Captain America: Civil Warkicks offMarvel’sPhase Threenext year, with a monstrous cast that features several returning cast members fromAvengers: Age of Ultron, along with a slew of new characters. One of the new characters fans will be introduced to isBaron Zemo, who has been confirmed as the primary villain in this superhero adventure, played byDaniel Brühl. While promoting his new filmBurnt, in theaters this weekend,Daniel Brühlmade a surprising revelation during an interview withBusiness Insider, stating that his character does not wear the iconic purple mask from the comics.
“He does not wear the mask. You would be surprised, it’s different than what you’d think. It’s loosely connected to this character. But that’s what I like about theMarvelguys, some of the characters and things they’re dealing with always reference to current events so my character is from a different area than you would think.”
In theMarvel Comics, Baron Zemo was always clad in a purple cloak, after a vat of powerful adhesive, known as Adhesive X, spilled all over him during a fight withCaptain America, preventing Zemo from ever removing it. The villain was also connected to the Nazis, but it isn’t known if that connection will still exist in this upcoming movie. The actor also mentioned that he also may be coming back for futureMarvelmovies.
“There’s a possibility. That’s the way it’s written.”
We reported last month thatCaptain America: Civil Warwill mark the end of the Captain America trilogy, althoughChris Evans' title character is expected to return inAvengers: Infinity War Part IandAvengers: Infinity War - Part II. Those movies are expected to be the last on hisMarvelcontract, and there is speculation that he may be killed off at some point in the two-part adventure, which, along withInhumans, will bringPhase Threeto an end.
As of now, there is practically nothing we know aboutPhase Four, except that the studio recently set three untitled movies for release in the year 2020, which will most likely kick offPhase Four. It’s possible that we could see Baron Zemo inAvengers: Infinity War Part IandAvengers: Infinity War - Part II, but it isn’t currently known how the studio plans on using this villain in the future. What do you think about these new details?
