Major Captain America Villain Actor on When He’ll Return

The MCU’s post-Endgame era continues to surprise fans, with Tim Blake Nelson’s return as Samuel Sterns, also known as The Leader, standing out as one of the most unexpected villain additions. After re-entering the franchise in Captain America: Brave New World, Nelson has finally addressed whether audiences will see him again in Avengers: Doomsday.

Tim Blake Nelson on when his MCU villain will return after Captain America 4

While promoting his new novel Superhero: A Novel, which draws from his experiences in blockbuster filmmaking, Tim Blake Nelson spoke about his future after playing the major villain in Brave New World. He did not confirm an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, but his excitement to continue the role was unmistakable. He said, “I can confirm that if I have my way, they won’t have to wait 16 years” (via ComicBook).

This comment fuels speculation that Sterns could return sooner rather than later. His role in Brave New World was pivotal. In the film’s post-credits scene, The Leader issued a chilling prophecy, warning of a coming reckoning from “the others” that he foresaw “in the probabilities.” This establishes him as a unique asset with foreknowledge of the multiversal threats looming in Doomsday. Logically, the Avengers may have to turn to their enemy for crucial intelligence, making a follow-up appearance highly compelling.

Tim Blake Nelson stunned longtime Marvel fans when he reprised his role as Samuel Sterns in Captain America: Brave New World. Although many expected The Leader to reappear only in a future Hulk-centered project, Marvel subverted expectations by placing him at the heart of Sam Wilson’s first solo film as Captain America.

Beyond his MCU role, Nelson discussed the unique process of writing his book, which draws inspiration from his time on major Hollywood productions. For now, Marvel fans must wait to see whether The Leader resurfaces in the next Avengers movie, but Nelson’s enthusiasm strongly suggests the door is far from closed.
