Hugo Weaving in talks for Red Skull for Captain America

They still haven’t picked a Captain America, and I worry that they just might pick that guy from the Office, but it looks like they might be close to getting their Red Skull.

Hugo Weaving is in talks for the role, so its not final but I hope it does go this way!

THR Heatvision says:

Marvel Studios has zeroed in on Hugo Weaving to play the villainous Red Skull in “Captain America.”

Joe Johnston is directing the movie, which remains in search of the actor to play Steve Rogers, Captain America’s alter ego.

In the Marvel comics, Red Skull has been Captain America’s archenemy since 1941, when he engaged in espionage and sabotage as Hitler’s right-hand man.

I really like the idea of Hugo has Red Skull. Clearly looks have little to do with it as he will likely spend the majority of the movie with a red scarred face. But he has an ominous voice that carries a lot of power and creepy charm to it.

I wonder if Christoph Waltz would have been a better pick, but considering he has already played a maniacal Nazi, I don’t know that I want to confuse the two.
