Bruce Banner/Smart Hulk also appears briefly in the She Hulk Trailer confirming that like the other of his previous appearances in the MCU, he will again be a secondary protagonist as he plays a key role in helping Jennifer Walters control her alter ego. That She Hulk Trailer also includes a few blink-or-miss-em cameos from Jameela Jamil as Titania, plus Frog-Man and even Abomination.

Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk

Jennifer Walters, played by Tatiana Maslany, is a lawyer known as the She Hulk Trailer suggests is “the face of the superhuman legal department.” Much to her dismay, she lives a complicated life juggling her corporate job with her newfound shenanigans as the green giant superhero She-Hulk.

Her Herculean strength and form in the comics stem from an emergency blood transfusion given by Bruce, allowing the gamma-irradiated blood to flow through her veins.

However, unlike Bruce, the MCU’s She-Hulk appears to have retained all aspects of her personality, and may not even become a colossal angry monster like the Hulk. In a conversation with her best friend in the trailer, Jennifer Walters discusses how she despises heroes and claims that she will never go down the superhero path. But given her training arc with Smart Hulk, it might only be a matter of time before she starts fighting crime outside of the courtroom.

Bruce Banner/Smart Hulk

abomination

Tim Roth reprises his role as Abomination, who first appeared in 2008 at the beginning of the MCU as Hulk’s nemesis The incredible Hulk. More than a decade later, the franchise surprisingly brought him back, showing Abomination battling Wong for the sport Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. What makes his performance here so intriguing is that he’s the only one besides Jennifer Walters who has Bruce Banner’s blood coursing through his body.
