"I can't believe I get to say this but…." read text written over the video, set to "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
The video then cuts to a clip of Jamil working on fight choreography with a co-worker. Both wore masks as they traded fake punches and kicks.

"She-Hulk" will follow Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslaney), a New York lawyer and cousin of Bruce Banner (also known as the Hulk), who obtains similar powers of super-strength.
