Marvel’s Avengers has become a fan-favorite project to follow for Marvel fans. Sadly, however, it looks like the inclusion of She-Hulk has been cancelled.
The character has recently acquired a newfound popularity with the Disney Plus series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Nevertheless, eXputer reports that the studio behind Marvel’s Avengers has thrown out plans to include She-Hulk with their roster of playable characters.
First, they note that the character already appeared to be in development for the video game. In fact, they even state that Krizia Bajos would be the voice behind the character:
“The absence of She-Hulk specifically has long haunted Marvel’s Avengers, with multiple accidental confirmations this past year of not only her presence in the pipeline but also the identity of her voice actress Krizia Bajos.”
Additionally, the character was said to have been in active development as far back as late 2021.
“Sources tell me that She-Hulk was in active development in late 2021 by mostly external partners and was shelved when Avengers shifted entirely in-house under Waggoner, a byproduct of the existing long-term strategy being overhauled.”
Unfortunately, their plans to continue working on the comic book character did not work out hence why She-Hulk appears to be cancelled. As explained:
“The intention was to resume work on the character at a time when the team had sized up and could support development at a scale large enough to create wholly original gameplay, after a period of smaller content drops and onboarding improvements to demonstrate the title’s worthiness of further capital injections. Suffice to say, this did not ultimately come to pass.”
Of course, these details have yet to be confirmed by the official developers. Though it does line up with the path the game has taken so far. Especially with their focus on multiplayer and the development of Jane Foster, aka Mighty Thor as opposed to She-Hulk. So for fans hoping to see the superhero attorney in Marvel’s Avengers – you might be disappointed.
Marvel’s Avengers is currently available to play on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
