'Captain America: Civil War' Theories: Daniel Bruhl to play Baron Zemo and team up with Frank Grillo's Crossbones

By

The official sypnosis for 'Captain America: Civil War' was released by Marvel last week according to a report by the International Business Times. The sypnosis reveals that after the events of 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' the team will disband and the collective governments of the world will pass an act to regulate superhuman activity, which would further drive a wedge between the Avengers, with those in favor siding with Iron Man and those opposing it siding with Captain America.

One of the most interesting things though, is the addition of Daniel Bruhl in the cast of Civil War. Rumors and theories about who Bruhl will play mostly point to the character of Baron Zemo, who might work with Crossbones (played by Frank Grillo in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'). One of the most prevalent theories according to Movie Pilot is that Crossbones and Baron Zemo would team up and gather an army of Hydra soldiers and fight Captain America and the other soldiers using weapons that were hidden during their exposure in the previous movie. It is also speculated that Steve Rogers may die in Civil War, with either Bucky Barnes or The Falcon taking up the shield.

If this theory is true, then it would somewhat follow what was portrayed in the comics. In the comics, Captain America was shot by Crossbones while being led out of the court room after the events of the Civil War storyline. Of course, Steve Rogers did not die, but was instead trapped in space and time, which was revealed in the events of the 'Captain America: Reborn' storyline.

Daniel Bruhl has yet to confirm the rumors regarding who he is playing in 'Captain America: Civil War' as he declined to reveal any details during an interview with The Wall Street Journal. He did, however, express his excitement "over being a part of a megalomania and huge movie" and to be a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

'Captain America: Civil War' is scheduled for release in theaters on May 6, 2016.
