Thank you!

 

[C. Lee]

It's now the RED SKULL thread.

 

[lixdexia]

thanks C

so, the skull is reported to be mostly prosthetics with the nose to be removed in post. thoughts?

i like it, there's a texture i think the skull should have that you just can't get with cgi.

 

[redhawk23]

has anyone ever heard weaving due an accent?

 

[sdn]

I really hope they don't release any pictures of Red Skull. It would take away from the big reveal, like when Two-Face was finally revealed in TDK. Or when the shark was revealed in Jaws.

 

[lixdexia]

but the red skull shouldn't be hidden like jaws and should play a much more prominent role than two-face did in tdk. it'd be more akin to not seeing the joker until the movie is out

has anyone ever heard weaving due an accent?

He has put on an accent in The Matrix films (American), LOTR, V and The Wolfman (English).

German? Not as far as I know, but I'm sure he can do it.

 

[Steve Holt]

his german accent is pretty good, the audio leaked a couple months ago

 

[cryptic name]

has anyone ever heard weaving due an accent?

well he does one every time he plays an American or an Englishman, so yeah. Also heard him do a German accent while at comic con and it was awesome.

 

[Shivsguy616]

Where in Germany is Red Skull from?

 

[wobbly]

Don't think they ever specified where in Germany. Just been described as 'a Village' afaik.

Nosed to removed through cgi? I know the Skull now is a victim of his own poison and is permanently disfigured but wasn't the Skull's mask simply a mask prior to that?

Yup. It was always a mask until his original body finally died and Zola transferred his mind into a cloned body of Cap.
That bodies face was disfigured a bit later on (as you mentioned, by his own poison), then more recently that body was also killed (by Bucky/Winter Soldier).
After that his mind shared a body with another baddie until that too was killed, then his mind was placed into a robot body by Arnim Zola (and a 'telly-tubby' robot like Zola's own at that).

Currently his status is 'presumed dead' after an attempt to place his mind in Caps actual body failed and the robot body that was housing his mind was destroyed.

 

[BoredGuy]

But now Sin looks like Skull...

so Red Skull has boobies.

 

[GhostPoet]

I'm still betting on th device he's obessed with melting his face with it's awesome power.

 

[Denny67]

yup

 

[MALFUNCTION]

Seriously, there's no better way to establish both the Skull and the device. Despite getting his face burned off, the skull persists in his evil obsession to posses the device. Mwahahaha.

 

[lixdexia]

i love how everyone keeps saying "the device", don't we know that it's the cosmic cube?

 

[The Infernal]

Maybe he was just watching the end of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and like all Nazis his face melted.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

That's where my money's been since we learned about the Cube.

i think mind transference is something they could happily avoid in the films.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Weaving is beyond perfect casting, Just look at that face, It's got pure Evil written all over it (and he hasn't even got the Red Skull make-up on yet) I can't wait to see the Red Skull, I'm hoping they don't release any promo pics of what he's going to look like until the movie release date or better yet not at all and we'll just see the final look in the film .
