Marvel star Daniel Brühl had a cryptic response when asked about his involvement in the next MCU movie, and now we're convinced he'll have a cameo in Thunderbolts*.
During an appearance on the London Film Festival red carpet, Brühl, who currently stars in the superhero movie parody series The Franchise, said he is still in touch with his former Captain America co-stars, including Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie. .
“So you're still with them? Does that mean you'll be making a cameo in Thunderbolts?” was asked (via Yahoo!). “Next question!” Brühl laughed.
Brühl plays Helmut Zemo in the MCU, a role he first took on in 2016's Captain America: Civil War and reprized for the 2021 Disney Plus series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Zemo is a baron from Sokovia who sought revenge against the Avengers after his family died in the battle against Ultron.
If he appears in Thunderbolts*, he will join his former co-star Stan, who returns as Bucky Barnes. He will be joined by Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, David Harbor as Red Guardian and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Harrison Ford also replaced the late William Hurt as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, aka Red Hulk, a role he will take on for the first time in Captain America: Brave New World.
Thunderbolts* will hit the big screen on May 2, 2025, as the final film in Marvel's Phase 5. While we wait, check out our guide to other upcoming Marvel movies and shows on the way.
