First Avenger OFFICIAL: Hugo Weaving is Red Skull

[Webhead2006]

oh cool cool

 

[sabetoonth]

think poison ivy's dust from B&R but with a much nastier effect

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Til Schweiger and Mads Mikkelsen (with the exception of Christoph Waltz) I think would be the three best picks for Red Skull.

Ralph Fiennes for Baron Zemo.

 

[Webhead2006]

i am sure they will score someone good for red skull.

Or like Joker's venom, but way worse.

 

[Webhead2006]

well with skull being main villain/the villain of the movie. I am sure if the writers/marvel folks think its a good idea it could be in the mix.

 

[DocHoliday]

Michael Fassbender for Red Skull. Can speak fluent German and is a pretty damn good actor.

 

[sabetoonth]

isnt joker venom requiring an injection or consumption? or does it also take powder form?

Would love to see JJ use the Hildago connection and get Viggo for RS. I know that Viggo doesnt put much stock in movie adaptions of mainstream comicbooks, but you never know.

I look at him in Eastern Promises and something just screams Johann Schmidt.

Yeah..you never know. But it wasn't like Hidalgo was well received or made much money. If this was someone he'd had a measure of success with, I'd be more enthusiastic of the possibility. But who knows? Never thought I'd see Norton do TIH either.

I do think that Hugo Weaving could be a possibility, depending on if he found Wolfman to be a good experience. But was just thinking...what if JJ could coerce Chris Cooper into some type of role?

 

[Brian Braddock]

The success of Hildago wouldnt really matter as long as the guys had a good experience working together though, right?

I cant see them going 'well, we'd love to work together again, but the last movie didnt do that well...............'

Dont get me started on Weaving - I think he's absolutely amazing, although I'm unsure of him as Red Skull, Zemo perhaps. I cant see Cooper wanting to do it, seeing as he passed on the part of Commisioner Gordon because it was a comicbook movie role.

Yeah, but Hidalgo isn't really...good. Viggo really doesn't do many movies, but I don't think it's so much that film didn't make much money as it was not very good. Would he be willing to do a commercial film (which he hasn't done in a LONG time) when the last film they did together didn't turn out too well. Believe me I hope I am wrong, just don't see it though. But like I said I didn't see Norton do one either.

As for Cooper, as that why he turned it down? Just for discussion's sake I am going to say the opposite of what I did above, lol. Maybe Cooper looks at October Sky and says "That was a damn fine film, wouldn't mind working with him again." Maybe he turned down Batman because he felt it had be done already, and Cap might feel fresh. Just trying to think of some of these "big names" that JJ has worked with before, that he might try and coerce.

 

[Majmun]

Rainn Wilson.

 

[Webhead2006]

interesting choice why you go with him?

 

[Deaths Head II]

interesting choice why you go with him?

Probably because Krasinski is rumored for Cap.

 

[Majmun]

Lol true, and I believe Wilson is also German. t:

 

[OB12]

I had actually thought about Wilson a while back. He is an outside the box idea, but I think he could really do well with the role. He has a very sinister looking face which could be easily enhanced through makeup and I have heard him speak pretty good German on the Office. I don't know if he actually speaks it or if he just learned the lines as necessary, but he did a good job with them nonetheless.

That said, if Krasinski gets Cap, I wouldn't want Wilson for Red Skull. It would be too hokie.

 

[Dr. Sid Jawtug]

Still wonder how a talking skull is going to work.

Calista Flockhart!
All you need is some red paint and wa-lah!
Red Skull!

If we didn't have Ultimate Nick Fury, Viggo would've been my ideal choice for Nick.

 

[irapogi]

another reason to support mads mikkelsen, he's a former dancer and gymnast. Might suggest some interesting fights against cap.

 

[RonJon_silver]

Sorry guys if this has already been mentioned, but does any1 think that Rick Baker should be brought on board to do the makeup for Red Skull?

 

[Webhead2006]

he would be interesting guy to go with. But i am sure who ever is their makeup guys/girls will pull off some good looking makeup effects.

Also i dont know if this was posted in other threads. I havent been on cap boards since yesterday at 5am ish. But here is Rainn as red skull lol:

 

[sabetoonth]

thata funny

 

[redlion2]

Wonder what would be the best approach to bring RS to life? The CGI method ala Two Face from DK or a more practical makeup and prosthetics or just a straight up mask or a combination.

 

[Figs]

I voted for Mainstream which I guessed meant 616 look...I hope.

I just wonder how they're going to do his face without it looking too cheesy since they won't be able to make it very realistic to keep a PG-13 rating. If only they could push the PG-13 rating and have the makeup look somewhat like uncle Frank in the first Hellraiser film.
