Though the Oscar and Golden Globe nominee previously expressed doubt he’d be able to reprise the role ever again under the Marvel Studios banner, Kevin Feige has confirmed that Tim Roth is set to return as Abomination from the Edward Norton-led The Incredible Hulk in the Tatiana Maslany-led Disney+ series She-Hulk.

The 34-year-old actress first broke out with her lead multi-roles on the BBC’s Orphan Black, for which she was nominated for three Emmys and a Golden Globe and brought home the former in 2016, and after providing her voice to a handful of animated series she recently returned to the live-action world of television in HBO’s revival of Perry Mason, which was recently renewed for a second season.
The She-Hulk series was officially announced by Marvel’s chief creative officer Kevin Feige last year along with two other MCU shows Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight. This marks the iconic superheroes’ live-action debut who are also expected to be featured in future MCU films.

The series will be developed and written by Jessica Gao, who is the Emmy-winning scribe behind Rick and Morty‘s acclaimed Season 3 episode “Pickle Rick.”
She-Hulk debuted in Marvel Comics’ “Savage She-Hulk” #1 in 1980, created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema. Her alter ego is Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner/Hulk, who after being shot is provided a blood transfusion from Bruce that turns her into a similar green monster. She later became a member of the Avengers and briefly replaced Ben Grimm in The Fantastic Four.
