Daniel Brühl Confirms Playing 'Baron Helmut Zemo' In CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
It's been previously reported that Baron Zemo is the supervillain that Daniel Brühl will be portraying in Captain America: Civil War, but the Spanish-German actor has finally confirmed it. Check it out!
As previously reported, Captain America: Civil War will officially commence principal photography tomorrow. And although we may not get the usual filming and full cast announcement until after Avengers: Age of Ultron opens domestically, actor Daniel Brühl has finally revealed, or rather confirmed, that he'll be playing none other than Baron Helmut Zemo in the 2016 Marvel threequel.
“I think I can tell you that without being thrown into Marvel prison,” Brühl told The Independent during a recent interview. “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.” With several superheroes set to appear and become divided in Civil War, it'll be interesting to see what role Baron Zemo will play. Also bringing villainy to the film is Brock Rumlow aka Crossbones played by Frank Grillo, who recently teased his return to the role on Twitter. What do you think?
Marvel Studios' Captain America: Civil War is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. With an all-star cast that includes Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Frank Grillo (Crossbones), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), and Daniel Brühl (Baron Zemo), along with unconfirmed appearances by Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Paul Bettany (Vision), and Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), the highly-anticipated film is scheduled to open in theaters on May 6, 2016.
