10 Things That Must Happen In MCU Phase 3
4. Helmut Zemo Returns
After being captured at the end of Civil War but professing that his plan to fracture The Avengers totally worked, Baron Zemo returns later down the line as a supporting villain.
This would probably have to happen in Infinity War, as a saga with that size of a canvas could certainly accommodate another appearance from Zemo with ease, even if it was for just a few small scenes.
Daniel Bruhl did such a fantastic job with his unconventional take on the classic villain that it'd be a shame if we never saw him again.
How Likely Is It?: Bruhl has claimed that Marvel are retaining him for the potential of future movies, but that doesn't imply any certainty whatsoever.
Plus, Zemo's plan was carried out and he's now in jail with nothing left to live for, so is there really much left to explore? Perhaps he'd be an interesting character to see show up in a Marvel One-Shot short.
This one could go either way, really. 5/10
