Fans should recognize both of these characters as they have both been adapted to the MCU. During the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Absorbing Man appeared as a frequent antagonist. It was also later revealed that the character was connected to (what was then) Netflix’s Daredevil.
And Daniel Brühl’s Zemo has become one of the more entertaining anti-heroes of the MCU in recent years. While not confirmed, many expect him to reprise his role in either the next Captain America film or the Thunderbolts.
