First Avenger OFFICIAL: Hugo Weaving is Red Skull

[The Major]

Ralph Fiennes. I'd like it if Red Skull began using a mask but at some stage during the film he loses his face with an accident with the Red Dust which turns his face into a deformed bleached red skull.

 

[Rich Santoro]

I like the idea of the mask for flair and image... Skull is a bit unhinged I would say. But for a tilt on the SS idea, I can see an angle where the formula without the vita-ray component causes the mutation (as we saw with Blonsky's spine in TIH... while he was looking in the mirror in the bathroom).

As for the issue of age... There are plenty of techy, serum, genetic therapy ways to address that... not to mention the idea of using the Cosmic Cube to revitalize himself.

For the actor... Viggo

Found this.

 

[Drakon]

I'd say deformed.

 

[The Overlord]

Also what should Red Skull wear? I never liked the green jumpsuit he wears sometimes, he should wear an SS uniform.

 

[Mutagen]

Pretty much the Nazi Kroenen look from Hellboy.

 

[Microchip]

Also what should Red Skull wear? I never liked the green jumpsuit he wears sometimes, he should wear an SS uniform.

Like that super-evil black uniform that has the skull and crossbones on it? Oh yes. And I like the idea of him being scarred to the point he has no hair, and his face is mostly red scar tissue but he also wears a mask.

 

[Duskbyday]

Like Baron Zemo's origin, have him wear a mask before his disfugerment and afterwards he loses the mask. ss all the way costume wise.

 

[Steve Holt]

Ralph Fiennes for Red Skull!





well him or Viggo.................

 

[Hypestyle]

... sucks that there have been no announcements on casting yet.. and with marvel's tactic of lowballing for cost, who knows who might accept..

i hope there is something "logical" done with the mask/face, and that it's not just ditched because "It's silly" or whatever rationale..

 

[Microchip]

Lowballing for cost? Iron Man 2 has RDJ, Sam Jackson, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow. Iron Man 1 cost 140m, TIH 137.5m. I wouldn't say that Marvel skimps AT ALL. Just because Terrance Howard is gone doesn't mean they cheap out or anything.

 

[laudanum09]

My dream pick would be Michael Ironside of Total Recall and Scanners fame. He's a great character actor, always plays an awesomely intense villain, and can no doubt, because of his theatre chops, pull of a German accent. He's insidious enough to be the Skull but also unknown enough to warrant keeping the Mask on. And yes, I prefer a Mask initially, especially one whose mouth doesn't move and like someone suggested on page 1, A wooden Opera death's head mask.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Viggo for me.

 

[shiveringmelody]

I'd much rather have a deformed Red Skull. Have no idea who to cast. I don't know what it is with casting, but with Green Lantern and Caps both finally get live action films its a dream come true....I just can't decide who I'd want to play them. Same goes for Red Skull and I grew up loving him as well.

 

[chamber-music]

Another name I would like to throw into the hat for Red Skull is German actor Til Schweiger

[MikeSwanson]

..... since they are looking at a guy that needs to be a german bad guy i think they should get Alan Rickman. no one plays an awesome german bad guy like Alan Rickman.

 

[jokerface89]

Rickman could make a good red skull.As for his facial apperance I think they should have the red skull be a deformed i seems like a better idea then just having him be a nazi villain that wears a mask.

Rickman's a fantastic actor... his take on the Sheriff of Nottinghan is still the best, IMO. Nice choice.

That said, Viggo's my favorite choice.

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

Viggo maybe... or either Alan Rickman.
Love that last part of your signature Canis !( About a boy good film !).

 

[Canis Sapiens]

Thanks!
Love that film... and the book as well.

 

[dark_knight08]

I found this awesome picture of Red Skull.

 

[mrsparkle]

I don't remember the Red Skull being an amputee?

 

[MarvelFanClub]

i think skull should wear a masked or be deformed under the mask!
