First Avenger OFFICIAL: Hugo Weaving is Red Skull

[Project862006]

so now cap actor has to act against SLJ/Norton/RDJ/SJ/Cheadle/Renner(Possibly)/Weaving/

LOL

 

[Chewy]

How can anyone be upset over such a WIN?

That's Fat Tonie for ya!

 

[Franklin Richards]

Sounds like Joe got someone from his stable. That should comfort him a bit since it seems he's been a bit frantic of late.

 

[sabetoonth]

wait, the JOANS BROTHERS auditioned for this film? if they would have made it in i would be cursing and swearin all over the internet

i havent seen the good son, perhaps he could do somehtign with it, who knows, im still with viggo, kretschmen, vosloo as my top three

 

[Aluchak]

Snowflakes chance in hell they made it in, but they got to audition, so I don't see why Macaulay shouldn't be able to.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Whatever peeps, I guess we can't be mildly suprised by an actor who goes out on a limb with this role. Just tells me they aren't willing to take risks. At least go out on a limb with Cap and the rest of the supporting cast is all I can ask for at this point. But seriously, this better be as gold as Stewart for Xavier or it's bust.

 

[Symbiotic]

Sweet dear God I hope this happens. This would be great villain casting.

 

[Spider-Fan]

He may be an obvious pick, FT, but he is a very good pick too. While it might not have imagination behind it, I know he'll be great.

 

[Aluchak]

Yeah, but its boring. Hes a typecast. I wish they'd go outside the box. A great choice, imo, would be macaulay culkin. Red Skull was scrawny before his transformation. And has any one seen the Good Son? He was creepy as hell in that movie, even though he was only a little kid. He's very good at disturbed people roles, and I think he'd make a great Red Skull. Plus, he wants to get back into acting, this could be his come back role. I'm sure he'd take it if he was offered it, and seeing how Dane Cook and the jo**** got to screen, I don't see why he, an actual qualified actor can't.

 

[Nirvana]

He would have been better for Sinestro.

Seriously, not a bad choice, though.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Jack was a "boring" and "obvious" pick for the Joker and that was film history.

 

[Rock Sexton]

....... I'm guessing it has been mentioned before, but my choice for the Red Skull is Huge Weaving. He's a decent "name" that Johnston could help surround the eventual Captain America with. Not to mention he's so odd looking, it would fit like a glove.

Bingo was his Name-O!

This is the natural fit. I am happy hearing they are trying to bring him aboard.

You just had to put yourself on the guillotine didn't ya...

 

[Rock Sexton]

I brought him up over a month ago..... some kinda joked that it was the universal pick for all bad guys in all movies, but I thought he was the natural fit for the part, not to mention he and Johnston were very familiar having just worked on "Wolfman" ....

 

[reta666]

This sounds good, I like weaving, he looks like the character in a way, great credentials etc etc. BUt yes this does sound too safe. Im not exactly complaining but I just dont feel the wow I felt with IM, IM2, Thor or TIH

Safe?

I call it a jack pot. You got a guy who actually resembles the character (unfortunate for him ). He has the acting chops. He's got mainstream appeal and exposure. He's just a great baddy all around. I can already picture him with a German accent. That's the one thing about him I really like: His tone. The guy commands the screen with his voice.

This.

 

[craigdbfan]

Superb pick. Just a fantastic decision all around.

 

[Spidey_62]

I saw this thread title and went . This would be awesome.

 

[BrlntDsgse]

For all the bickering over the casting of Cap, I hope most can be happy with this excellent choice....IF it pans out. And really, other than Agent Smith...I don't really see Weaving as typecast except in the realm of fanboy casting,where admittedely, he's mentioned for every evil mastermind under the sun.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Agreed. It is a great pick. I scoffed in casting threads cause in fan casting, I like variety and thinking outside the box. But, he is an obvious pick for a reason. Cause he'd be great in the role. Awesome decision by Marvel if they land him

I love me some Smith

"Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Rogers" ........

 

[Aluchak]

Whats that supposed to mean, don't like my idea? Don't like how I'm thinking outside the box?

 

[Spider-Fan]

"Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Rogers" ........

LOL! This post put the Mr. Roger's Neighborhood theme song in my head

They SO need to have him say Mr. Rogers in the film

 

[BojacRedleif]

Would have preferred Christoph Waltz, but I am 100% a.o.k. with this choice! That dude has such an incredible voice as-well.
