Brave New World”, which shares links with movies such as “Eternals” and “The Incredible Hulk“. Actor Tim Blake Nelson reprised his role from the latter, while concept art hinted at a more comic-book accurate appearance for Samuel Sterns/ The Leader in future productions.

It could be challenging to effectively introduce a main character with such an oversized green head, given the potential for it appearing too comical to win over audiences. For instance, the portrayal of M.O.D.O.K., played by Corey Stoll in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, faced criticism regarding its visual effects, character design, and role within the narrative. This may have prompted the studio to be cautious about repeating similar missteps.

It’s intriguing to anticipate the future developments for Tim Blake Nelson’s character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Not only did he manage to survive Anthony Mackie’s blockbuster, but The Leader was hinted at in the post-credits scene of Captain America: Brave New World, suggesting a multiversal conflict that may unfold in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. So, we’ll have to wait and see if or when this character reappears in future Marvel films.

In numerous aspects, “The Incredible Hulk” has often appeared as a standalone film, distinct from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The character of Bruce Banner, played by Mark Ruffalo, was first introduced in “The Avengers”, marking a significant difference between the solo movie and the rest of the MCU. Additionally, most of the characters from that movie did not return, but “Brave New World” brought back Liv Tyler’s character Betty Ross, who was absent online. Although her role was minimal, it served to link the 2008 film to the larger shared universe.

Stream “Captain America: Brave New World” right now on Disney+, and mark your calendars for July 25th when “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” premieres in theaters, a part of the 2025 movie lineup. Whether Tim Blake Nelson reappears in the MCU as The Leader remains to be seen, but he seems privy to the impending conflict’s secrets.
