The Disney+ She-Hulk series has cast Ginger Gonzaga as Jennifer Walters’ best friend. The character’s name was not announced.
Gonzaga shared her reaction on Twitter, stating “I’m beyond excited to join #Shehulk.” She went on to write “Thanks @Marvel & @disneyplus 4 your support & having me in the fam!”
She is known for comedy work with recurring roles on Mixology and Wrecked, as well as voicing in Family Guy.
In the comics, She-Hulk’s best friend is Patsy Walker/Hellcat, a character who appeared in the Netflix show, Jessica Jones, played by Rachael Taylor. There are rumors that Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter may reprise her role in the MCU, which means Taylor could follow. That would leave room for a different character to play Jennifer’s best friend.
She-Hulk is developed by Jessica Gao and Tatiana Maslany will star as the titular character. Mark Ruffalo returns as Bruce Banner and Tim Roth will reprise his role as Abomination, originated in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Disney+ has not announced a premiere date yet, but has confirmed that the first season will air ten episodes.
