Josh Segarra is the latest actor to join the cast of Marvel's She-Hulk, though details on his role are being kept quiet.
According to Deadline, Segarra has officially joined the series, though Marvel Studios has yet to make a comment or announcement. Segarra has appeared on AJ and the Queen, Orange is the New Black, and Sirens, but he's known to superhero fans as Adrian Chase, the Star City district attorney who was secretly the villain Prometheus on Arrow. Segarra will be the latest actor to jump from a DC property to a Marvel one.
Segarra will join lead Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), who will play attorney Jennifer Walters and her heroic alter ego, She-Hulk. Ginger Gonzaga, best known for Mixology and Family Guy, has been cast as Jennifer's best friend, while Hamilton and Altered Carbon star Renée Elise Goldsberry will play a character named Amelia, though no further details are known about her role.
Many of the show's details are being kept under wraps, which isn't a surprise given Marvel's notorious secrecy. But it has been confirmed to be a half-hour comedy set in the legal world, thus honoring many of She-Hulk's most iconic stories in the comics. This has also led to numerous rumors that fellow attorney Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, will appear on the show, with Charlie Cox reprising the role that he played on the now non-canon Netflix series.
Created by Stan Lee and John Buscema, Jennifer Walters debuted in 1980's Savage She-Hulk #1. In the comics, she's the cousin of Bruce Banner, and a blood transfusion from the superhero grants her similar abilities to the Hulk. Though she's served on the Avengers and other teams, many of her stories involve her working as an attorney in her She-Hulk form, which she can control more than her cousin. In the MCU, of course, Mark Ruffalo's Banner and the Other Guy have merged into Professor Hulk. Though he's yet to mention a cousin, Ruffalo will appear on the series, likely to help kickstart Jennifer's origin.
The Good Place star Jameela Jamil also confirmed that she'll be playing the villain Titania on the series. Meanwhile, Tim Roth will reprise his role as Abomination from 2008's The Incredible Hulk -- but first, he'll fight Wong in Shang-Chi.
Segarra will next appear on The Other Two on HBO Max, premiering Aug. 26. She-Hulk doesn't yet have a release date on Disney+, but it's expected to arrive next year.
