Brave New World.
In 2008, Nelson portrayed Samuel Sterns in The Incredible Hulk, but he didn’t reappear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe until Captain America 4, which was released in 2025. The antagonist of this film is modeled after a character from Marvel Comics, which was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and debuted in Tales to Astonish #62 back in 1964.
What was The Leader originally going to look like in Captain America: Brave New World?
Over on Instagram, the visual effects and makeup studio, Blue Whale Studios, posted a few images showcasing an early concept of how character Nelson appeared in Captain America 4.

This post says that filmmaking requires us to be flexible, coming up with new ideas instead of clinging to old ones. Originally, we were hired to create and apply practical makeup for ‘The Leader’ character, played by Tim Blake Nelson in Captain America: Brave New World. However, as is common in movies, the plot changed during reshoots and the creative direction was altered. Unfortunately, our design wasn’t included in the final version. But we’re very proud of the work we produced.
Taking cues from the initial comic book illustrations, we crafted a style that was both authentic and instantly recognizable – a blend of truth to the origin while offering a polished, realistic touch. The final makeup, technically speaking, was lightweight and comfortable for our actor to wear, thanks to the tireless efforts of an exceptional team.
In the following post, you’ll find a more extensive explanation about how the design for Nelson’s makeup was developed.
The process behind creating Nelson’s character’s makeup is elaborated in greater detail in the post below.

Captain America: A Fresh Era stars Anthony Mackie playing Sam Wilson/Captain America, Danny Ramirez portraying Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Giancarlo Esposito taking on the role of Sidewinder, and Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross/Red Hulk. This Marvel Studios production can now be rented or bought for viewing on various digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and others.
