First Avenger OFFICIAL: Hugo Weaving is Red Skull

[Colonel Kurtz]

Der Sküll should start out as normal, but when one of the lethal personalized gas guns he uses on his victims misfires, it turns him into The Red Skull.

seems like the cosmic cube will give him his skull look.....
was actually hoping for a mask

 

[Rock Sexton]

Great news, that is what I was hoping for.

Same with me.

 

[roach]

just because he is wearing prosthetics doesnt mean it wont be a mask on screen...just saying

 

[Tony Stark]

I want a masked Red Skull. Something that would just be used to hide his identity as a shadowy figure. Something that looks regal and not like a halloween costume. Like someone said before an opera type mask.

Something similar to this but more rounded and refined (think Phantom of the Opera):

 

[Colonel Kurtz]

In the comics Der Führer gave him the mask.

 

[Spideyfan93]

Yep, seems like the Cosmic Cube is going to do it and make him an ugly mother******. I hope it goes down this way:

 

[Shivsguy616]

Der Sküll . . .

Der Totenkopf or der Schädel.

 

[NEXUS 6]

Unfortunately, I can honestly say I feel like it's not going to matter much... so far the Marvel villains haven't become their comic counterparts until the Third Act. I've got a horrible feeling that we'll be seeing Skully as a plain old Nazi until just before the final battle.

And we get a look on how he becomes the Red Skull, because in the movie everything has to be explained.

 

[Surfer]

I agree with most of the more recent posts that it seems likely they will use the Cosmic Cube to melt his face like they did in Raiders of the Lost Ark, except with better special effects. I know that does not follow the origins of him wearing a mask, but I think it would be a change for the better. I also wouldn't mind them incorporating his origin with the gas canister misfiring (dust of death) scenario, but I guess we will have to wait and see what they decide to do.

I know we still haven't seen a true pic of Evans as Cap but why not just a pic of the skull.

 

[Chewy]

I think they should never release the first pic of the Red Skull

And why?

 

[lixdexia]

i think they should release the whole film!

 

[spider1975]

Well yes....but we have a ways to go. Need some to juice to fill the gaps.

yes, but i was just making a joke. you gave no reasoning for wanting a picture of the red skull now, so i made a similar groundless demand.

with the movie so far away and thor coming before it, it does marvel no good to waste the hype a red skull pic would bring just yet.

There was no "reason" behind the question. I am just getting a little annoyed with Marvel keeping a lot of things under such tight wrap. They are not going to kill anything by showing a pic. Same with Thor, GL, even Spider-Man. Why can't we see a taste? I think we all want that.

I can hear the sound of a thread closing.

I can hear the sound of a thread closing.

Why? I think it is a legit question and I think there are a lot fans out there thinking the same thing. If a thread about Emma Stone not being a natural blond (like it matters) can keep on going, why not a thread about a pivotal villian in Cap's movie?

1- they keep it wrapped up because they get better returns when they wait and release things closer to the movie. they're thinking about the bottom line, not wither or not we want the pictures.
2- your desire for the pictures don't really need their own thread, there are plenty others here you could have made that statement in

So I suppose to start a thread, it should because I have pivotal info on something relating to the movie? I was of the understanding we are all fans and we come here to discuss things we have interest in. I didn't know that my threads had to to be super in depth.

Close the thread then. Sorry for voicing such a "stupid" question.

it's not that your opinion was stupid, i want a red skull pic too, but one opinion on an issue as frivolous as this does not need it's own thread. maybe rename it the red skull thread and broaden the discussion.
