One of the most anticipated projects in the works at Marvel Studios is the Disney+ series She-Hulk. Outside of reports and rumors of characters like Red Hulk and Betty Ross appearing, the show largely remains a mystery. However, as first reported by Deadline, director and screenwriter Kat Coiro will serve as executive producer and director for the upcoming series.

The news comes out just months away from Coiro’s latest release Marry Me, starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson. Moreover, the filmmaker’s filmography points to the experience necessary to tackle a big Marvel property. Over the last few years, Coiro inhabited the director’s chair for shows like Dead To Me, Shameless, Modern Family, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Per the initial report, Coiro will helm the show’s pilot as well as other episodes throughout its first season. As previously reported, Rick and Morty scribe Jessica Gao will be leading the writing team for She-Hulk.
