Fans continue to be surprised by the direction the Marvel Cinematic Universe is taking after Endgame, and the return of Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns – also known as The Leader – has been a particularly unexpected addition to the villain roster. Now that Nelson has rejoined the franchise with Captain America: Brave New World, he’s spoken about whether he’ll appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie.
Tim Blake Nelson on when his MCU villain will return after Captain America 4
Tim Blake Nelson, promoting his novel Superhero, recently discussed his plans after portraying a key villain in Brave New World. Although he didn’t officially say he’d be in Avengers: Doomsday, he strongly hinted he’s eager to reprise the role, stating he hopes fans won’t have to wait another 16 years, according to ComicBook.
This comment has led fans to believe Sterns might return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe soon. He played a key part in Brave New World, and the post-credits scene hinted at future events. In that scene, The Leader predicted a coming conflict with “the others,” suggesting he can foresee dangers across different universes. This makes him a valuable source of information, and it’s likely the Avengers will need to seek his help – setting the stage for his return in a future installment.
Tim Blake Nelson surprised Marvel fans by returning as Samuel Sterns in Captain America: Brave New World. Many thought The Leader would reappear in a future Hulk movie, but Marvel surprised everyone by making him a key part of Sam Wilson’s first movie as Captain America.
In addition to playing The Leader in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, actor Tim Blake Nelson talked about writing his book, which was influenced by his experiences working on large-scale Hollywood films. While Marvel fans are eager to see if The Leader will return in a future Avengers movie, Nelson seems optimistic about the possibility.
