Eliza Dushku To Play She-Hulk In New Hulk Cartoon

by Ryan Rigley

Hulk fans, rejoice! During an interview with former "Heroes" actor Adrian Pasdar, IGN learned that the not-so-jolly green giant's latest cartoon series will feature the vocal talents of Eliza Dushku as She-Hulk. Pasdar, who voices Iron Man on "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Marvel Anime: Iron Man," will also be reprising his role in a guest appearance on "Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H."

Whedonites will undoubtedly be happy to hear that Dushku, another Joss Whedon alum, will be joining the ranks of superheroes in the Marvel universe. Even though it's not the "live-action" Marvel universe, there's always that chance of the two merging the gap. After all, Whedon is currently playing a huge hand in the Marvel movie universe and it's no secret that the two enjoy working together. Plus, Dushku would make a phenomenal live-action She-Hulk!

After being shot by a gang of mobsters, Jennifer Walters (Bruce Banner's cousin) was rushed to the hospital for a blood transfusion. With no other compatible blood donors in the immediate area, Bruce Banner donates his blood to his little cousin for the operation. Now, a portion of the gamma-irradiated blood that once coursed through Banner's veins is circulating inside of Jennifer's body. Calling herself She-Hulk, Jennifer has been a vital member of several different superpowered teams to date: including the Avengers, the Defenders, and the Fantastic Four.

Although there's no official word yet on what She-Hulk's role in the show will entail, we're hoping to get a look at her in action as the highly skilled lawyer that she's become in the comic book universe. As ridiculous as it sounds, She-Hulk has served as legal counsel to a number of superheroes over the years. It's only fair that the animated She-Hulk shares the same law-abiding sensibility.

In addition to She-Hulk, "Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H." will feature Red Hulk, Skaar (Son of Hulk), A-Bomb, and of course, the ever-incredible Hulk himself. No word on what villains will be making an appearance yet, but we're pretty sure that Leader and Doc Samson are a fairly safe bet to make.
