Marvel has cast “Rush” star Daniel Bruhl in “Captain America: Civil War,” Marvel announced on Friday, with sources telling TheWrap that Bruhl will play one of the sequel’s villains who could return in other Marvel movies including “Doctor Strange.”
Joe and Anthony Russo are directing the new “Captain America” movie, which hits theaters on May 6, 2016.
Bruhl joins Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man), and Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) in “Captain America: Civil War.”
“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 of Marvel.
Bruhl 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 is represented by WME, Tavistock Wood Management and Players Agentur Management.

Is Zoe Saldana the most dangerous woman in the universe? You bet she is -- as Gamora, doing an over-the-shoulder.
Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer at rest ...
... and in action, splattering some bad guys.
Here's Drax's "mugshot" -- complete with specs (lower left) and pects (upper right).
Benicio Del Toro looking bullish indeed -- as The Collector.
Here's a close-up of Karen Gillan ("Doctor Who") as you've never seen her before: bald, bluish and menacing as the space pirate/mercenary Nebula.
Nebula looking ready to fight. We're guessing she'll take on ...

Speaking of the most dangerous woman in the universe, here's Gamora in her moment of captivity.
I AM GROOT.
A nasty Nova Corps heavy, listening to Star Lord's headphones. Probably not a good idea.
Speaking of Star Lord, here's Peter Quill's little message to his captors.
Also with a message of disrespect, the irascible raccoon Rocket.
And here's Rocket taking a homicidal ride on his "personal houseplant," Groot.
Star Lord, in full space-garb, opening the airlock ...
... and battling the elements.
Also battling: Ronan the Accuser (right, in his only appearance, just a few frames), giving Drax a bit of a difficult time.
