Tim Blake Nelson returns to play The Chief in Captain America: Courageous New World, 17 years after he appeared in The Unimaginable Hulk.
Tim Blake Nelson performed Samuel Sterns, aka The Chief, in The Unimaginable Hulk, and seventeen years later… he’s coming again for Captain America: Courageous New World. It’s fairly the stretch of time between appearances, and the actor advised GamesRadar+ that the character goes to be completely different this time round.
“In this version, which is not the version I expected to play, I got to get better as an actor,” Nelson. “And due to Kevin [Feige] and Nate [Moore] and Julius [Onah] and the writers, they wrote a superbly nuanced character that was a beautiful problem to play and that I wouldn’t have been capable of play 15 years in the past, as a result of I don’t assume, hopefully anyway, I used to be the actor that I’m now. What we need to do most as actors is proceed to develop.“
Nelson continued, “And I really feel like I wanted this maturity to have the ability to play what they wrote. What drives Samuel Sterns as The Chief is a way of justice via anarchy. There’s a whole lot of historical past behind it that’s uncovered actually superbly within the writing. And I’m extremely grateful that they requested me again, and I had a good time with such an outstanding solid. I’ve recognized a whole lot of them for a lot of, a few years, and I agree with Harrison, one of many options of the MCU is the best way they curate the world. They put severe actors of their films. They don’t fiddle by way of shallow selections by way of casting, and that begins with Anthony, who has such depth and soul as an actor. However I’d additionally say it applies to everybody on this display proper now. It’s nice to be part of that group.“
In The Unimaginable Hulk, Sterns is a mobile biologist who makes an attempt to develop a treatment for Bruce Banner’s situation. It’s only close to the top of the movie that he’s contaminated with Banner’s blood and begins mutating into The Chief. Clearly, the dude has been going via some stuff within the final 20 years.

After assembly with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, Sam finds himself in the midst of a global incident.
