According to a new report, Disney+'s She-Hulk is looking to cast two supporting characters for Jennifer Walters: a longtime friend and a shrewd lawyer.
The Illuminerdi reports Marvel Studios is seeking Jen's "best friend," a woman between the ages of 26 to 28, and a "shrewd" but witty lawyer. While the best friend role has no name attached, the shrewd layer part is referred to as "Meg." The report speculates these roles are comparable to comic book characters Jill Stevens and Mallory Book, respectively.
In the comics, Jill is Jen's close friend, and they shared an uncanny resemblance -- so much so that Jill was mistaken for Jen, which led to Jill's death. Mallory, on the other hand, is an ally and occasional rival for Jen. She was once dubbed "the face that never lost a case."
For the time being, there is no official word on the cast or plot of She-Hulk. She-Hulk will be one of the numerous Disney+ and Marvel projects set to release over the course of the next couple of years, projects including Moon Knight, The Falcon and Winter Soldier, WandaVision and What If...?
Developed for television by Jessica Gao (Rick and Morty), She-Hulk is slated to premiere exclusively on Disney+. No release date or cast has been announced at this time.
