Is there Tim Blake Nelson?? What did Samuel Sterns do in The Incredible Hulk?

Tim Blake Nelson is super charismatic and can be anything from band goofball to a maniacal psychopath. I want to see it yes, but I wanted another solo Hulk movie. pic.twitter.com/3j4jHEmAxK

Recalling that the script is in charge of Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, of ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’.
Recently, protagonist Anthony Mackie spoke to the comics and said he almost freaked out when he got the invitation to be the new Captain America on the big screen.
But the most important thing in all of this was that he could see himself as a real hero for his children.
“As a dad of boys, it’s really cool when your kids see you doing something they can watch. We [atores] we make so many movies, and most of them our kids can’t watch. But my kids were able to sit and eat popcorn while watching “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” or “Avengers” or all those Marvel movies. Everything I do is for my boys, so that’s the fun part.
In the meantime, remember that all episodes of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” are still available on Disney+.
