9 Female Marvel Heroes Who Desperately Deserve An MCU Movie

6. She-Hulk

She Hulk Valkyrie

Jennifer Walters is Bruce Banner's cousin, and one (if you hadn't noticed the green disposition already) who's also part of Team Hulk.

Known as She-Hulk, Jen was blessed with all the powers of the Hulk when she accepted a blood transfusion from Banner. Lacking the Jekyll and Hyde persona that, more times than not, has caused some issues for Marvel's famous founding Avenger, Jen is as much a lawyer as she is a superhero, having become Marvel's second-most famous legal eagle after Matthew Murdock.

While the addition of another Hulk might raise some eyebrows among moviegoers, it wouldn't be long at all before Jen endeared herself to the Marvel faithful. She's survived and thrived almost forty years of reboots, relaunches and redesigns, and while issues with Universal continue to vex Marvel's plans for a solo Hulk film, turning attention to Jen would present a better course of action, if not in a film, then in a Netflix series instead.

She might not be the monosyllabic hero fans have become accustomed to onscreen, but she's more than ready for a film of her own. Make it happen, Marvel!

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
