Nothing confirms an actor's participation in an anticipated project like a hard-hitting training video. Earlier today, The Good Place's Jameela Jamil posted a fight choreography video to her Tik Tok account, signaling that she is indeed a part of Marvel's She-Hulk TV series.

"I can't believe I get to say this but…" the caption reads as a masked Jamil throws limbs to the tune of "Eye of the Tiger." "Fighting my way through the MCU, coming to you in 2022!" At the end of the short video, Jamil posts the hashtag #AnthingIsPossibleKids, which gives me the impression that this is a dream come true for the uber-talented actress.

Back in June, it was reported that Jamil would be joining the cast of She-Hulk for a major role. While her character has yet to be confirmed by Marvel, many believe that she will suit up as Titania, a Marvel supervillain with the strength to rival She-Hulk herself.

She-Hulk will center on Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany), a lawyer and cousin of Bruce Banner who inherits his Hulk powers after receiving a blood transfusion from him. However, unlike her cousin, Jennifer can retain much of her personality, intelligence, and emotional control when she transforms. In addition to Tatiana Maslany, She-Hulk will star Ginger Gonzaga and Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk and Tim Roth as The Abomination, a role he hasn't played since The Incredible Hulk more than a decade ago.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed last year that the She-Hulk series will be a half-hour legal comedy, which Feige acknowledged is something they've never done before. Feige also said that the story will be staying true to the She-Hulk comics from writer/artist John Byrne, which should give you a clue in regards to the tone of the series. For me, this means plenty of breaking of the fourth wall, bizarre character interactions, and legal drama that calls the laws of the MCU into question.
