As a seasoned gamer and Marvel fan with over 20 years of comic book-inspired gaming under my belt, I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming release of Captain America: Brave New World! The reveal of Tim Blake Nelson’s The Leader in all his Hulk-like glory has sent shockwaves through the fandom.
As the release date for “Captain America: Brave New World” draws closer, there’s been an increasing amount of news about the film. Notably, fans recently got a sneak peek at Tim Blake Nelson’s portrayal of The Leader, who will play the antagonist in Captain America 4. This marks Nelson’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after over 15 years since his debut in 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk”. To offer a glimpse into The Leader’s appearance, Funko has revealed designs for their upcoming pop figurine line.
The Leader looks very different in Captain America: Brave New World Funko Pops
Giant collectors showcased on social media platforms a variety of freshly unveiled Funko Pop figures of Captain America, which also feature the character portrayed by Tim Blake Nelson.
According to a post on X (previously known as Twitter), shared by Funko Pops, Captain America 4’s leader has a Hulk-like green color. The figurine also depicts Samuel Sterns in a common outfit, consisting of a checkered shirt and a brown coat. Despite his head being larger than usual, Sterns’ appearance in the figure seems to convey more nuance compared to his comic book character.
Beyond just The Leader, the latest Funko Pop updates have given a modern makeover to several significant characters too. These include Captain America (portrayed by Anthony Mackie), Falcon (Danny Ramirez), Sabra (Shira Haas), and Red Hulk (Harrison Ford).
Even after a long wait, Tim Blake Nelson has shown his enthusiasm about playing The Leader again in Captain America 4. In a recent chat, he spoke about his upcoming role and thanked Marvel Studios officials for bringing him back. “I was devastated when I thought I wouldn’t return as The Leader,” Nelson said. He also added, “But now I’m grateful it took 16 years because it’s made the character more intriguing.
Audience members who enjoy Nelson’s acting style won’t want to miss his depiction of The Leader in Captain America: A Daring New Era, set to premiere in cinemas nationwide on Valentine’s Day, 2025.
