Megan Fox is being lined up to play She-Hulk.

The "Transformers" star is favourite to portray the giant green female in the big screen adaptation of the popular comic book series about The Incredible Hulk's cousin.

A source said: "'She-Hulk' comics are popular so it's only natural that the character makes the transition to the big screen.

"The idea is to make She-Hulk sexier but even more savage than the Hulk, which is why Megan is the big favorite for the lead. She'll be green of course and will have to hang on to a few more pieces of clothes than the male version when she transforms!"

If the movie goes ahead the 22-year-old actress will play lawyer Jennifer Walters, who dramatically transforms into the powerful monster when she is angry.

Comic book fan Nicolas Cage recently admitted he wants his "Ghost Rider" co-star Eva Mendes to be considered for the part.

Nicolas - who is closely involved with the production of the movie - said: "I'm working on 'She-Hulk' and I'd like to see Eva play her. I'm trying to put that together as we speak."
