Daniel Brühl Confirms Baron Zemo Role In CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

View fullsize

We previously reported a rumor that Daniel Brühl (Rush) would be playing the villain Baron Zemo in Captain America: Civil War. The villain’s name popped up on a leaked casting sheet, but now the actor himself has confirmed that it’s true. While talking to The Independent, Brühl revealed that he would be taking on the role of the evil villain and said,

“I think I can tell you that without being thrown into Marvel prison. For the first few days I’ll walk around like a little boy, just amazed by the megalomania of it. It’s such a huge project. We could do 20 films with the budget.” 

Baron Zemo won’t be the only villain to show up in Civil War. Frank Grillo will also be coming back as Brock Rumlow, a.k.a. Crossbones. I’m curious to see what exactly Marvel plans on doing with Zemo because he’s such a fascinating character with an interesting background.

For those of you not familiar with the character, I included a video breakdown that we posted a couple of months ago, which was put together by THINKAboutTheINK and host Alan Kistler. It’s definitely worth a look if you haven’t seen it yet. 

The movie is set to go into production soon, and it will be released on May 6th, 2016.
