It looks like Marvel Studios has finally found a lead actress to take on the She-Hulk mantle in an upcoming Disney+ series: Tatiana Maslany!

According to a report from Deadline, the Orphan Black star and Human Rights Campaign's 2018 Ally for Equality will be playing the badass, strong AF superheroine in a live-action adaptation of the underrated Marvel Comics character.

For those not in the know, She-Hulk (whose civilian name is Jennifer Susan Walters) first appeared in her own comic series, The Savage She-Hulk, back in 1980 and was the last major character to be created by the legendary Stan Lee, Deadline reports. Her powers include superhuman strength, speed, and regeneration, and she is a cousin of Bruce Banner, who we all know better simply as Hulk.

Naturally, the news of the Emmy-winning actress, who played queer in the Canadian sci-fi thriller Orphan Black and the short film Apart From Everything, excited many fans who have been dying to see She-Hulk join the increasingly popular Marvel Cinematic Universe for quite some time. Even beloved, Emmy-winning Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo himself took to Twitter to congratulate Tatiana on the new role and welcome her to the Marvel fam!
