Mark 'The Hulk' Ruffalo extends warm welcome to 'She-Hulk' lead actor Tatiana Maslany

Mark Ruffalo, who played the role of the intelligent Dr. Bruce Banner and the big green superhero 'The Hulk' in Marvel's Cinematic Universe, on Twitter extended a warm welcome to actor Tatiana Maslany "to the family" as news of her joining Disney's mini-series She-Hulk as the lead broke out. Maslany will portray the role of Jennifer Walters, an attorney and cousin of Bruce Banner who gains powers from him after an emergency blood transfusion. However, unlike The Hulk, She-Hulk will be able to keep her intelligence and personality even after she 'Hulks out'.
