Daniel Brühl first played Zemo in Captain America: Civil War, and while he may not have looked exactly like his comic book counterpart, he did something no other villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been able to do: he put an end to The Avengers.

The ramifications of his actions were felt right up until Avengers: Endgame, so his return is definitely a big deal. That’s set to take place in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier on Disney+, and a teaser video shared during last year’s San Diego Comic-Con showed Zemo in his comic accurate mask. 

During a recent interview with Collider, Brühl reflected on receiving the call to reprise the role, and what it was like to don that familiar mask.

“I remember that Kari Skogland, the director, came to Budapest and we recorded something with me being Zemo, and I was very happy and enthusiastic to see the mask. I was incredibly thrilled to go back because I remember that I had a lot of fun being in something completely different and getting to explore the MCU and become part of that.”

“I have the fondest memories of collaborating with all of these wonderful actors, and to see Sebastian Stan again, and Anthony Mackie, this time around, and to come back to something which, on the one hand, felt common and known, and on the other hand, being something completely new and something fresh,” he explained. 

Brühl would go on to share an update on where thing stand with the Disney+ TV series after production was halted thanks to COVID-19.

“We were affected by the coronavirus whilst we were shooting the show, so hopefully we’ll be able to return very soon. We were not able to finish and to wrap it up. That’s still something that we have to do. Fingers crossed that it will happen, as soon as possible.”

Clearly, there’s still a lot more work to do, and that means the show’s planned August premiere date is pretty much off the table at this point. Unfortunately, Marvel Studios has yet to comment either way.

Netflix has canceled Chilling Adventures of Sabrina after two seasons (which were split into four parts) and they’ve also announced that the final eight episodes, Part 4, are set to premiere at the end of this calendar year. 

The series stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men; The Blackcoat’s Daughter) as the fan-favorite teenage witch and will complete its run with thirty-six episodes (20 in season one; 16 in season two). Veteran actresses Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings; War of the Worlds) and Lucy Davis (Wonder Woman; Shaun of the Dead) co-star as her Aunts Zelda and Hilda, respectively. 

In his statement, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said:

“Working on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has been an incredible honor from Day One. The cast, beginning with Kiernan as everyone’s favorite teen witch, has been an absolute joy. I am beyond thankful to the crew, writers, editors, assistants, and everyone for pouring so much love into this dark dream of a show. I’m also grateful to our partners at Netflix, Warner Bros., Berlanti Television and Archie Comics for letting us tell the story we wanted to tell, the way we wanted to tell it. We can’t wait for everyone to see Part Four.”

Their decision comes just days after another Archieverse series, Katy Keene, was axed by The CW following a thirteen-episode first season.

As for what’s to come in the final batch of episodes, Netflix has shared the official synopsis for the second half of season two, which seems to spell doom for the Spellmans. 

“The Eldritch Terrors will descend upon Greendale. The coven must fight each terrifying threat one-by-one (The Weird, The Returned, The Darkness to name a few), all leading up to…The Void, which is the End of All Things. As the witches wage war, with the help of The Fright Club, Nick begins to slowly earn his way back into Sabrina’s heart, but will it be too late?”

Following the explosive conclusion of last night’s Stargirl, Courtney (Brec Bassinger), Cindy (Meg DeLacy), and the Dragon King (Nelson Lee) all came to learn that Henry Jr. (Jake Austin Walker) did indeed inherit his father’s powerful psionic abilities, which should be a huge game-changer in their ongoing war.

While Courtney immediately wants to attempt to recruit him, she’s going to face serious opposition from Yolanda (Yvette Monreal), who wants absolutely nothing to do with him after what he did to her. 

Brainwave (Ep# 109)

The new DC UNIVERSE drama series DC’s STARGIRL follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series that focuses on the character that started creator Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion.
