She-Hulk Will Reportedly Debut Obscure Marvel Villain in the MCU

It’s been a week since fans were treated to the first trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the upcoming live-action series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the series brings Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) into the MCU, it is expected to also introduce a wide array of unique and unexpected characters from the Marvel Universe. According to a new report from Cosmic Circus, that could also include some sort of iteration of Porcupine, a bizarre legacy character within the pages of Marvel Comics. Initially created by Stan Lee and Don Heck in 1963’s Tales to Astonish #48, Porcupine was first a mad scientist with a battle suit made out of quills. A subsequent iteration of the character was Roger Gocking, who eventually joined the Thunderbolts.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk. The nine-episode series welcomes a host of MCU vets, including Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong. The cast also includes Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry. Executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Kat Coiro and Jessica Gao. Co-executive producers are Wendy Jacobson and Jennifer Booth.

“I never choose a project based on genre. And I actually don’t think very much about genre, I think about character,” Coiro told The Wrap in an interview earlier this year. “And I think about the emotional lives of the characters and, you know, can I bring something? Can I bring a mix of humor and heart to this? Because that is what I love to watch. And it’s what I love to work with.”

“And so when I stepped into, you know, the Marvel playground,” Coiro continued. “The cool thing about Marvel is that it is an ever-evolving universe and you have straight dramas, and you have very comedic films, and we are in that world where we’re definitely playing with a more comedic world, but it also is still part of Marvel land.”
