As the orchestrator of the events of Captain America: Civil War, Baron Helmut Zemo is one of the most nefarious villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The master manipulator used a journal tracing the Winter Soldier's history and trigger words to control Bucky Barnes, though the film never revealed how he acquired the Hydra documents in the first place.

Now, in a deleted scene included with the Infinity Saga box set and posted on Reddit by Marvel Studios, Zemo is seen attending an auction of illicit weaponry. As the auctioneers unveil the Winter Soldier's gear taken from a killed Hydra operative on the Syrian border, Zemo stakes his own claim to the journal after gassing everyone in the auction house.

At the end of Civil War, Zemo was spared by Black Panther and imprisoned by the United States government for his crimes, including the murder of Black Panther's father during a bombing on a United Nations presentation in Germany.

While Zemo has been absent from the MCU since then, Daniel Brühl is confirmed to reprise his role as the villain in the Disney+ miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, pitting him face-to-face with Bucky once again.
