'She-Hulk' first trailer: She's not a superhero, she's just a very strong lawyer

She-Hulk is nearly here, and this enormous woman will not devour us all — but she might swipe right on you on Tinder.

The first full trailer for Marvel's series about the big green gal, subtitled Attorney At Law, sees Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) wrestling with what seem to be newish powers, with the help of Bruce Banner aka Nerd Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). The big green guy — her cousin in the comics, and described as "family" in this trailer — clearly has the resources to stress-test her with an array of power saws, among other things.

"Your transformations are triggered by anger and fear," Banner tells Jennifer.

"Those are, like, the baseline of any woman just existing," she replies.

In amongst some fun nods to the early-80s aesthetic of the original The Incredible Hulk TV show, we see plenty of shots of Jennifer hulking out in court, dealing with media attention, going on dates as her green alter ego, and doing her own superhero landing pose that, thankfully, isn't just Natasha's trademark power stance. Maslany, meanwhile, hasn't lost any of the whip-smart screen presence that made her a fan favorite playing multiple selves on Orphan Black.

"Oh, I'm not a superhero," Jennifer assures her BFF. "That is for billionaires and narcissists, and adult orphans, for some reason."

She-Hulk premieres on Disney+ on August 17.
