The Twitter account, Atlanta Filming, has posted the first photo of Daniel Brühl (Rush, Inglorious Basterds) arriving on the Atlanta set of Marvel's Captain America: Civil War.

The 37-year-old actor was brought to set wearing his street clothes, but at least we can see that there hasn't been any dramatic changes to his appearance. Brühl is playing Captain America's nemesis Baron Zemo. How he'll be portrayed in the film is still a mystery, but we'll be excited to see how it unfolds.

In the comics, Zemo was first introduced as a brilliant scientist working for the Nazis. He came up with a super-adhesive that he planned to do evil things with, but Captain America thwarted his plans by destroying the container. When the super-adhesive came pouring out it ended up on Zemo purple mask, which he used to conceal his identity, and it became permanently stuck to his face.

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Captain America: Civil War opens in theaters May 6, 2016.
