10 Essential Marvel Heroes Not Yet Used In The MCU

Even with a solo film and multiple appearances in the MCU, Bruce Banner's backstory and his time as the Incredible Hulk hasn't been as fleshed out as much as it could. Case in point, where is his cousin, Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk? The feminine version of the Jade Giant has been around since 1980, but she never got the attention her cousin has when it comes to movies and television.

She-Hulk has most of the same powers her cousin has, but retains her intellect and own personality when she transforms. She has been affiliated with just about every superhero team Marvel has in its roster leaving plenty of opportunities for her to make an appearance.

Seeing as the Hulk was reticent to come out and fight Thanos in Infinity War, why not throw a bone to his cousin? She could be one of the characters brought on to fill the void left by the heroes who were culled by Thanos.

There is at least one reason we have yet to see Walters' She-Hulk in the MCU and it's tied to a complicated deal between Marvel and Universal Studios. Universal owns the rights and while they worked out moving the Hulk, his cousin currently remains unavailable.
