INCREDIBLE HULK Actor Tim Blake Nelson In Final Talks For THE FANTASTIC FOUR
The actor is taking another stab at playing a Marvel villain/scientist in a Marvel reboot with 20th Century Fox's The Fantastic Four. Find out who The Incredible Hulk actor is playing after the jump!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Fantastic Four has added actor Tim Blake Nelson to its steadily-growing ensemble cast for the role of "an eccentric and socially awkward scientist," Harvey Elder, who's better known as the supervillain Mole Man. However, like Nelson's minor role as Samuel Sterns a.k.a The Leader in Marvel Studios' forgotten Incredible Hulk movie, Harvey Elder will not apparently become Mole Man in Fox's 2015 Fantastic Four reboot. Instead, "Elder’s appearance sets up the character to be the villain in future installments of the franchise," reports the THR's source. Anyhow, with The Fantastic Four gearing up for filming very very soon, Tim Blake Nelson joins Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, and Toby Kebbel. And directed by Josh Trank from a script by Simon Kinberg, Marvel's First Family returns June 19, 2015.
