She-Hulk is one of the new characters set to appear in the MCU’s enormous Phase 4 slate. Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black will play the Marvel hero, and Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner will make a return. She-Hulk follows Jennifer Walters as she transforms into a superhero while continuing to work as a lawyer. Ruffalo and Maslany will be accompanied by a superb ensemble that includes Titania’s Jameela Jamil, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Ginger Gonzaga, and Tim Roth’s Abomination. Aside from the fundamental idea, She-Hulk’s elements are being kept under wraps. According to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, She-Hulk is a “half-hour legal comedy,” a genre that the company has “never done before.” This hint prompted viewers to speculate on how characters such as Abomination might fit into the greater scheme of things on the show. To put some insight on the matter, Roth addressed Abomination’s participation in She-Hulk.

Tim Roth, who portrays Abomination in the MCU, spoke with The DisInsider about his forthcoming comeback in She-Hulk. In the interview, Roth revealed that in the series, he will be transformed back into Emil Blonsky, the human form of the Abomination, with an

“Oh sure!” The Marvel actor also stated that his comeback in She-Hulk would be “strange,”

while complimenting lead actress Tatiana Maslany as a “powerhouse.” Roth then suggested that viewers should expect to see “a little bit of everything in [it].”

It’s unclear how Abomination will revert to Emil Blonsky, but Tim Roth’s recent statements clearly suggest that She-Hulk will follow the character’s journey following the events of 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Since his appearance in the 2008 MCU film, Roth has been AWOL from the Infinity Saga since his appearance in the film, although he has since made a cameo in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The Abomination was featured in a cage battle with Wong in the Simu Liu-led film, where he eventually fell to the Sorcerer Supreme. Abomination’s brief appearance in Shang-Chi established that he knows Wong, and he looked like he was imprisoned. She-Hulk will almost certainly confront the character’s current situation in the MCU, particularly after his less-monstrous attitude in Shang-Chi. Bruce Banner, played by Mark Ruffalo, is also shown in his human form in Shang-Chi, implying that he was able to revert to his usual self rather than become the Smart Hulk. It’s likely that this “treatment” may be used on Blonsky as well, but it remains to be seen whether Banner would gladly offer it to his former adversary or whether it will be stolen.

The Falcon and Winter Soldier demonstrated that villains may still collaborate with heroes, as seen by Zemo’s collaboration with Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes:

The Falcon and Winter Soldier demonstrated that villains may still collaborate with heroes, as seen by Zemo’s collaboration with Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. This plot beat may be revisited in She-Hulk, possibly demonstrating a partnership between Banner, Walters, and Blonsky. It’s likely that the mission is top-secret, which would explain why Blonsky reverts to his human form. This might directly relate to Roth’s statement about Blonsky’s reappearance being “strange,” as no one would anticipate Blonsky to pair up with Banner and Walters. Overall, many would agree that Abomination’s reappearance in She-Hulk opens up a world of possibilities. She-Hulk is planned to premiere on Disney+ in 2022.
