I haven’t fact checked this but it’s reported that Marvel is looking at smaller actresses for Jennifer as opposed to more muscular women many had assumed. This is totally cool and makes me wonder to what extent they’ll be using CGI. I don’t know She-Hulk very well, so what are your thoughts? (Marvel is said to be looking for an Alison Brie type actress for the role of #SheHulk. Brie herself could possibly be in the running for the titular role [h/t @knightedgemedia) That is basically what I have been suggesting and hoping for all along. I tried to convey that idea here: knowhere-mcu.proboards.com/post/46013/threadThe emphasis needs to be on casting a gifted actress, regardless of her size, to play the human character, Jennifer Walters. Her alter-ego, She-Hulk, is a character of pure fantasy. It wouldn't be practical to try and find a "real" She-Hulk who can also act well to play the part. Practical effects or, more likely, CGI can solve fantasy portion of the casting challenge. |

I wasn’t convinced they’d go with long term cgi but you’re right that there’s no reason they couldn’t. And you’re also right that this would allow for the best actress possible. |

All CGI was not my first choice but it looks like that is the direction they are going. If the CGI is done very well it will work fine.

It could also be practical effects involving drastic scale changes and forced perspective. If you could create something similar to the Gandolph/Hobbit size relationship, that might work as well. The point is that getting a more athletic and larger actress to squeeze herself into a power suit and show up to court isn't the absolute best way to go about casting Jennifer Walters (who is typically a smaller individual). No disrespect to the larger gals out there, we can find opportunities for them as well. |

I thought she was mostly always big which is why I think many thought they might cast a more fit actress rather than constantly using cgi. They could constantly use cgi of course. No problems there. But does she shrink back to normal Jen a lot? |

I thought she was mostly always big which is why I think many thought they might cast a more fit actress rather than constantly using cgi. They could constantly use cgi of course. No problems there. But does she shrink back to normal Jen a lot? In the 80s run of Fantastic Four and the 90s run of She-Hulk, Jennifer Walters rarely changed back to her human form. In her most recent series from this past decade, simply entitled Hulk, she frequently switches between gray She-Hulk, green She-Hulk, and her human form. The 90s iteration of the character was all about showing an idealized woman with super strength who frequently broke the fourth wall (and was something of an unintentional comedienne). Back then, Jennifer Walters was (literally) addicted to being She-Hulk and never changed back to her human form.  The most recent iteration of the character has a more complex metamorphosis and motivation. Walters changes back and forth between multiple forms frequently and is powered by rage like the more traditional Hulks.  Like many characters in the Marvel universe, She-Hulk has had many different iterations and changes to her powers and personality. I don't think the show is going to cater exclusively to her cheesecake era, where she was always She-Hulk. This show could take inspiration from the character's early history, which dates back to the late 70s. Like I said before, casting the best actress should be their priority as opposed to casting the best-looking actress. An athletic woman who can't act, like the CW's poor excuse for a Batwoman, would sink the show in one or two seasons. Most casuals understand Hulks to be angry beings that transform. A Hulk that stays a Hulk indefinitely might be confusing to some, if not to most. And, casting a larger, more athletic woman limits your opportunities to have her transform back to her smaller form at all (unless you plan to use yet another actress for that purpose). Man... It's as if you guys don't want to see a good looking woman shed most of her clothing in a gratuitous, fabric-ripping transformation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Do we really want this?  |

Why would Marvel Studios do anything differently with She-Hulk than what they did with Hulk? Can someone explain that to me?

If you're not strictly referring to visual effects, there are several reasons to do something "different" with She-Hulk, not least of which is that Hulk and She-Hulk are two different people. |

I know that. But Im purely talking visuals. Why would they do it differently? The same rules apply really... Sometimes you want to avoid repeating yourself. That said, Disney+ shows have enormous budgets per episode. There's no reason for Marvel to be forced into any one direction based on artificial constraints. They're far from cash-poor, so a CGI generated She-Hulk is on the table. They could go practical as well, but that doesn't mean they have to lock themselves into an actress of a particular size and build. Eventually, the human being known as Jennifer Walters is going to have to be seen... likely alongside her cousin. We all may have a preference for how we think the character should be visualized, but none of our opinions or theorizing is based on any real character constraints. What I find the most surprising is that people don't seem to get the character's gamma-fluidity. People want to peg her as a particular type of Hulk. That just isn't the case. If Marvel were to draw from her early origins, she would be a carbon-copy of the Hulk, but female (thus the sobriquet, The Savage She-Hulk). If go by the 80s version of the character, she's a cosmic adventurer who subbed for Ben Grimm in the Fantastic Four and rarely ever made her way into a courtroom. The 90s sees her become a gamma-addicted sit-com star in the vein of Deadpool... and so on and so on... |

The title is misleading, but if it happens I'm sure Marvel will do something great with it. |

It is a bit click baity.
For those who are curious, it's her body language when she's asked about She-Hulk.
