Starring Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, the comedy follows the young lawyer navigating her newly-acquired powers and double life as the eponymous She-Hulk.

Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is fully underway, but many titles such as Shang-Chi and Eternals have focused mainly on introducing its new superheroes without much reference to the rest of the MCU. Luckily, some of the original Avengers such as Spider-Man and Doctor Strange have contributed to this aspect, and now Thor: Love and Thunder are looking to bring the interconnectedness of the massive superhero franchise even further. Spotted in a new image of the upcoming Taika Waititi film that has surfaced, we see both Tessa Thompson‘s Valkyrie and Natalie Portman‘s Mighty Thor convening in a similar way as the Illuminati in Multiverse of Madness, but while it’s no surprise for the two to be appearing on screen, fans have noticed that a new character has found its way into...
