She-Hulk was originally “bigger” before CGI feedback, claims Marvel VFX artist
The trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the upcoming MCU series starring Tatiana Maslany as the title character, has provoked some strong reactions to its CGI – and now a Marvel VFX artist has claimed that the character originally looked a little different.
“I was with a company that made VFX for this,” VFX artist Sean Ruecroft, who previously worked on Moon Knight, tweeted. “Apparently she was bigger early on, but the banknotes kept saying ‘you should make her smaller.’ We always roll our eyes (as we did at Sonic), but at the end of the day, artists have to follow orders.”
The tweet refers to comments pointing out that She-Hulk is not as big as her male cousin, Bruce Banner (AKA AND Hulk). According to IMDb, Ruecroft was working on visual effects for Moon Knight, and his other credits include Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War. GamesRadar + has contacted Disney for a comment.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows attorney Jennifer Walters, who begins to become a strong, green version of herself after receiving a blood transfusion from Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo).
The cast also includes MCU veterans Benedict Wong as Wong and Tim Roth as Abomination alongside Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry. The nine episodes will be directed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia, while Jessica Gao acts as showrunner.
She-Hulk: Lawyer arrives Disney Plus on August 17th. While we wait, make sure you are up to date with the MCU with our complete guide to Marvel Phase 4.
