Daniel Brühl explains how The Franchise is different from his experience in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brühl previously played Baron Helmut Zemo in the MCU’s Captain America: Civil War and in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He now has a recurring role in HBO’s satirical comedy series about the chaotic filming of a superhero movie.




In an interview with Screen Rant, Brühl shared that The Franchise did not remind him of the MCU and was instead more reminiscent of his experience making a different movie. Check out Brühl’s comments below:

It resonated with me deeply because of various reasons. Obviously, I’ve been there, although I didn’t think that much of Marvel, I have to say. It would be the obvious question that people ask me, but no, because they treated me so well. It was a well-oiled machine. I never encountered any total madness and craziness and absurdity and problems. There was a lot of sense of humor; the second time around that I revisited Zemo, I was even allowed to do something very different with the character, so I really couldn’t complain ever.

But I’ve done another film in particular that I don’t want to mention that was a total s–tshow. The second I arrived, everything went wrong, and the ship sank dramatically. That was a very painful and frustrating experience that I had to think about a lot. Also, I directed one very small film that only a few people have seen, but I could tell what it means to be the captain of a ship and to be responsible for the whole thing. Having to answer all these questions and cope with all these problems that can come up.


More to come…
