She-Hulk Just Teased a Major Marvel Character’s MCU Entrance

She-Hulk’s second episode has just teased the entrance of a major character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Early in the episode as Jen Walters is scrolling down a news website, one headline on the right hand side of the page features a tiny mention of something that only eagle-eyed fans could notice on their first viewing.

The following paragraphs feature minor spoilers for Episode 2 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and the Miss Marvel finale.

“Man fights with metal claws in bar brawl,” the headline reads, a fairly blatant tease that some version of Wolverine is already in the MCU. Nothing else was said about it, and the mention wasn’t even the focal point of a scene that lasted just a few seconds, but it’s clear that the X-Men teaser train has left the station at Marvel Studios.

It officially introduced the concept of the X-Men, or at least mutants, in its previous Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, mentioning in the series finale that protagonist Kamala Khan’s genes featured something “like a mutation”. Though this could mean anything in a universe with Hulks, Super Soldiers, and so on, Marvel made the reference fairly explicit by playing the X-Men: The Animated Series theme song on top of the scene.

The webpage in She-Hulk also features a joke at the MCU’s expense, rifting off a common Eternals meme as it reads: “Why there is a giant statue of a man sticking out of the ocean”.

Marvel Studios’ first proper comedy sitcom is proving a success so far, as IGN said it was great in our reviews of the first and second episode, most recently commenting that “She-Hulk Episode 2 strikes a great balance between important issues and sitcom hilarity.”
