Daniel Bruhl Joins CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR in Villain Role

Marvel Studios announced on Friday that Daniel Bruhl has joined Captain America: Civil War. The studio didn't announce who Bruhl will play in the upcoming sequel, instead touting the actor's résum é.

Daniel Bruhl (“Rush,” “Inglourious Basterds”) has joined the cast of Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War,” set to rock the Marvel Cinematic Universe on May 6, 2016.

The celebrated actor earned Golden Globe, SAG, BAFTA and Critics’ Choice nominations for his role as Niki Lauda in director Ron Howard’s “Rush.” In addition to Howard, Bruhl has also worked with other esteemed directors such as Quentin Tarantino, Paul Greengrass, Anton Corbijn, and Michael Winterbottom.

Bruhl joins Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man), and Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) in “Captain America: Civil War,” with Joe and Anthony Russo returning to direct after this year's hit Marvel's “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”

“With Daniel's ability to deliver intense, nuanced performances, we knew we had found yet another great actor to share the screen with some of our biggest heroes,” said Producer Kevin Feige.

We already know that Chris Evans will be playing Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. will be playing Iron Man and Chadwick Boseman will be playing Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War. The question is who will Bruhl be playing?

Deadline is reporting that Bruhl is playing the villain in the movie, with Variety adding that he "is not the main villain in Captain America: Civil War but could potentially be the top menace in Marvel's Doctor Strange." I haven't done my Doctor Strange research enough to make an educated guess on that one.
