Captain America 4's Tim Blake Nelson Requested Practical Effects for the Leader's Oversized Head

The Leader is back for Captain America: Brave New World, including his infamously oversized head.
Speaking to Empire, Tim Blake Nelson discussed his return to Marvel for the first time since 2008's The Incredible Hulk, despite the film briefly teasing his transformation into Hulk's intellectual adversary. While no photos of the Samuel Sterns/Leader have been revealed yet, Nelson assured fans the villain's massive head will be free of computer effects, stating, "I requested that we do what we were going to do, practically. Which was a huge help, because I liked being able to feel the weight of the deformation on my head, rather than just wearing dots."
