Angie Harmon revealed to EW.com that she wants to play She-Hulk (so much in fact that the photo above comes from her). 

“I have to be her,” Harmon said. “You don’t understand. I have to be her. It’s the best quote ever when The Hulk turns around and goes ‘I’m always angry.’ I was like, Ohmygod! I stood up in the theater and literally cheered. I did.”

When asked about wearing the Green Giantess’ skimpier outfits…

”I would rock
that like there is no tomorrow. I would kill that outfit. I’d put these
36Cs on display. Boom!” she said. “And what about her libido? That’s 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.] But apparently, she’s normal size.”

community desperate for help and looking to recover his late Russian
father’s ill-gotten fortune. Nothing about this young man seems to add
up; is he a victim or a thief or, worse still, an extremist intent on
destruction? Drawn into this web of intrigue were a British private
banker and a young female lawyer determined to defend the defenseless.
All the while, they are being watched by the brilliant, roguish chief of
a covert German spy unit (Hoffman), who fights to put the pieces
together as the clock ticks.”
