Tim Blake Nelson played the character Dr Samuel Sterns in the last Hulk film, who ends up getting Bruce's gamma-infused blood into a cut in his head, in which Sterns' head starts getting all bubbly, towards the end of the film. Many people led to believe that Stern would return as the leader in a sequel. Although, Norton is no longer associated with the franchise, so most people assumed the same about Nelson, who has some interesting info about upcoming Marvel-relating films:
"I am [contracted for more Marvel films]... but it’s a question as to whether they’ll make more movies, which was the [original] intention, or whether they’ll take a fresh start with the villains, since they switched Bruce Banner to Mark Ruffalo... I certainly very much want to return as the Leader and I hope they’ll have me," he continued. "The intention was that I would come back, which is why my head starts to, um, bubble, at the end. It’s just a question as to whether a) they’re going to make more Hulk movies, and b) because of Ruffalo, if they’re going to use me again.”
Nelson seems to really want the part, but at the same time, if it doesn't happen, we'll be sure to still see him in some role in an upcoming Marvel film. What did you guys think about Nelson's role in the Incredible Hulk film? Should he be cast as the Leader in an upcoming Marvel film? Or should he be someone else?
