We had heard that a major announcement regarding Marvel's upcoming She-Hulk series was imminent, and Deadline has now broke the news that the lead role has been cast! 

Orphan Black actress Tatiana Maslany will play attorney Jennifer Walters and her lean, green alter-ego in the Disney+ show.

This comes on the heels of the news that Dead To Me director Kat Coiro wil helm the pilot and several other episodes. Rick and Morty scribe Jessica Gao has also been confirmed to lead the writers room.

In the comics, Walters is an attorney who gains similar powers to The Green Goliath when she receives a blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner. Mark Ruffalo's involvement hasn't been made official yet, but the actor has dropped a few hints that he will reprise his MCU role for the show.

Maslany is best known for her Emmy-nominated role in Orphan Black, but she has also appeared in the likes of Diary of the Dead, Stronger and Destroyer. She can currently be seen in HBO’s Perry Mason.

She-Hulk is reportedly scheduled to begin production in Atlanta, Georgia early next year.

What do you make of this casting choice? Can you see Maslany as She-Hulk? Let us know in the comments.

Great actress! I stopped watching Orphan Black after a while but she shined so brightly on that show. Playing one clone pretending to be another clone was always done so well. Can't wait to see how she is as Jen!

@DalekCraigWasson - Yeah, I kind of lost interest too, but it didn't have anything to do with her. She was fantastic. You almost forgot you were watching the same actress juggling all those roles. She's got a ton of charisma and talent so she should kill this.

She's amazing and this is great news! Loved her in Orphan Black. I hope the writing and the production on this show does HER justice.

Oh wow great choice!

So what will it be? Green makeup, body double or CGI?

@Kingdork - I mean considering She Hulk is 6'7", they'll probably have to do CGI. Not a lot of tall woman actors - Gwendoline Christie (6'3"), Elizabeth Debicki (6'2") (already in GotG2)...not many others

@teefurtree - would be kinda funny if it was debicki and they painted her green, since they already painted her gold in guardians XD

Tatiana is awesome and she will kill the role. My hype level went from zero to pretty hype after this haha.

I am really intrigued to see how they pull this show off, and make it work. Anything Hulk related can't be cheap.

@KWilly - She doesn't morph into a beast like Hulk requiring tons of CGI... she only scales larger more or less resembling her former self but green.
That can easily and cheaply scale her up like Eitri in IW.
