SHE-HULK Disney+ Series Rumored To Feature A Much Younger Version Of Bruce Banner

Though we still haven't had official word, Mark Ruffalo has pretty much confirmed that he will reprise the role of Bruce Banner/The Hulk for the upcoming Disney+ She-Hulk series, and it looks like the show will also introduce a younger version of the character.

The Direct reports that Marvel is currently searching for an actor around 10-years-of-age to play Banner as a child.

If true, this obviously suggests that the show will feature flashback scenes with Jennifer Walters and her cousin interacting as kids, and may also indicate that Ruffalo is going to have a more substantial role in She-Hulk than we'd been led to believe. The series could also explore Banner's relationship with his abusive father, which was only ever touched upon in Ang Lee's Hulk back in 2003.

We recently found out that Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany had landed the lead role of Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk, so more casting updates should follow soon. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia director Kat Coiro is set to helm the pilot and several other episodes.

Production on She-Hulk is scheduled to begin early next year, and the show is expected to premiere in 2022.

I'd like to see a flashback where they give Mark Ruffalo the Ed Norton Hair and Goatee combo.

@BlackBeltJones - Shoo that’s what I’d do too if a Good Guy doll jumped from at my wife from our Christmas tree “I’m you’re friend to the end!” (Belt snap)

@BlackBeltJones - If Banner's abusive father is going to appear on the Show, I like Tim Robbins for the role.

If Titania is in this, I hope we see her partner Absorbing man regardless of SHIELD.

I know the Ang Lee movie isn’t part of the MCU, but if Bruce’s father shows up in these flashbacks, can they de-age this guy?

@MUTO123 - Alternatively, given the Always Sunny connection, they could get Glenn Howerton.

Well I would hope to see flashbacks of them as kids. Lessons the impact of Jennifer is just some long lost cousin Bruce never met. But I also we get to see Betty Ross in this show. The character has been disrespected for far too long.

What other cameos of the main Avengers are we expecting to see in these D+ shows?

Captain Marvel in Ms. Marvel for example?

Thor in Loki?

Old Cap in Falcon & the Winter Soldier?

Doctor Strange in WandaVision?

While interesting speculation, that sounds like too much Bruce back story for a show that's supposed to be about Jennifer/She Hulk. Maybe just a brief scene of the young Bruce and Jennifer interacting while Bruce's parents fighting loudly in another room.
