Captain America: Civil War - 10 Things You Need To Know About Baron Zemo

2. He Could Be A Red Skull Fill-In For Fallen Son

Fallen Son is one of the most iconic stories in Captain America’s history and many suspect that’s where the character's journey is headed in the MCU. The story plays out in the wake of Civil War, where Captain America is assassinated, but the biggest piece missing from the storyline is Red Skull, the mastermind behind the plan in the comics.

With the big bad HYDRA boss seemingly vanished in space, Fallen Son requires another genius planner to fill the void and execute the plan to take out Captain America for good. It would make a lot of sense that that man could be Baron Zemo.

He’s got a similar background to the Red Skull, with almost identical motivations and skills. He could want to send America into turmoil, or simply avenge his dead father. Either way, the pieces are all there for Fallen Son to play out at the end of Civil War, and all it would take is Baron Zemo to set it in motion.
