Daniel Brühl Hints at Possible Appearance in ‘Thunderbolts*’ with Mysterious Response

Daniel Brühl, known for his role as Baron Helmut Zemo in Captain America: Civil War, initially portrayed a villain that few fans warmed up to.

Although Brühl’s charismatic performance was effective, Zemo’s malevolence left little room for audience affection. However, his return in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier changed that. While still maintaining his dark traits, Zemo evolved into a scene-stealer beloved by fans, even becoming a meme sensation.

Although Brühl is not officially confirmed for the upcoming Thunderbolts* film, he recently promoted his new series, The Franchise, which humorously critiques the creative process behind the MCU.

During this promotion, he was asked about the possibility of his appearance in Thunderbolts* and his response sparked curiosity.

Daniel Brühl is currently promoting his successful new series, The Franchise, which offers a comedic look at the chaotic world behind the making of a major superhero franchise. In an interview with Yahoo!, Brühl discussed the challenges of bringing the series to life and how it has impacted his relationship with Marvel friends.

He mentioned that he believes his fellow actors, including Kevin Feige, would appreciate the show’s clever humor and fresh take on the superhero genre.

While The Franchise is gaining traction, most fans are eager to know if Brühl’s character, Baron Zemo, will return to the MCU—specifically in Thunderbolts*. When asked about this possibility, here’s what Brühl had to say:

Y: So you’re still in with them? Does that mean you will make a cameo in Thunderbolts*?

DB: [laughs] Next question.
