There are a ton of dramatic Marvel returns in Captain America: Brave New World . But, the biggest one, arguably, is The Leader. While Nelson was teasing the reason for his extended absence up above, the actor has also been open about wanting the MCU villain to be as practical as possible in the upcoming movie. Talking to ComicBook at San Diego Comic-Con , Nelson said that keeping things grounded was his biggest ask in order to return. After all, The Incredible Hulk only teased his final form and its a bit of an open slate. Early teases have been promising, but the star thinks comics fans will be happy with what Marvel came up with.
"When I was asked to come back and play this character, one of my stipulations was -- although, I have to admit, if they'd said no, I still would have done it...but pretending I could have a stipulation was, I begged, could you guys please let me do this practically?" Nelson told ComicBook. "I don't want to wear dots. I'd like to have the appliance. I wanted to feel the weight of it; I wanted to look in the mirror and see myself that way, and I wanted the actors on set with whom I was interacting to see me that way. It just deepens it."
