‘Captain America: Civil War’ Update: Elizabeth Olsen confirms Daniel Bruhl playing main villain

Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Scarlet Witch, has confirmed that Daniel Bruhl is playing the main antagonist, Baron Zemo, in the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War.”

“Daniel Brühl is an incredible actor and he's playing the main villain in it,” she said to Premiere. She called the actor immensely talented.

And she spilled some details about “Captain America: Civil War,” saying, “It's a movie about people as opposed to robots this time, so it's darker and it's allowed to be darker because it gets more in the mindset of humans rather than machines.”

Bruhl shot his part for the film earlier this year. The film’s humongous set put him in daze. He told Independent that he felt like a little boy on the sets of “Captain America: Civil War.” Also he felt that the budget of the film is so “huge” that 20 films could be made in it.
