Thanks to promo art for Captain America: Brave New World, we get a first look at The Leader.
Tim Blake Nelson returns from the 2008 Incredible Hulk movie to play the character, Samuel Sterns, who in the comics is a Hulk villain who has been subjected to gamma radiation and instead of hulking muscles, has a hulking brain.
Check out the promo art below.
You’re gonna see the Leader in a big way
Recently talking with Comic Book.com, Nelson told the site, “You’re gonna see me in a big way. What they’ve come up with is great.”
Reportedly, Tim Blake Nelson will look like The Leader from the comics who is green and has an enlarged brain.
Rumors have offered Captain America 4 will be about Hulks – that’s in the plural – but oddly, while Mark Ruffalo said he is returning for Brave New World, Marvel PR apparently contacted the trades to have them report that Ruffalo had misspoken.
It’s though since Harrison Ford is playing Thaddeus Ross that Ford will also be suiting up as the Red Hulk.

What is Captain America: Brave New World about?
Captain America: Brave New World gets released on Feb. 14, 2025 and has been undergoing massive reshoots, said to be due to Marvel wanting to make it as good as the previous Captain America movies.
Director Julius Onah previously described the flick as a paranoid thriller.
The film stars Anthony Mackie who returns as Sam Wilson, aka the new Cap, with Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres / Falcon, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, and Shira Haas as Sabra.
