Daniel Brühl Teases Baron Zemo’s Role in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
Spider-Man isn’t the only character in Captain America: Civil War that has been left out of the marketing for the film. We’ve hardly seen anything involving Daniel Brühl’s Baron Zemo, and there’s a reason for that. He’s a very mysterious character, and he plays a large role in how that story plays out.
I’m not going to spoil anything for you, but I think audiences will be very surprised by how he factors into the movie. During an interview with Total Film, Brühl talked about his character and offered a little more insight. When asked to talk about his character he said:
“I was really told not to because there are so many secrets in the film. And also my character’s quite mysterious, so I’m really scared to say too much. The things I’ve mentioned in interviews before were already too much – and I thought it was nothing!”
I know a lot of fans are wondering how exactly Zemo fits in with the conflict between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Don’t worry, I’m not going to answer that for you, but I will tell you that he’s not your average kind of villain. The actor explains:
“Yes, but what I like is it’s not a stereotype. It’s not a guy who’s mean and sinister, but he’s actually very clever – a very smart guy who does everything out of a very understandable reason and motivation.”
He then goes on to tease how his character impacts the film. The following comment he makes might be considered light SPOILERS, so proceed with caution.

“Some of the things that happen in the film, and why they happen, are because of him. He is orchestrating things that happen throughout the film. I think that’s something I can say, goddamn it!”
Having seen the film, that’s something that he probably shouldn’t have said. However, it doesn’t give you the details of how he orchestrates everything. One thing I do hope is that the character will be set up as a long-term villain in the MCU.
Captain America: Civil War is scheduled to hit theaters May 6th, 2016.
