With She-Hulk now in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans will definitely be getting more Jennifer Walters (played by Tatiana Maslany) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the newest episode may have just teased what's next for Mark Ruffalo's Hulk as well.
In episode two of She-Hulk, Bruce Banner is seen heading into space on a ship after he claims “he has some business to take care of." This has a great chance of being a teaser at the World War Hulk storyline from the comics, and She-Hulk's head writer has made it seem like this could be the case during conversations with TV Line and The Direct.
Gao, who's the head writer of She-Hulk, was asked if there were any intentions behind the way the Hulk exited She-Hulk. “A big part of it is Mark did what he came to do on the show, and we wanted to make sure that people knew, don’t expect him to be in every episode from here on out," Gao said. “But also, I think it kind of opens up the possibility if Marvel chooses to, to do something with that, to pick up that story. If they wanted.” In another interview with The Direct, Gao alluded to the Hulk having some unfinished business on Sakaar following the years he spent there, adding that many things could've happened during that time the Hulk was off Earth.
The World War Hulk comic storyline follows the Hulk crash landing on Sakaar and seeking revenge against the Illuminati for the part they played in the death of his pregnant wife. To fit into the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this would have to be slightly tweaked. However, with the Illuminati introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the chances are great that the comic could be adapted to fit into the Multiverse Saga. Ruffalo has also made it clear that he’s open to doing World War Hulk whenever it's ordered by Marvel Studios.
With the Disney Expo approaching, many are speculating that World War Hulk will be confirmed then. Considering the next Marvel Cinematic Universe phase has lots of space for new projects to be introduced, and the fact it continues to be teased by those within Marvel Studios, anything is possible.
She-Hulk is now streaming on Disney Plus.
