\"\"<\/a>When a film becomes such a hit that it enters the global consciousness, it tends to encourage famous people to come out and profess their love for the movie franchise–and campaign for a role in it. The most famous example of this is Samuel L. Jackson, a fan of the Star Wars <\/strong>franchise who campaigned for–and won–the chance to be a character in prequel trilogy.<\/p>\n

Add Angie Harmon to that list. The former Law and Order<\/strong> and Baywatch Nights<\/strong> star has let in be known: she wants to play the Marvel comic character She-Hulk. She really, really wants to.<\/p>\n

She-Hulk, in the comic books, is Jennifer Walters,\u00a0a Los Angeles lawyer who happens to be a cousin to Bruce Banner. When she is shot by members of an organized crime family she was trying to bring to justice, cousin Bruce was on hand to give her a blood transfusion that saved her life. As we all know, Bruce\u00a0Banner is also the Hulk, and he passed\u00a0his\u00a0“curse” onto Jennifer, who became able to turn into a female version of the Hulk called She-Hulk.<\/p>\n

The character, created by Stan Lee and John Buscema in 1980, has had\u00a0a number of series in her name, and has been a member of the Fantastic\u00a0Four and, you guessed it, The Avengers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Harmon has been tweeting her\u00a0desire to play the character for a while now. The picture to the left is a photo of Harmon “getting into character” that Harmon shared on Twitter. A fan doctored the original photo so it was color-correct, and Harmon tweeted that shot as well.<\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly <\/a>reports that during the Turner networks up fronts, where Harmon was promoting the third season of her current series, Rizzoli and Isles<\/strong>, Harmon couldn’t stop talking about how much she loved The Avengers<\/strong>. Talk soon turned to her desire to play She-Hulk:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to be her,\u201d Harmon said. \u201cYou don\u2019t understand. I have<\/em> to be her. It\u2019s the best quote ever when The Hulk turns around and goes \u2018I\u2019m always angry.\u2019 I was like, Ohmygod!<\/em> I stood up in the theater and literally cheered. I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

And she\u2019d be fine wearing She-Hulk\u2019s skimpy costume? \u201dI would rock that like there is no tomorrow. I would kill that outfit. I\u2019d put these 36Cs on display. Boom!\u201d she said. \u201cAnd what about her libido? That\u2019s my favorite part. She-Hulk, bed! She-Hulk, screw! Can you imagine? Then she just picks him up and throws him around the room like the Hulk did with the bad guy. [Makes smashing noises.<\/em>] But apparently, she\u2019s normal size.\u201d Well, no role is perfect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, we\u00a0can\u00a0learn\u00a0two things from that quote: Harmon’s breast size and that she seems really enthusiastic about the character. Add to this to the fact that earlier in the article\u00a0she was schooling Mark-Paul Gosselaar (also there for the Turner up fronts) on the history and origins of the character, and it appears that Angie Harmon is a She-Hulk fan girl. More power to her. My respect for her has grown.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to tell if Harmon is completely serious, joking, or a combination of the two, but I think Marvel studios could do worse than consider Harmon for the role if they ever decide to bring She-Hulk to the big screen. Especially considering that in the 1990s we came close to having Brigitte Nielsen play the character on film. And her origin story could be a good B-plot for and Incredible Hulk <\/strong>film, if Marvel decides to make one with Mark Ruffalo.<\/p>\n

So far, there has been nothing in Marvel’s future plans for a film version of She-Hulk. But you got to love Angie Harmon to keep trying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The actress is “campaigning” for the part by letting her geek flag fly.<\/div>\n
