First Avenger OFFICIAL: Hugo Weaving is Red Skull

[Webhead2006]

yea the middle/bottom one is of the new ultimate red skull, the top one was a pretty cool look i would be down with that. i am sure they will be going classic skull all the way. Hard to really adapt the ultimate cap since the story just started out plus wouldnt make any dam sense for film.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I don't want Ultimate Red Skull to be the basis for the film anyway. I would much rather have Red Skull be Cap's Nazi arch-nemesis from World War II then be his twisted illegitimate son.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I agree

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i was just stating since we know the film is ww2 setting, and skull is the villain of the film. there is no reason why they would be doing ultimate version.

 

[Artistsean]

Maybe that choice is meant to ask about his appearence.
Like maybe they are asking if the Red Skull should be a guy in a mask,
a mutated guy like the bad movie,
or if he should have mutilated his own face like in the ultimate comic.

 

[Avengers-Report]

Ultimate Red Skull would be a terrible choice, just stick with the original.

 

[BETArayBill]

When did the ultimate red skull come into the ultimates i stoped reading it after loeb came on as writer

 

[Young Superman]

How about Joaquin Phoenix as Red Skull?

 

[Webhead2006]

he appeared in the revamped ultimate avengers title post the ultimtum wave deal.

 

[Iceman]

Christoph Waltz for Red Skull!

 

[Artistsean]

Mark Miller is back on the Ultimates. Its gotten back to being good, even the change in the Ultimate Universe.

What if they used the 616 Red Skull, but made him mutated or mutilated his own face?
Personally I want the classic Skull, with the mask and all. But I would be fine with either.

 

[Webhead2006]

well i am sure storywise he will be classic skull, as for look i wouldnt mind if its a mask he wears to instill fear in his soliders or if they say he used a bad SSS formula and his face mutated.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I want the mutated/mutilated RS frankly. I think it would fit more with the Nazis and it would also make him more disturbing.

I hate the 90s Cap film but I liked RS's look in that film. Until they completely changed it when they jumped towards the present that is. I would like to see how that kind of look would turn out with the make up team for a big budget summer blockbuster film.

 

[TikkiEXX]

i wonder if ole Skully will live thru the Cap movie? if he does they can use him again down the line in Cap 2 or whatever depending on the storyline.

 

[Webhead2006]

i am sure they will probably make it look like he "dies" but if he has SSS formula in his system maybe he lives and is a threat for the next few decades.

 

[That-Guy]

I'm definitely in favor of the Red Skull being deformed as opposed to just a dude in a mask. I also think he should have Cap's enhanced abilities as well, to make for a more even fight.

However, I really hope they won't go with that bizarre Ulimate origin. Where the hell did they come up with that sh**?

 

[TikkiEXX]

i kind of like Ultimate Skully. but im a big fan of the Ultimates as long as that hack Loeb isnt writing it and taking a poop on the whole universe. but Ultimate Skully has no place in the Cap movie.

 

[Silvermoth]

I would like to see him unscarred first so that we can properly see the actor's expression.

Then before the film's climatic battle, he puts on the mask as a means to terrify his enemies.

(Have I mentioned I would like to see Robert Carlyle as the Red Skull

What is this weird mentality of having Red Skull not being Red Skull for most of the film? We already had this with the 90s Cap film. We don't need it again for this new film.

 

[Webhead2006]

even with makeup/mask of a skull there is many ways to still show emotions and all that an actor can do.

 

[jab1118]

I really want him to be scared and not a mask. If its a mask they will feel the need to have him take it off all the time so we can see the actor

 

[Deaths Head II]

Speaking of which, one good case against the mask is that it'll cover the actor's expressions way more then make up will. Especially the overly large mask some people are suggesting.

 

[Webhead2006]

even if it was a mask, whos to say it would be a full covering mask like spider-man. It could have openings in eyes, and mouth areas.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I still think that's making it pointlessly difficult. Having it be just make up just allows for more freedom.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i would perfer makeup to i was just pointing out if they did go with a mask it would have to be like one of the full covering faceless mask types. But a type that has openings around the eyes so we see the eyes of actor, and same with mouth area open so he is able to talk and we can see his mouth moving and all that.
