10 MCU Characters Who Need To Be Rebooted

6. The Leader

Malekith Marvel
Marvel Comics

Played by Tim Blake Nelson in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, Samuel Sterns was introduced as an ally to Bruce Banner, but clearly wasn't quite all there. By the time all was said and done, he had started undergoing his transformation into The Leader, and a tie-in comic would later reveal that he had been taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.

Since then, he's been M.I.A., but Marvel Studios has the chance to do the villain justice - at last - in the planned She-Hulk TV series which is on its way to Disney+ a few years from now. One of the Jade Giant's greatest enemies, The Leader has come up with all manner of plots to take down his foe thanks to his superior intelligence.

It would be pretty cool to see Tim Blake Nelson back in the role, but there may be other actors better suited to playing him this time, as it's hard to imagine the Watchmen star playing this over the top, colourful version of the villain. Either way, a reboot is definitely needed after what little was shown of The Leader in The Incredible Hulk.
