Hopefully they'll do it partially CGI like Voldemort.

Marvel Studios announced today that Hugo Weaving has been cast to star as Johann Schmidt aka the Red Skull in the studio’s highly anticipated movie CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER opposite Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell. In the early comics, Johann Schmidt was drafted into loyal service of The Third Reich and renamed “The Red Skull”. The character will be updated for the feature adaptation. Joe Johnston will direct the film penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.
Oh god, why do I get the feeling that means not being a Nazi.

They can make him a German Soldier without making him a Nazi, the comics have strayed from his origins during the whole lets pretend Nazis never happened phase the U.S went through about a year or two ago.
Kinda like the lets pretend Thomas Jefferson never happened phase we just went through.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread
Let's just hope that they don't adapt the Ultimates version:
Making Weaving in the present time Evans' son....I'd rather cut the Nazi out then do the Ultimates route...

The idea is that while Cap is in Suspended Animation, that Red Skull keeps living thinking his father is dead. So Weaving would be older looking that Evans if this is the route they went.

Yea but wouldn't that only work if it took place in modern day? I thought this was only during WWII and they thaw Cap out the first time for the Avengers.

That's what I was thinking, but I"m a little confused right now. My dog just caught a squirrel in the backyard and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the body.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread
Samuel Jackson is in Cap. Nick Fury wouldn't even have been alive unless they are passing him off as 62+. It probably safe to say that SLJ is probably just a cameo, who is to say that Weaving isn't just a cameo of sorts as well setting up another film?
Like I said, I hope they don't go that route and I hope that Weaving shows up more than just a couple of seconds but I don't have a lot of faith in this production.

Howard Stark to appear in 'Captain America'
Wednesday, May 5 2010, 10:58am EDT
By Mike Moody, Entertainment Reporter
Marvel
Jon Favreau has revealed that the character of Howard Stark, Tony Stark's father, will appear in Captain America: The First Avenger.
Speaking to MTV, the Iron Man 2 director said that Howard, played by John Slattery in Marvel's Iron Man sequel, will play a role in the Captain America movie.
Favreau explained that the character will most likely be played by a different actor in Captain America since that film takes place during World War II.
"[Howard Stark] was starting out during that time, and [he] was involved with the war effort, much like Howard Hughes," Favreau said.
Iron Man 2 opens in US cinemas on Friday. Captain America is expected to premiere July 22, 2011.

Slattery huh? I like him on Mad Men and I'm sure he'll do ok. It's likely just a cameo in IM2 for him anyway, but still, I was digging the Tim Robbins for Howard Stark rumor.

Nice!! I like how they're tying up all the little tidbits of info. like that. Tony's father helped design the A-bombs back then right?? That's when Stark Industries would've been upstarting.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread
I'm sure by "updating" Red Skull they mean they'll have a more modern origin to him that ties in with Cap's. Kind of like the 89 Batman Joker. I'd never heard the Ultimates story, but hopefully that's not it.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread
My God, that idea for the Ultimates has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Apparently the Ultimates is horrible now, I know that makes me not want to read it, and I was already feeling that way after the last two TPB's...
I was thinking that maybe his head wouldn't be a red skull is what they meant by updating. I hope they keep him a nazi, but if he isn't it won't be the worst thing in the world.
