Films
- In Captain America: The First Avenger, the character appeared in a supporting role where he was played by actor Toby Jones. He was shown as a Swiss scientist during World War II where he joined HYDRA and served as Johann Schmidt chief science officer. In 1942, the Red Skull managed to uncover the Tesseract with Zola studying its power to create weapons after HYDRA split from Nazi Germany. On November 1943, he would escape HYDRA's base in Austria when Dr. Abraham Erskine's super-soldier Captain America assaulted the facility. Afterwards, he was present on a train convoy that was attacked by the Allied forces where he was captured and taken by the Strategic Scientific Reserve where he offered to reveal many of his technological secrets to them.
- In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the character makes a minor appearance during the movie. Its stated that he was one of many Nazi HYDRA scientists who defected to S.H.I.E.L.D. This proved to be a long term strategy by these agents where they sought to corrupt the nascent agency into serving them with a secretive HYDRA cabal stirring conflicts with the ultimate goal of world domination. In that time, Zola was diagnosed with a terminal disease and as a result he used his advanced intellect to turn his mind into an artificial intelligence. It was through Arnim Zola's genius that he created the Zola Algorithm that became the basis for intelligence gathering using digital records. With this code, S.H.I.E.L.D. and thus the HYDRA cabal were able to determine the action's of people through their past digital records such as bank statements as well as other such records. His artificial intelligence survived within the databanks of a secret early S.H.I.E.L.D. installation located beneath Camp Lehigh. By the modern age, the Zola intelligence was present on a flash drive that came into possession of Nick Fury and eventually Steve Rogers. Unaware of what was on the drive, Rogers traced the clues to the Camp where Natasha Romanov attached it into a port activating the ancient databanks where Arnim Zola revealed the events following his capture. He also explained that he was simply distracting Rogers in order to allow the HYDRA cabal to destroy Captain America and Black Widow when a missile was launched at the underground bunker thus destroying it. Alexander Pierce commented that this incident cost him Zola as the artificial intelligence was destroyed with the secret installation.
