The Potential Villains For ‘Captain America: Brave New World’
One of the more likely choices is Tim Blake Nelson’s Samuel Sterns, A.K.A, The Leader. Since his 2008 debut in ‘The Incredible Hulk,’ Sterns has absorbed Hulk’s gamma radiation, hinting at a sinister future. Now poised to unleash his super-powered villainy, Sterns stands as a lingering plot thread from Marvel’s earlier films, awaiting further exploration.
Another intriguing possibility is Giancarlo Esposito’s mystery character. The acclaimed actor is known for his iconic villain roles, especially as Gus Fring in ‘Breaking Bad‘. His character’s determined expression in the trailer hints at someone with a firm opposition to Captain America. Only time will tell if he has the depth and screen time to qualify as the primary villain.
