She-Hulkis gearing up for its finale with a teaser trailer that just barely shows Bruce Banner returning to fight Abomination, however, the biggest thing to look out for this week might not be a green Hulk, but a Red Hulk instead.
Ever since Jennifer Walters entered the MCU as the world’s second Hulk, the show introduced some characters who are fascinated withShe-Hulk’s blood as some bad guys try to seize her gamma powers for their own villainous purposes. It makes perfect sense then to pay off that plot line with some kind of creature squaring off against the two cousins, yet the one to do so could very well be a Red Hulk variant, despite the character being believed to be out of contentiondue to William Hurt’s passing.

As several YouTubers and social media users have pointed out (viaThe Direct), Jen may have alerted viewers to all of this. This week’s teaser shows a brief glance at an unknown red figure that pops up during the Hulk and Abomination rematch that seems to be taking place. While Marvel Studios' official 30-second trailer introduces very little new footage, right at the 0:25 mark there’s a distinctly red arm near Emil and Bruce, which adds some mystery to the series’ 35-minute finale.
So who is this mystery figure exactly? Well, the biggest candidate right now is Jen’s undesired suitor and client Todd, who’s practically been revealed to beone of the Intelligencia mastermindsand seems utterly obsessed with She-Hulk’s powers. Nevertheless, consideringShe-Hulk’s proclivity to using obscure comic book characters, it could also be Madman, one of The Leader’s henchmen, though that one seems a bit unlikely given there’s no other reference to either character in the show.
It’s almost impossible to imagine Hurt’s Thunderbolt Ross being recast this way, so there’s also the chance that a random Intelligencia user could be the one getting enough gamma exposure to transform them into some kind of red monstrosity. Since Samuel Sterns, a.k.a. The Leader, is already confirmed to beaCaptain America: New World Ordervillain,She-Hulkwould appear to be one of the best MCU chapters to give fans a first taste of Tim Blake Nelson’s disfigured return.
Whatever the case,She-Hulk’s writers must have planned some surprises for the series finale, and the location of Abomination and Hulk’s fight already promises to explain what kind of strange mindfulness guru Emil has become, even if it’s nottheWorld War Hulkpreviewsome fans might have hoped for.
She-Hulkis currently available on Disney Plus.
