with a new antagonist or court case each week.
She-Hulk was also confirmed to be able to break the fourth wall in the second trailer, making her the first MCU hero to do so. The cast and crew have confirmed that this ability will have specific ramifications for the plot.
In a new clip from USA Today, viewers can see Bruce and Jennifer doing Hulk training together, which She-Hulk seems to excel at.
