Certain Marvel actors have been well-trained in how to avoid saying the wrong thing in interviews, but having been out of the Marvel game for some time it could be thatTim Rothneeds to go back to Secret School after seemingly revealed a spoiler for his upcoming return as The Abomination in the Disney+She-Hulkseries. While speaking toThe DisInsiderabout his return to the Marvel fold, Roth revealed some details about his next appearance that were not yet known and possibly would have been held back a little longer if Disney and Marvel Studios had their way.Spoilers forShe-Hulkare coming.
Tim Roth made an unexpected comeback to the MCU when he appeared in Abomination form duringShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.While that role only required the star to record a voiceover for the short cameo, his next appearance inShe-Hulkis a much bigger role and Roth is more than happy to be back as the character, who will seemingly be transformed back into his human form of Emil Blonsky in the series.
During the interview, Roth was asked if he would also be appearing in human form in the series, and without hesitation he answered, “Oh yeah!” He added that fans should “expect to see a bit of everything in [it]” and praised Tatiana Maslany as a “powerhouse.” Of course, Roth did not go as far as to detail any specific plot points on the new Disney+ series, and other than being told officially that the series will take the form of a “half-hour legal comedy,” we have no idea of what to expect when it arrives next year. However, there are a few solid theories out there.

She-Hulk Could See Bruce Banner Discovering a “Cure” For The Hulk
There are a number of theories about what could happen inShe-Hulk. As the series is being described as a comedy, there have been a lot of questions as to how this will fit in with the rest of the Marvel Universe. Considering the upcomingMoon Knightseems to delve into a darker, violent story,She-Hulkshould be relatively light and airy in comparison. One of the biggest theories for a sub-plot of the series involves Bruce Banner’s recent appearance inShang-Chi’s post-credit scene as himself and not Smart Hulk.
The short teaser released forShe-Hulkshowed Banner in Smart Hulk form working in his laboratory, although inShang-Chihe was back as his human self. With the series seeing Maslany’s Jennifer Walters rumored to gain her “green giant” powers from Banner, it would be plausible for the scientist to try and work out how to “cure” her of the curse that has plagued him for years.
Tim Roth confirming that the Abomination will appear in human form could mean that Banner produces a serum that reverses the one used by Blonsky to become The Abomination back in 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk, which in turn could be used to transform himself back into Bruce Banner and suppress the Hulk. Ifrumors of a World War Hulk movie being in the worksare true, then stifling Hulk in this could well act as a catalyst to that happening somewhere in the future.
