The Question: Baron Zemo is said to be the movie's primary villain, a shadowy figure working behind the scenes, but how exactly does his plan play out?

The Likely Answer: Considering the sheer wealth of characters and scenarios that have to unfold over 150 minutes, it's possible that Zemo isn't actually in the movie all that much, but is nevertheless shown having a hand in just about every step of the Civil War conflict.

The Accords is probably all his secret doing, possibly working with HYDRA, not to mention the framing of Bucky for the U.N. bombing, sending Crossbones after Team Cap, and if the film ends in tragedy as many expect, you can bet that Zemo will be the cause of that too.

Actor Daniel Brühl has already confirmed that Zemo will probably be back for future films, so a) he's not dying and b) his actions here will likely only make him a more fierce force to be reckoned with later on.
