Jen and Matt flirt in Marvel Comics
There is no precedent for their romance in Marvel comics. In fact, they’ve only conversed a few times in all of Marvel history. You’d think the lawyer superheroes would have storylines together, but that’s not the case. However, when they met in the comics, their relationship appears to be one of mutual respect, mild teasing, and flirtation. They also clashed in court for a case. Daredevil and She-Hulk seem like friends who help each other out in times of need. But the MCU could very well deviate from that and put some real effort into making their relationship feel appropriate and realistic. Unlike how Bruce and Natasha were treated.
Their future in the MCU
Matt and Jen are sitting on the roof
As of now, things are pretty uncertain about their future in the MCU. But given the fan reaction, Marvel might consider making a She-Hulk appearance in a few episodes of Daredevil: Born Again which is the next Daredevil project. We would see Jen in her world for a change. Marvel could also use their dynamic to have her interact with other mainstream MCU superheroes.
