First Avenger OFFICIAL: Hugo Weaving is Red Skull

[SpiderByte]

A manip I made based on the theory that, since his face will be because of a corrupted SS Serum, he might resemble Abomination a bit:

That's the same thing I thought about. That his face gets hideously deformed because of an imperfect version of the SS serum which I think would add an extra dimension to the classic Cap vs. Red Skull confrontation.

Not to mention that it ties in well with the other films of the same universe.

Yes it does. I can see the Red Skull trying to corrupt Cap by telling him they are "gods" and he should be joining him instead of opposing him.

 

[TheWatcher]

Good ideas!
Mads Mikkelson(1st choice) or Jackie Earle Haley(2nd choice) should play Him.

I think the look of Two Face in TDK has kind of given them more freedome in exploring possible looks. I hope it's ****ing intense and gruesome.

 

[SpiderByte]

Two face is different. He was damaged on the outside, but Skull can't burn up like Two Face. I'd say Abomination's is the closest we can get, concept wise, manip wise, and story wise.

I'm sorta in the middle of both these statements. I do lean more toward CGI for Skull's look and he should look frightening but not like a burn victim but more bony and skull-like than Abomination.

I just hope he's a real cruel and heartless bastich. The kind of guy that would come upon a small town and would have everyone executed if they didn't bend to his will. All the while, he's loving it too.

werent we talking about that and those manips just a few days ago?

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.

Chris Cooper? Good actor, but all the same I'm glad with the way it all worked out.

I can't see Viggo doing this, that being said he did do Arogorn, if the script gives him plenty to say I can't see why he'd be totally against it. If the last two years or so have shown us anything it is that actors should really get over themselves and realise the potentially fantastic roles that are out there.

That being said, I think it's a bit naive to assume that Viggo and JJ have a good working relationship. Hey, maybe McG should ask Bale if he wants to be in his next rom-com.

 

[NEXUS 6]

Luke Goss?

 

[samsnee]

No, he's already played two comic villains, no need for a third.

 

[NEXUS 6]

That's right I forgot he was in Blade II. Otherwise he disguises himself well, and the Red Skull role would call for heavy prosthetics.

 

[SpiderByte]

Or CGI Mocap.

I never thought of Mikkelsen for Red Skull, but I really like that idea. Which in itself is sad since I've only seen him in Casino Royale and a scene of him in Clash of the Titans.

Jackie Earl Haley's name appears in yet another thread for fan casting

I really wish we would stop using certain actors for EVERY comic film.

 

[Webhead2006]

i rather have actor with mask/makeup. No reason to cgi/motion cap red skull.

Fan casting of 'flavour if the month actors' for every movie is a staple of these boards; it'd be weird without it.

Hell yes - the art of practical prosthetic make-up fx is in danger of dying a death already in motion pictures, without the further use of CG for a character that just screams 'prosthetic make-up'.

Red Skull is crying out for the Rick Baker/Legacy Studios treatment; anything else just seems so unneccesary.

 

[SpiderByte]

I think they could go the Dark Knight way and use a bit of makeup for reference and mocap for the final effects.

 

[Webhead2006]

they could but it would be a whole lot easier and cheaper to just do makeup/mask-posthesitic work. Then CGI/MOTION CAP

 

[Chris B]

Personally, I think they should go for someone whose around the same age as whoever is cast as Captain America. I think it would add to their dynamic if Cap and the Red Skull were contemporaries.

So I like the idea of Michael Fassenbender.

 

[deathshead2]

If he wasn't busy I'd say Tom Hardy.

 

[SpiderByte]

True.

On a side note Deathshead, your avatar is so *****ing cute and so hilarious at the same time.
