We had heard that a major announcement regarding Marvel’s upcoming She-Hulk series was imminent, and Deadline has now broke the news that the lead role has been cast! 

Orphan Black actress Tatiana Maslany will play attorney Jennifer Walters and her lean, green alter-ego in the Disney+ show.

This comes on the heels of the news that Dead To Me director Kat Coiro wil helm the pilot and several other episodes. Rick and Morty scribe Jessica Gao has also been confirmed to lead the writers room.

In the comics, Walters is an attorney who gains similar powers to The Green Goliath when she receives a blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner. Mark Ruffalo’s involvement hasn’t been made official yet, but the actor has dropped a few hints that he will reprise his MCU role for the show.

Maslany is best known for her Emmy-nominated role in Orphan Black, but she has also appeared in the likes of Diary of the Dead, Stronger and Destroyer. She can currently be seen in HBO’s Perry Mason.

She-Hulk is reportedly scheduled to begin production in Atlanta, Georgia early next year.

What do you make of this casting choice? Can you see Maslany as She-Hulk? Let us know in the comments.

On the heels of last night’s controversial report which suggested that Justice League star Ray Fisher only began his social media campaign against director Joss Whedon and (former) Warner Bros. execs when he was offered a small cameo role in The Flash movie, the actor has updated his followers on the ongoing investigation into his accusations.

Fisher directly responded to The Wrap’s article last night, but he’s now addressed the studio’s recent claims that he has refused to cooperate into the investigation.

The Cyborg actor has accused the studio of “blatant lies,” and officially requested a change in investigator. He has also asked anyone who’s been contacted by the current investigator to decline an interview.

This type of situation involving a major studio and an actor who is (as far as we know) still under contract there is pretty much unprecedented, and has understandably gained a lot of attention online. Fans are obviously hoping that we do get to the bottom of what really happened, but many feel this continuing back-and-forth has become tiresome.

Last November, Fargo and Legion showrunner Noah Hawley signed up to write and direct a new Star Trek film. At the time, it was unclear whether that would include the current franchise’s cast, especially as Paramount had also been working on a Star Trek 4 featuring a returning Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk. 

Throw in another Star Trek film with Quentin Tarantino circling, and it surprised no one earlier this summer when it was revealed Paramount Pictures has put the brakes on these plans to decide on the best possible direction to take the series in. The franchise has found great success on television lately, so it’s no great surprise the studio is being careful about whether to take things next.

It’s been said that Hawley’s film revolves around a virus, and in the current climate, that plot has made it an unfavorable option for the studio. 

The filmmaker didn’t comment on that during a recent interview with Variety, but did confirm that his film wouldn’t revolve around any familiar faces. “We’re not doing Kirk and we’re not doing Picard,” he revealed. “It’s a start from scratch that then allows us to do what we did with Fargo, where for the first three hours you go, ‘Oh, it really has nothing to do with the movie,’ and then you find the money. So you reward the audience with a thing that they love.”

Hawley later confirmed that the script is finished, but the project currently remains on hold.

The PS5 Showcase proved to be a lot of fun, and while we’re still sifting through the biggest announcements from the event, the one we’re sure most of you are interested in is when the PlayStation 5 will be available and, crucially, how much will it cost. 

Well, we now have an answer to both of those lingering questions.

As you can see below, the Digital version will retail for $399.99/£359.99, with the regular one selling for $499.99/£449.99. That was the expected price point, though the former is more expensive than the Xbox Series S. 

As for when it goes on sale, the U.S. (and a lot of other countries) will get it on November 12th, while the rest of the world will have to wait until November 19th. That’s only a week later, of course, but it’s going to be an agonising extra seven days for anyone excited for the console’s launch. 

After this announcement, Sony dropped an unexpected teaser for the next God of War game which, based on the brief teaser, will follow Kratos during Ragnarok. It’s not coming until 2021, though.

Will you be pre-ordering a PlayStation 5?
