Director Kat Coiro might serve as Marvel's upcoming She-Hulk series' pilot director and showrunner. Coiro is currently in negotiations to head the upcoming Disney+ show, alongside lead writer Jessica Gao (writer of Rick and Morty).
According to Deadline, Coiro plans to not only direct She-Hulk's pilot but lead multiple episodes of the show while being its executive producer. Coiro directed multiples episodes of popular TV shows like Shameless, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Modern Family and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as well as the upcoming 2021 romantic comedy Marry Me.
She-Hulk is one of many Phase 4-era shows entering Marvel's Cinematic Universe, exclusive to Disney+'s platform. Since Marvel concluded its era of live-action shows for mainstream television networks, the company's ramped up its future lineup of MCU series, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Hawkeye and Loki. She-Hulk's addition to the MCU world was announced alongside Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel's solo series. While production is expected to begin in 2021, no announcements have been made yet regarding the casting of the show's lead character Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk.
Created in 1980 by Stan Lee, She-Hulk is the alias of Jennifer Walter, a New York attorney who was critically injured by crime bosses and saved by a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner. Because the blood was gamma-charged, it transformed Jennifer into a similar green-skinned being who, while not as powerful as the Hulk, makes up for it by keeping her intelligence while in She-Hulk form. Because she retains her old self in a body that's both super strong and smart, Jennifer regularly stays in She-Hulk form for not only superhero duties with the Avengers and Fantastic Four, but in her personal and professional lives as well. The character is also well-known for breaking the fourth wall in comics, though not as frequently as the likes of Deadpool.
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.
