Los Angeles: The first look at Captain America: Civil War new villain Crossbones, played by Frank Grillo, has been unveiled.

In the picture, the character wears 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.

Crossbones lead 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. (Also Read - Avengers Divided: It's Captain America vs Iron Man in Civil War Trailer)
