Hugo Weaving In Talks To Play Red Skull?


With exhausting rumors circling the role of Captain America. I'm relieved to see information come out about the second most important role in the film. Of course I'm talking about the villain. HeatVision says that Hugo Weaving is in talks to play the Red Skull. Hugo previously played the iconic Agent Smith in the Matrix films and Elrond in Lord of The Rings. He's also given strong performances in V For Vendetta and most recently in The Wolfman. I'm beyond excited to see Weaving in the role. I just hope the rest of the supporting cast is this impressive.

"Johann Schmidt worked as Hitler’s right-hand man in 1941, specifically in the areas of terrorism, espiopnage, and sabotage. Wearing a hideous red skull mask, Schmidt became a figure of Nazi propaganda. The effect of this propaganda was so powerful that America was forced to counter and gave the super-soldier serum to Steve Rogers and created Captain America. The two then clashed throughout World War II. Red Skull has no superhuman abilities but possesses genius-level intellect."
