Disney Plus’ new MCU show She-Hulk is all set to release on August 17 and its going to be one hell of a ride. It is said to be a humor filled series with lots of courtroom drama and of course some cool action scenes. At this point, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Tim Roth’s Abomination are confirmed to star alongside Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk. That aside, Charlie Cox’ Daredevil and Howard the Duck have also been teased to appear by the makers, though not in the way you’d expect. We confirmed news that Wong in returning in She-Hulk as well and today we have the runtimes for the first few episodes of the series.
She-Hulk Episode Count and Runtimes Leaked
When I heard She Hulk was going to be 9 episodes long, I got excited that Marvel had finally made an actual TV show. Until now, except for WandaVision every series has felt like an extended film rather than a TV show. All other shows except What If spanned barely 6 episodes and even though What If was 9 episodes long, its per episode duration was around 30 minutes. Hence, so far Marvel has failed to completely and properly utilize the TV format and I hoped it would be different with She-Hulk. But it seems like that is not the case as even though it spans 9 episodes, its episode lengths are sitcom like.
Some lucky viewers have already watched the first 4 episodes of She Hulk, and have leaked the exact length of the episodes without the credits, which are as follows:
- Episode 1: 30 minutes and 23 seconds
- Episode 2: 22 minutes and 53 seconds
- Episode 3: 27 minutes and 3 seconds
- Episode 4: 28 minutes and 34 seconds
The exact length of the She-Hulk first four episodes including the credits are as follows:
- Episode 1: 35 minutes
- Episode 2: 28 minutes
- Episode 3: 32 minutes
- Episode 4: 34 minutes
Another important detail here is that all episodes have mid-credits scenes, so remember to look out for them. These mid-credits scenes might turn out to be in a classic F.R.I.E.N.D.S like format where a single gag connected to something in that episode takes place. Anyways, I am quite disappointed with the length of the show once again, but I like they are trying out the sitcom style. If they made it 13 episodes long, it would have been satisfactory on both notes.
She-Hulk will premiere on Wednesday, August 17 only on Disney Plus.
