Goldsberry would play a character referred to Amelia. Ginger Gonzaga was recently cast as Walters’ best friend. As announced at Disney Investor Day, Avengers star Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as The Hulk and Tim Roth is reprising his Hulk character of The Abomination on She-Hulk.
Reps for Marvel and Goldsberry declined comment.
The She-Hulk series is directed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia, with Jessica Gao serving as head writer.
Goldsberry plays one of the leads in Girls5eva, Tina Fey, Robert Carlock and Meredith Scardino’s new series for NBCU’s Peacock.

Her recent credits also include the feature Waves, Netflix’s Altered Carbon and NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. Goldsberry is repped by UTA, Untitled, and attorney Adam Cooper.
