MCU Phase 5: Predicting The NEW Avengers Lineup

5. She-Hulk

Avengers 5 Lineup
Marvel Comics

When She-Hulk was first introduced, she was basically just another female distaff counterpart from a male hero, Bruce Banner's cousin who needed his blood for a transfusion to save her life, which turned her into her own version of The Hulk.

However, that all changed upon the book being taken over by John Byrne, who reimagined her into the spunky, flirtatious confident woman we all know and adore, who stays in her Hulk form all the time because it doesn't take away her intellect like it does with Bruce so why in God's name would she EVER go back to normal?

She-Hulk is set to get a series on Disney + played by the great Tatiana Maslany. But The Avengers NEEDS a Hulk on the team - that's just the law - so if they really wanna shake things up, putting She-Hulk on the team is a great way to mess with the Hulk's dynamic with the rest of the team.

Instead of a big bruiser monster they throw at their bigger problems, She-Hulk can do that AND actually contribute in more clever ways to the Avengers' plans.
