For a second there I thought you were referring to my avatar as "cute."

for me i would perfer an older red skull myself. more so if they want him to be a big time military guy for the nazi's.

 

[sabetoonth]

a combination of makeup with a little bit of CGI enhancemnt would be nice, only use CGI if it helps, not just to be using CGI

 

[Webhead2006]

totally sabe. There is no real need for red skull to be cgi at all. makeup/mask stuff are great these days.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Of course they are - and it's something that's in real danger of dying out in this era of 'ah, let's just CG it'.

Done right, they could make an absolutely kick-ass [and scary] practical prosthetic for RS. Ok, touch it up with CG like Two Face if needs be - but all CG is a definite no-no for me.

I'm going to say Til Schweiger. Second choice, Viggo Mortensen. I know a lot of people are calling for Christoph Waltz or Mads Mikkelsen, but I think Waltz is too goofy and kind of effeminate, which worked EXTREMELY well for Hans Landa, but Red Skull is a different breed. I don't think it's sound logically to say "He played a badass Nazi villain before, he can do it again!" As for Mikkelsen, I just never thought he had much screen presence. He's kind of slight.

I think that Red Skull should be a very intense, intimidating, scary, violent, serious character. I think Red Skull should be old enough to carry authority, but young enough to be a physical threat, which is why I think the late 40s, early 50s age range works.

Christolph Waltz was menacing as Hans, but in a mind***** sort of way. What made Waltz so effective was his restraint that was almost haunting -- someone so evil who was so articulate and calculated.

I want Red Skull to be menacing in a psycho, pure evil sort of way. I don't know for sure if Waltz can or cannot play that, but I feel like Viggo Mortensen would portray Red Skull better. Mortensen is also a little more physically imposing than Waltz.

 

[Kurosawa]

Christolph Waltz should be Zemo, imo.

 

[Webhead2006]

i cant wait to see who scores red skull

 

[BrlntDsgse]

I like Hugo Weaving for the Skull, he gets suggested for every "mastermind" villain role, but he seems to really fit this one. Red Skull has some similarity to Agent Smith.....cold and calculating but with this seething anger just under the surface. Mikkelsen for Zemo(though I also like your idea of Waltz, Kurosawa). Still trying to think of an idea for Arnim Zola but I'm drawing a blank.



Oh, and Tom Cruise for Hitler

 

[DocHoliday]

Michael Fassbender.

 

[OB12]

What about Paul Bettany for Red Skull? He is a good actor and physically he would be similar to JK, if he gets Cap.

Paul Bettany voices Tony Stark's JARVIS computer system. If he plays Red Skull that means Tony based his computer's voice on a Nazi super villain, which raises some serious questions.

 

[OB12]

Ha! I forgot that he voices JARVIS. That certainly would add an interesting layer to things.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I would love if Waltz were the Red Skull, but I'd rather he not do it cause I don't want to see a guy that talented type cast as a villain or Nazi. I'd rather see him in different stuff, though I think he'd be excellent as the Red Skull.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i cant wait to see who the score for red skull, i hope its a great pick.

 

[sabetoonth]

what should the skulls "imperial march" be? the score that comes on when hes present, his theme?

 

[Webhead2006]

some strong epic march score lol. something like darth vader's was.

 

[Bubonic]

What does the ultimate red skull look like, much different then the 616 version?

 

[ElMariachi]

just get Willem Dafoe to play him.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

This is Ultimate Red Skull

 

[Bubonic]

Thanks, personally not feeling him and his cultist vibe, be maybe the look is more understandable contextually.

I like the mask/deformation combo, so long as it doesn't look tacky.

 

[sabetoonth]

some strong epic march score lol. something like darth vader's was.

this i relaize, what like, how should it be, what would make people think red skull when they hear it, what would make it memorable?
im thinking big drums, but also some violins, and some tuba.trombones perhaps

 

[KangConquers]

Red Skull better be someone good, cause the latest Cap possibilities look TERRIBLE. We need someone to carry the movie.
