Disney+’s She-Hulk did not include Spider-Man because of legal issues

Spider-Man wasn’t allowed to appear in Disney+’s She-Hulk because Disney doesn’t want Spider-Man to be in any Marvel TV shows outside of the MCU.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is a popular franchise, but Marvel and Disney are making sure to keep it as exclusive as possible. In an interview with ComicBook.com, She-Hulk herself – actress Mallory Jansen ­- revealed that Spider-Man was too busy in his narrative to make it into any of the Marvel TV shows taking place outside the MCU.

“Spiderman is not allowed on any Disney+ show,” she said when asked if he would be appearing on her upcoming show She-Hulk.

Introduction to The She-Hulk

The She-Hulk movie is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character She-Hulk, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is scheduled to be released in 2018.

The film stars Jennifer Walters as the titular character, with a cast also including Michael Rooker, Chris Meloni, and Terry Crews.

It is directed by Nacho Vigalondo of Open Windows and Extraterrestrial, who took over after Joe Johnston left the project due to creative differences; Johnston had been attached since December 2013 (with a different script) but departed from writing duties in June 2014 after creative disagreements with Marvel brass over the direction of his screenplay.

Story of The She-Hulk

In this climate, it’s no wonder that the live-action adaptation of Marvel’s She-Hulk is still trapped in development limbo. But back in 2003, Marvel Entertainment had high hopes for a big screen outing for their fan-favorite female character – hopes that were silenced when the company was bought out by Disney and vast swathes of its catalog were suddenly deemed less than family-friendly.

Ten years later, the possibility of reviving any property with ties to Marvel’s deeply troubled past remains remote at best… but there are strong reasons to think that She-Hulk deserves a new lease on life.

The premiere of Marvel’s The Defenders only lasted one episode due to a leak days before the release date. That doesn’t mean the Twitterverse hasn’t been buzzing with support for Maslany’s role as Claire Temple, AKA “She-Hulk.”

There is one particular tweet that is making waves on the internet. It’s posted by actress Tatiana Maslany herself and it reads: “I just want to say thank you India, I love y’all.”

The response was incredible and now social media has gone mad with everyone wishing them a good Rakhi festival! Here’s hoping these two ladies have a fantastic time together.
