The Leader was the big villain of Captain America: Brave New World, with actor Tim Blake Nelson undergoing a practical make up transformation to embody the grotesquely mutated character. But the Leader almost looked totally different, with an original make up scheme that more closely resembled his original comic book appearance.
Originally developed by Atlanta based special effects house Blue Whale Studios, the first take on the make up for Sam Sterns/the Leader was a bit more straightforward, with an enlarged cranium and sickly green skin, but none of the exposed, wrinkly brains or more mutated features of the film's final design.
