After
weeks of teasing his followers on social media,
Captain America: Civil War star
Frank Grillo has confirmed he's joining the
DC Universe. In an exclusive chat with ComicBook.com's Chris Killian in support of
One Day as a Lion, Grillo's disappointment with how his MCU character Brock Rumlow, the iconic Cap villain better known as Crossbones, was treated was a reason why he opted to sign on for a role with James Gunn and Peter Safran's
DC Studios.
"They never told a story [about Crossbones]. The mythology of the MCU and just what Marvel has in its pool of characters, it's so deep. Crossbones was there for a minute, but he was supposed to be there longer, then they went the direction they did," Grillo tells us. "I think Crossbones serves a purpose, but I think the interesting thing is that if you see how many people around the world have responded to Crossbones, and again, he's on the screen for a very f--king short amount of time, I think there's more there. I think there was more meat on the bone. I was disappointed, which is why I went over to DC."
