Tim Blake Nelson recently addressed his upcoming return as The Leader in Captain America: Brave New World.
The upcoming MCU film will not only focus on Anthony Mackie's first solo adventure as the new Captain America, but it will also bring back some of the characters from 2008's The Incredible Hulk including The Leader.
So far, the details regarding the villain's return are still under wraps, but a lot of fans are curious to see how it all plays out and whether we will see the character have a comic-accurate look.
Tim Blake Nelson Teases The Leader in Captain America: Brave New World
In a recent interview, Nelson teased his upcoming return as Samuel Sterns/The Leader in Captain America: Brave New World.
While he didn't share any spoiler details about his character's storyline, he hinted that there is an unexpected reason behind The Leader's return and revealed that he was about to work the reshoots.
"Very excited about it. I'm headed to Atlanta tomorrow to continue working on that. It's been very exciting to bring back a character from 16 years ago and imagine how he has aged with me and how that has manifested," the actor said.
"The Marvel team has come up with a really interesting explanation—revelation, I should say, as to what he's been up to for 16 years and why."
Considering where the character was left off by the end of The Incredible Hulk, there is a lot of explanation that the film has to do for The Leader's return and hopefully, there is a worthwhile backstory that is interesting enough.
Another question that fans have been wondering is whether the film will have multiple villains since Giancarlo Esposito is also playing an antagonistic character and the Red Hulk is also expected to be part of the action.
Nevertheless, it is great to see Nelson reprise his role again after many years and fans will look forward to seeing his reappearance when they see the film early next year.
Captain America: Brave New World is slated for release in theaters on February 14, 2025.
