Brave New World brings back one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most underutilized villains after a 16-year absence. Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) was last seen in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk when exposure to Bruce Banner’s blood triggered his transformation.

Captain America: Brave New World never actually refers to returning Incredible Hulk character Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) as The Leader — cowardly, if you ask me. But when the supervillain’s bulbous green head is on screen, Brave New World doesn’t skimp.

Actor Tim Blake Nelson's wonderfully goofy take on the Leader helps forgive a lot of the clunkier parts of Brave New World. But the character would have been so much more impressive had it followed the model set by the groundbreaking comic book series The Immortal Hulk.
