AceShowbiz - Empire Magazine has unveiled the first great look at "Captain America: Civil War" new villain Crossbones, played by Frank Grillo. In the picture, the character looks badass, wearing masks with a big "X" written on his costume.
Crossbones is the superhero incarnation of Brock Rumlow, one of the rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives on the take for H.Y.D.R.A. in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". He's the guy who leads the attack on Captain America (Chris Evans) in the elevator. At the end, Brock suffered severe burns in the helicarrier crash which caused the facial cover-up.
While Crossbones' movie backstory differs from the comics, the character ultimately serves a pivotal role in the "Civil War" storyline as he's the one responsible for the assassination of Captain America.
