She-Hulk will soon make her MCU debut in the upcoming Disney+ series, but the character very nearly made it to the big screen back in the early '90s with Red Sonja star Brigitte Neilsen in the lead role.
It's Alive director Larry Cohen was hired to helm the project, and while we're not sure exactly how close it came to entering production, Neilsen did suit-up as the Savage She-Hulk for series of test-shots.
As you can see, this was a very scaled back take on Bruce Banner's cousin. Instead of the character's signature jade skin, Neilsen is sporting a shiny green outfit and some lipstick! She actually looks more like Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy from Batman and Robin than She-Hulk.
Nobody seems to be certain why this She-Hulk movie was ultimately canned, but looking at the photos above, we have a fair idea.
We're still waiting to hear who will play Jennifer Walkers in the Disney+ series, but a recent rumor claimed that Marvel was keen to cast an "Alison Brie type" in the role. Brooklyn 99's Stephanie Bearitz and Schitt's Creek actress Emily Hampshire have also thrown their hats in the ring.
