When you’re as successful as Marvel, you get your pick of actors. It speaks to their growing stature that they recently snagged Benedict Cumberbatch to play "Doctor Strange," and now they’ve roped another acclaimed actor into their fold.
The studio announced today that Daniel Bruhl has joined the cast of "Captain America: Civil War." The actor is likely best known for his turns in "Good Bye Lenin!," "The Bourne Ultimatum," Quentin Tarantino‘s "Inglourious Basterds," and Ron Howard‘s "Rush." In both foreign and Hollywood films he’s always a welcome presence, but who will he play here?
Well, Marvel isn’t saying (though Deadline reports Bruhl will take a villain role), so we’re going to leave it you to guess below. But remember, this third installment of the ‘Captain America’ franchise will likely see Chris Evans‘ Steve Rogers and Robert Downey’s Jr.‘s Tony Stark on opposing sides.
"Captain America: Civil War" opens May 6, 2016. Here’s the press release:
Bruhl is represented by Tavistock Wood Management, Players Agentur Management, and WME.
