Well, this is unexpected.

Tim Blake Nelson, who MCU fans might recognize as The Incredible Hulk's Samuel Sterns, has been cast as Harvey Elder, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Nelson will play Harvey Elder, an eccentric and socially awkward scientist....Sources say the Mole Man will not appear in this movie but Elder’s appearance does set up the character to be the villain in future installments of the franchise. Fox did not comment on the plans. Probably the best casting decision yet, but still hasn't made me optimistic about this movie.
