Tim Blake Nelson on The Leader in Hulk Sequel

November 25, 2008

Tim Blake Nelson, who played Dr. Samuel Sterns in The Incredible Hulk, tells Ain't It Cool News that the plan is for his character to become villain The Leader in a possible sequel:

Quint: Great well what about a potential HULK sequel? Gale Anne Hurd's been going around talking about how you might be The Leader and the main villain of the next one.
Tim Blake Nelson: That's the plan. That's what they tell me, but I don't know when that's happening or what the details are but I am eager to do it and I hear that's in the works. I would tell you if I knew more, but I honestly don't.

Quint: Yeah, but you haven't played a comic-book villain yet right?
Tim Blake Nelson: No, but I had a great time doing HULK, so if they want me for HULK 2 I'm there, it certainly was the plan going into HULK 1. When I met with them they said this is where it’s headed so I'm eager to do it.

Marvel Studios has not announced whether it will move forward with a follow-up.

I want a much more furious hulk in a sequel...he was not angry enough in the most recent movie...for ex. in the warehouse when he meets tim roth the 1st time he is just walking around...yes he does throw a forklift but my hulk would level that same warehouse not walk out the front door..... great visuals in the movie but far too tame of a hulk

I'd love to see the leader and his Humanoids to take on the Hulk - BUT: I didn't like the way Samuel Sterns was introduced AT ALL. He wasn't menacing or mysterious or whatever... and then the bubbling forehead after he gets sprinkled with Bruces Blood... that was stupid and no way to introduce Hulks major villain!

Based on the rival between norton and the studio you can forget a sequel even though it was badass!

Not happening folks.. hate to break it to you. The only way we're going to see the Hulk anytime soon is going to be as a cameo/supporting role on any of the forthcoming Marvel movies - Capt, IM2, Avengers, Thor. Did you see the numbers on DVD sales? Sorry, not going to happen.

Sounds good to me. That movie was great, it deserves a sequel. It would be nice if they somehow were able to bring Doc Samson in on this. I don't think he could be the main protagonist in a third film, but he would be an excellent third character.

He was annoying in the first one. This has just lost my interest in a Hulk sequel
