The so far impressive cast of Captain America: Civil War just got that little bit more impressive. Marvel announced Daniel Bruhl (Rush, Inglourious Basterds) has joined the cast in a 'mysterious role.'
Bruhl will join Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and Chadwick Boseman in the next chapter of the Captain America saga. Although the exact details of Bruhl's role has yet to be announced, it is being reported that it will be the villainous part, which could also lead Bruhl into being the lead villain in the Doctor Strange movie.
Marvel released the below statement;
