Baron Helmut Zemo

Baron Helmut Zemo is one of the popular nemeses of Captain America and the Avengers in the Marvel Comics. The supervillain has appeared in a number of animated television series and movies but not a single time in any live-action venture. Next year’s Captain America: Civil War will mark the live-action cinematic debut of Baron Zemo.

Inglourious Basterds star Daniel Brühl is set to play the supervillain in the May 6, 2016 release. We haven’t got our first official look at the German actor as Baron Zemo. But from what Brühl revealed back in October on his character, it seems we won’t get a comic-true incarnation of the supervillain in Civil War.

The actor confirmed that his version of Baron Zemo won’t be wearing the PURPLE MASK that the original character wears in the comic books. He also described his character to be ‘loosely connected’ to the comics and ‘different’ from what the fans expect. Brühl also claimed that they will be ‘surprised’ to watch his Baron Zemo.

And this supervillain, unlike most of those introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, might not have a ‘one-and-done’ appearance. There’s possibility of the character to return in any of their future movies.
