After being set up by Intelligencia and being kicked out from her job, Jen does her best to bring those who wronged her to justice. Going to Emil’s retreat, she learns there that Todd has been behind the group the entire time and took her blood so that he could turn into the Hulk. This where the chaotic chain of events begins as She-Hulk breaks the fourth wall to do rewrites on her own show with Bruce Banner, Titania and everyone jumping down out of nowhere and joining the fight.
With the ending of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, we saw a lot of setups for the MCU’s future that might hint at some iconic stories from comic books coming to life. One of those stories being World War Hulk, the storyline that pitted Hulk against everyone, and it looks like the Big Green’s story might be heading in that direction. So, let’s take a look at how World War Hulk was set up at the end of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
How Does She-Hulk Set up the World War Hulk Storyline?
At the beginning of the show, we see Hulk leave for Sakaar after being attacked by a ship from the planet. While his whereabouts remain unknown, Bruce shows up out of nowhere during the finale and introduces his son Skaar. Yes, the Hulk now has a son in the MCU. However, this is hinting towards the iconic story from the comics.
With the introduction of Skaar, it looks like the MCU might be building up towards a World War Hulk storyline. While some differences are bound to happen, in the comics the story saw Hulk come back to Earth with a vengeance after he was sent away to Sakaar by the Avengers.
When the ship that he came to Sakaar in caused a massive explosion and destroyed an entire city on the planet, Hulk’s pregnant wife was caught in the blast. This would enrage him and cause him to lose his cool which would send him down on a warpath. However, his unborn child Skaar would still survive that.
While the MCU has already glanced over the Planet Hulk build up of Bruce Banner’s story, with shades of it even being present in Thor: Ragnarok, it looks like Marvel Studios might be gearing up for a very different take on the iconic story from the comics. With rumours of a Hulk movie in development running rampant online, we can expect this to be a vocal point.
It still remains to be seen though what might tick Bruce Banner off to send him down a warpath considering so much of the story has already been changed. With Jennifer being a proper lawyer too now and Skaar being in the mix, the world of Hulks in MCU seems to be growing on a steady rate with the Leader also set to show up in Captain America: New World Order.

Here is hoping we get to see She-Hulk and the family of Hulks soon again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Considering that there were hints about a season two dropped here as well with Jennifer constantly breaking the fourth wall and pitching her ideas, it's safe to say we will see her soon again.
