Nope just responding to Roach.

 

[roach]

thats kool thanks...although I am not sure about the "some capacity" comment

 

[Webhead2006]

bucky will probably be friend and ally with cap. And with the invaders also being in the film it will probably be cap, bucky, and then probably like 3 other invader guys to make up the group there.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Hugo Weaving and I'm sure he'll be an absolutely great Red Skull, but I'm still kinda disappointed that Mads Mikkelsen didn't get the part. He was BY FAR my favorite fit for the character. Hugo will rock though.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea mads would have been another solid actor. Though for us we dont know who else tested or was looked at for red skull. So its hard to judge what their decision was to go with hugo.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Hugo Weaving as Skull? Perfect casting again by Marvel. (The others being Downey & Norton)

 

[Webhead2006]

yea and i am sure any day now marvel will do an official deal. like how we finally get from marvel studios on both evans, and stan.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I SO want this to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Darkness Falls]

can't wait for our first look at the red skull
with today's technology/makeup achievements i'm certain it will look amazing, much better than the 90's movie

 

[Webhead2006]

totally mask/makeup stuff today is so great. So i hope he does have a wicked look.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Perfect choice, IMO. HOpe it happens.

 

[Chris Wallace]

i am sure skull will have an accent at least. no reason they wouldnt.

Let's just hope he's not Italian this time.

 

[Webhead2006]

well i dont think we have to worry there chris. We know its 40s and nazis so it will probably be german and all that. The question is how good is hugo's german?

 

[paulogonza]

but hugo is not confirmed yet, if he signed Marvel was confirm when does eith Evans and Stan, i think they dont found a agree.

 

[DocHoliday]

True but we haven't heard any other names. And you'd think they's at least have a contingency plan.

 

[paulogonza]

correct, i hope so, or Marvel has wait announces Evans for announces Hugo, because put the villain before the main carachter is very strange.

 

[Webhead2006]

i think they probably do have hugo but probably will probably not say it officially via marvel site to maybe we get another cast member confirmed like peggy or an invader.

 

[paulogonza]

weel,maybe when peggy is announced,what must be soon, they announced Hugo, because they start filming in more orless twomonths,and they need the cast before that,i thought after Chris choiced as Capatain,the rest of the cast will be more fast.

 

[Webhead2006]

3 months shooting starts in june 28th. so we got april, may, and all of june before filming starts. And ya it will be nice for marvel to officially comment on hugo or not since we got evans/stan official from the studio.

well, maybe hugo weaving finally confirmed

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Hugo's news was kind of overshadowed by the hoopla involving Cap's casting, but I think he's cool as hell and I'm happy that he's in. In fact I never paid much attention to Skull's casting at all, who were the leading choices around here?

 

[Webhead2006]

yea hugo is a solid pick for lead villain, and yea he probably has been official for awhile. I still cant wait to see what direction/look they go for red skull. As for other names there was no official word of guys testing for the role as i recall. jsut a bunch of fan fav choices.

 

[BigSams50]

I wanted Hugo as Sinestro, but red skull will do lol

I wanted Christoph Waltz, but Weaving is a fine choice.
